I would like to remind people to please, only grab your own garmin, grabbing someone elses, especially in public, is a very bad idea.

I believe that the classic series, and ultra seven is on dvd.
(What? I'm a japan-grade nerd. I keep up with this stuff)

But because of the obvious care that they went to make the commercial, I want to buy a Garmin GPS and put in my future citroen c4

Yep, definitely my favorite of the commercials. This year.  I've watched it several times already.

It's one of those few commercials that gets everything right.

It's fun to watch and memorable.

It says something about the product that makes you want it.

It helps you distinguish the product from the competitors (remember its name)

There are plenty of entertaining commericals that fail in the last two and are actually considered failures because they don't actually sell the product.  The "dude you're getting a dell" commercials, for example, actually cause Dell's sales to drop.

EDIT:  The Garmin website at champion.garmon.com has an extended commercial and a section with several other monsters.
