Fiat 500 “New Wave” Ad

Oh my God! The Fiat 500s are so miserable in Europe, they’re committing suicide en masse by driving off cliffs into the ocean and drowning themselves! Oh, the, um, automotivity? And to try to cover it up, Fiat then pretends that these cars drove across the ocean floor and popped out of the water like the zombie hordes in Land of the Dead, invading America! So, now we’ve got a bunch of new illegal immigrant cars, taking jobs away from American cars? And they’re admitting it publicly in this commercial? Wow, talk about shameless: covering up suicides and encouraging illegal car importation. Oh, for shame! (You thought it was hard to find the heroin in The French Connection? What if their smuggling cars were driving up out of the ocean all willy-nilly? They'd never stop them!)
