This is just a commercial, and a fairly clever one after you get over the perceived canicide, that's meant to show off the desirability of Subaru's lifted Impreza wagon, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/subaru/xv+crosstrek/">XV Crosstrek</a>.<br /><br />We'll try not to spoil it for you, because it is a fairly humorous piece, but you have to make sure to watch it from start to finish. The found-footage angle of it, which sort of presents it with the same quality as a Russian dashcam video, just adds to the video's ridiculous premise.<br /><br />We aren't sure if this is an actual ad from the Russian arm of <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/subaru/">Subaru</a>, as it seems to be posted from an independent account with only one video to its credit. Still, have a look <a href="/2014/04/26/subaru-xv-runs-over-dog-russian-ad-video/#continued">below</a>, and let us know what you think.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/04/26/subaru-xv-runs-over-dog-russian-ad-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Subaru XV runs over dog in Russian ad, but in a funny way</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/04/26/subaru-xv-runs-over-dog-russian-ad-video/">Subaru XV runs over dog in Russian ad, but in a funny way</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Sat, 26 Apr 2014 19:56:00 EST.
