This seems to me to be complete madness. Should a Land Rover be seen to be driven only on a suburban street?.......

ha ha, the objection was about showing the vehicles being driven through the wilderness and "speeding" along urban streets. The complaint for the first detail was upheld as it was likely that those vehicles would never be used to be driven through wilderness. Didn't say that they wouldn't not be used to tear around city streets...

Ergo, I think if the ad was solely showing these vehicles tearing around urban environments it wouldn't be, false advertising as such as that's what they're actually used for...... hehe
