qashqai ad - bowling balls - is it for real?

Anyone seen the latest Qashqai ad? The one where a load of tenpin bowling balls are set off down a hill in some rundown urban neighbourhood and they bounce off all the parked cars, wrecking everything except the Qashqai which drives off unscatched?

Is it for real? Only at present the car is not available in North America which seems to me just the place they need it. Tornado Alley regularly has giant hail and my d-i-l comes from Calgary which is in the middle of "hail alley". Only last month a giant hail storm at midday wrote off thousands of cars in the city including her father's 4x4.

Anyone own a Qashqai? Is it really bowling ball and hence hail proof?

    :rotfl: Adverts for cars, including the CashCow;), bear little relationship to reality.

    The last advert showed them climbing up walls, and over rooftops, I have yet to see one achieve this.:D

    I don't like those ads, tbh.... They playing with the city one looks like the city's trying to kill the car!

    They do, while their grandchildren watch weird dancing men/things in bowls of cereal....
