THE SPOT
"Hotel Change" (:30) opens at a picturesque lodge, where the staff is milling about. The manager suddenly snaps to attention when he notices a vehicle driving in his direction. Rushing inside the hotel, he directs the staff to ready the premises. Surfaces are dusted, a silver tea set replaces an old version, the fountain is turned on, and flowers are placed to spruce up the building. A Range Rover drives up to the front entrance just as the final details are completed: the manager and the bellhop freshen their breath. The voiceover states, "Noticeably perfect. The Range Rover by Land Rover."
Spot broke in August.
