Toyota's latest commercial puts a different perspective to a familiar subject for the problem of car reliability, combining the equally well known problem of having to drain the dragon on a long trip.
This brilliant commercial from Toyota Europe is for the 2013 Avensis, the estate model to be precise. It explains that reliability means you can be counted on whenever somebody has to water the plants or shake hands with the governor.
Good-ol' reliable dad and his Avensis are prepared for an urgent pitstop just as soon as his son says he has to… see a man about a horse, shake the dew off the lily.
It's an embarasing commercial, but a good one, since it talks about something that happens to every young couple who might need to buy an estate like the Avensis.
