Have you guys seen the new Nissan Altima video ad where it's making a huge drift around a circle in a downtown area? I think it's NYC.

It's hilarious. It's a FWD automobile, yet they're showing it drifting!
It's really bad, and they have to use creative editing to make it look like it's drifting.
At 12 seconds it starts a "drift", note the braking tire smoke.
Oh, and the car is entering a turn to the right, but the next cut shows the drift with the car making a LEFT.
Then, it cuts to a lady with makeup shot, yeah, in the middle of a "drift", cause the Altima is so smooooth like that.
Then, the big drift, and a second cut where you see inner read tire smoking again from braking.

It's disingenuous at best, and FALSE advertising at worst!

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this.
Moderators, please move as necessary.

I believe that is called a roundabout

Besides you may not be able to hold a proper drift on a FWD, but you can still oversteer.

They keep showing on this channel we are watching at work. I thought maybe it was an AWD model or something, but it doesn't look like the Altima comes in AWD after looking at their ridiculously annoying website. Definitely a fishy ad.

Clearly fake unless that road happened to be coated in olive oil...

You guys are taking this thing way too seriously... It's just an ad for a regular car buyer... aka a typical Altima buyer.
