‘Tested for bad boys’: Watch resurfaced Fiat 500 advert from 2016

Independent TV

A Fiat 500 advertisement from 2016 showed laboratory workers testing out the car by slamming its doors and hitting it with a handbag.

The commercial has resurfaced after it was re-posted online this week.

In the video, a worker repeatedly hits and kicks the vehicle — a green Fiat 500S model.

The advertisement then cuts to a couple arguing inside a car before the woman exits the vehicle, slamming the door and kicking its wheel before walking away and returning to hit the bonnet with a handbag.
