When I saw this advert I was so taken by surprise and delight that I actually started sqealing with excitement.
Is this not just a great ad? It manages to reference two cheesy-retro-historical objects (transformers and disco-dancing) and at the end of it all you know there is no cooler ad on telly right now.
For those of you who've yet to see it, or want to keep a copy for posterity's sake:
odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris. nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.
This is one of the best new ads I've seen in ages. Just brilliant, and the last thing I'd expect from Citroen, who have been making fucking awful adverts for years.

It's odd just how powerful that advert is, I was literally open mouthed. Invoking the mighty spirit of the Transformers... some adman somewhere is surely going to heaven now.
However the disco dancing was a bit of a let down after that shock, I'd have really liked to have seen the carbot taking on a transforming plane or somesuch. It made me desperate for there to be a CGI Transformers movie... there isn't one somewhere already, is there?
