Thats an awesome ad semiotically if you think about it, a great take on the cliche that is girls washing cars getting wet but instead as the car is Japanese and something stereotypically Japanese is sumo wrestling and the large blokes as opposed to small petite girlys denotes a big tough car needs big tough guys to clean it..

Nice idea..

That's a pretty cool advert.

Well everyone is going to decode the ad differently, that is what I got out of it, but I have no sound so there may of been an obvious piss take sound track or something I couldnt hear..

That said, humour is another useful emotion to use when marketing something, sure we all got the basic premise of it though..
