Huh?

It would have made more sense if the horse humped the car...

i think it was an interesting commercial showing the beauty of SLS
and also the hint of a black horse in the auto industry

Didn't seem strange to me. I thought it showed the elegance of the SLS quite well.

But the French guys running amuck!?! What's up with that?!?

Give me a $50k budget; hell, give me $5k, and I can make a commercial much better that that that will appeal to all Chinese people. It will involve Chairman Mao, flying dragons, and chinese acrobats -- it'll be awesome!!!

i think the general idea was that the horse, being a wild beast with lots of power is difficult to control. But then, imagine if all the power was tamed into a elegant, powerful stunning package like the black SLS.
