Subaru Outback "Memory Lane" (2014) 1:00 (USA)

This might be my most favorite car ad in a while in terms of story telling and cast. The grandma hippie is absolutely perfect. They say you can't upstage children but damn she did. The uptight wife, the embarrassed husband/son, and the grandma who has seen and done more than any of these yuppie children ever will, who inspires the granddaughter. See? It has it all. Although...it's weird equating the longevity of a car, to holding on to the memory of when you met your husband. But i'll overlook it.

Nice job, guys.
