Wait....

Is this an American ad campaign? They're talking English... I assumed it was a Japanese campaign at which point it's lol, but nothing too out of the ordinary as I picture Japan.

--
As an American campaign it's shocking.

Being a terrible company wasn't enough for Toyota, they had go ruin a completely unrelated good thing too...

Marketing a car to a group in NA who never leave their houses.
This is the result.

I still don't know what to say to this. No, I'm lying. Here's what I say: what the hell was the marketing department thinking with this? Who is their target audience? Most of the Vocaloid fans I know are either too young or too broke or both to even think of buying cars, and folks that are old and financially stable enough to do so probably aren't going to be impressed by this ad.

And most wtf of all is the focus on bacon-wrapped hot dogs instead of... you know, the Toyota Corolla. It sounds good, but I'm pretty sure Toyota doesn't sell them so...

Once again, Toyota is making me ashamed to be a Toyota fan.

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

Vocaloid has fans in the US?

*likes vocaloids*

but i gotta admit this ad campaign is very odd...

i can understand miku, and even understand using her to sponsor a car, but wtf bacon hotdogs and wtf commercials with no mention of the product.

--
There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

Wah! Bacon-maki hottudogu!

The character model looks very flat and lifeless aside from the eyes. The lighting seems off and her hair is awful.

If I had hotdogs and bacon in my fridge I would totally make a bacon wrapped hot dog right now.

Oh, I am one yet many.

Err, yeah, it's just...awful.
Like Genesis said, it just doesn't make sense. I don't really care if Toyota wants to get bankrupt, but they're tarnishing Miku's image! :(
And the ads are just embarrassing.
