Mazda "Restaurant space available" ad

I like Mazda cars, seem to be ok quality and handle well, but the latest commercial for the CX30 makes no sense.
Couple sees "space available" sign, cut to scenes of them buying a small oven, shopping at what appears to be a supermarket meat counter and a specialty olive oil shop, and BOOM ! they have a restaurant up and running.
   What message are they trying to convey about the car ?

I hope they go out of business!! 😡

I suspect that they want us to associate the car with attractive young people who follow their dreams and succeed greatly.

I'd be more interested in whether it's a pleasure to use - no, not breaking the speed limit on the Pacific Coast Highway, but for my daily dull life.

I signed up here just to discuss this. Not only do I find the depicted situation of the ad to be unrealistic, but that it is being played too often. When I first saw it, I tried to make sense of what the couple were doing after seeing the restaurant sign -- showing them driving out to the boonies, THEN getting equipment, supplies and then PRESTO, a beautiful, ideal-looking restaurant is opened, with seemingly no lack of time and doing so flawlessly.    

This is the message that is being relayed, about "how PERFECTLY life goes"...as many ads do. As said, great car and all...but how is it promoting Mazda? Just that an attractive young couple not only have the means for an up-to-date, beautiful vehicle, but also get to open their own business. Just more perfectionism.

The other thing is, that after having recently begun streaming TV, I am already having to adjust, having heard this ad running repeatedly as I was trying to catch up on some news, before I sat down and switched something so it would end. Having seen this ad many other times recently, I had finally JUST HAD IT!

I like how they drive out to kingdom come just to get that perfect case of undoubtedly overpriced olive oil, instead of just ordering a few drums of it from some restaurant supply company and having UPS Freight deliver it, like normal people would.

Because it HAD to be locally sourced cage free GMO free organic olive oil for their resturant to keep their Uppity Rich White People street cred. What, you think they're going to buy in bulk STANDARD food supplies like the rubes and underclass would eat?
DUH!

This would be a really bad time to start a restaurant.

I promise you most people would never be able to tell the difference 

This AD stopped I'm guessing due to covid
