Looks like this year, Honda is using old 80s toys to push Holiday car sales. And they managed to get the OK to use 80s SSC for one.
It's.... um.... well...
take a look. :|

Well, the animation is good and the voice acting is well done, but it seems to portray the first SSC under very severe depression of sorts. And the way she told the others to get their own commercial just seemed out of character.
I know it's just a small commercial and perhaps I'm thinking about it too much, but compared to their other ads featuring toys like Skeletor and Jem/G.I. Joe, this seems a bit depressing.
At least that is how I interpret it.

I mean, I agree with the whole "get your own commercial" stuff on some level, that was my gut reaction but I was never all that bother with it because like.. in the end it's like.. a joke? I just like.. never took it seriously? Just kinda liked the nod to the old character and the talking about how a new car smell should smell like strawberries. (Totally agree.) And I kinda liked the whole "up and chipper" and then "daww" vibe of things. I dunno.
I'm not sure any of the others were actually SPOT on in character anyway. I liked Skeletor's but he wasn't exactly in character TOTALLY. Like, maybe he hadn't been breaking character but not exactly in character either. I also think it's probably supposed to be the TOY rather then the cartoon character. Like, that Strawberry Shortcake being a toy.. not exactly the "girl".
I dunno. Whatever you feel like. <3
