Back in May Saatchi & Saatchi's ad for Toyota's Rav 4 was banned by the Advertising Standards Complaints Board in New Zealand after 17 people complained.
The spot shows a husband and wife fighting over who gets to the car first. See more husbands and wives racing each other in badland.
Now the ad is being allowed back on television for mature audiences only.
But today the appeal panel allowed Toyota's appeal and said the ads could run after 8.30pm for adult audiences only.
"In summary. . . the appeal is allowed provided that the advertisement receives an AO rating and is only broadcast during adult programmes," the board concluded in its decision.
