@pug206girly Personally I think the car still looks modern today. A timeless design, and one of Peugeot's best. Unlike the big fat bloated things they produce today with a massive great mouth slapped on the front
this add is truly memorable , not usually one for remembering adds - BUT - this one is a classic simply cos of the lyrics in this song and those shark attack scenes , especially the outcome of the shark attack sc enes - real bravery for true love
this song had such an impact on me and my cousins and it reminds me of them and is the reason why iam gettin a rainbow tattoo in honour of them what an advert! xx
this is so moving , hope if the time ever comes I can be just as brave for the one I love , brilliant ad , has stuck in my head since I first seeing it
omg!! :_) I've been searching for this ad too but today I find it without searching... I love it maybe one of the reasons is 'cause my fav movie of all time is Jaws but the ad by itself has so good feelings... :_) beautiful.
Excellent commercials from Peugeot as always. You can see the older one from 1995 too. If only they spent a little more time re-doing their driver/passenger security as even a 1992 Mondeo performs better in a crash. Yeah but the Mondeo is bound to crash as it's handling is rubbish T.T. Anyways Great car, Great commercial, end of story.
Beautiful song and this advert will stay in my memory for the rest of my life. 0:53 is the best part. The woman has a flashback of her partner saving her all those years ago and she looks away realising that she is with her first and only true love. It's a shame that these days everyone always has affairs because they think that it's natural but that's so far from the truth. Sometimes your soulmate is right in front of you but you can't always see it.
I remember this from when I was a teenager. Such a nice advert: the boy saving the girl, and they're still together years later, and the cute-sounding girl singing True Colours.
This advert had such a strong impact on me when I was little. I remember crying watching it cause I thought it was so nice what the boy did for the girl. Wow, must be the only good car advert I've ever seen.
The 406 was probably the last decent Peugeot and the adverts were great, still memorable. What the hell has happened since? The cars look like godawful shite, are awful to drive and the adverts are all that 'drive sexy' bollocks. Come on Peugeot.....
The Daily Telegraph once wrote that all the car companies kept their own 406 as a standard to aim for. Luc Besson certainly liked it. Anyway, the 205, 306, 405 and 406 were all drawn by Pininfarina (yeah, the same Pininfarina Ferrari uses: cf 406 coupé & 456GT), then Peugeot decided they wanted to draw their own cars. Seems the effort need to do that was at the expense of the car's soul.
remeber this running inbetween the tenth kingdom on sky 1 when in was little cant believe its on youtube :D this is one of the only adverts i have remembered thank you!!
This advert is only a minute long, but like many who have commented, it is so powerful it has remained in my memories. Its nice to see passion excelling just wanting to market a car, adverts like this simply arn't made anymore.
Ultimately, the peugeot 406 is a legend because of this advert and the 1995 one featuring m people. These adverts showed how passionate peugeot was about the 406, the cinematography was amazing the choice of song and the storyline were so amazing that it went skin deep, which is why so many people remember it. The advert basically said you didn't have to buy a 3 series ect. to show how great you were, because buying the 406 and being modest was being true to yourself. No other car was the same!
Despite being a great ad overall, there are a number of things I don't understand.
The overall message is: 'Stand or fall/run or fight'....'you know who you are' (i.e which type of person you are: because you dealt with adversity in your life like this...
The shark story clearly articulates this theme and is therefore the strongest part of the advert by far, but what do the other parts really say on this?
The model featured looks awesome. I have a thing for Peugeots - it's like the styling of their cars is the best. I need to have owned a Peugeot in my lifetime. And a Saab. And a Volvo.
same, its always stuck in my mind, i saw it when i was 8, im now 19 ive been looking for it for like the last 3 years, im so glad i finally found it, i wish they had released this version of the song.
i havent seen this advert since i was a kid, and since then iv loved this song, and tried my hardest to find this ad, would love a recording of the girl singing it
get a life you tit. the 406 was right at the top of its class for years. there still very good cars today. loads of taxi companys wouldnt use them if they were crap would they now?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
a man wrote this advert.
is the woman with the sharky boyf obligated /stuck with him now, just cos he "rescued" her as a kid?
the bride.
turns up at the altar all angry faced,obviously she knows hes a loser, punches the prat just 4 the cleverman 2get HER handcuffed & imprisoned, whilst HE,no doubt, jets off on the honeymoon with his fancywoman.(cause of punch)
"thug" with kitten.finger down throat cliche
suited man giving pauper his shoes in the rain.insulting
ME TOO ! I have always favoured this version with the girl singing it, I have always known it was on a peugeot advert but have only now tracked it down. Do you know who sings it ? I really want to here this little girl singing the whole song if it exists, can you help ?
very nice advert.....Excellent car

maybe i'm too sentimental, but i don't find it cliche or bad.
if she had rescued him, would you see his continued gratitude as a pathetic obligation?
being cynical is one thing, but you're just being patronising. 'a man wrote this advert' - quite pretentious, don't you think?
