Does anyone remember the old Volvo ad where they show the 5 guys roll the Volvo over, then hop in and drive off? That commercial was wierd.
Good:
I like the Mitsubishi Galant commercial that has The oh la la song playing in the background. I guess it just points out how the Galant attracts buyers of all different ages.
I also like the Eclipse commercial where the 2 guys are cruising down some desert freeway and they are going the same exact speed as the sheriff next to them. I really like Put your body in motion song(I actually bought the CD).
Bad:
I think its a local ad for Kia. They show a Kia Rio spin around (like the old Altima ads) except the car doesnt do a full 180 and it leans and bounces around.
The old Hyundai Tiburon commercial where they show the Tiburon completely submerged in the water actually "driving" around.
The new Lancer spots running with that Barenaked Ladies song "1 Week" are lame. $41k car for $14k, yeah sure! Not only are they annoying, they play twice each commercial break, like those stupid Geico ads (god I hate that gekko [sp?]!!!)
I like the new Lincoln ads with John McEnroe... one where the ball boy uses the LS to fetch the ball and the other where everybody were wearing black in the "truck" ad.
The new Mitsu Lancer commercial using Barenaked Ladies' One Week .... I guess fun in driving is cranking up your stereo... nice song, but that ad seems to imply that.... similar to the Eclipse ad. Good or bad.. I don't know, but somewhat entertaining.
catch the new Toyota slogan? "Get the feeling--Toyota?" And it emphasizes the elipsoid "T" logo. Is it a play off the old "Oh what a feeling!" ads? Makes about as much sense as "TOYOTA|everyday."
I was rammed by a Camry a few months ago. Bounced right off my back bumper. No damage to my car, it's front bumper caved in and the hood popped up a little...I bet they loved what it did to their wallet.
See the new Honda Accord ad where the guy uses his baby's behind to clean up a spot of water left by sprinklers? Honda should fire their ad company ASAP. These might be regional, but those Buick "Can't get enough of you baby (sung by Smashmouth)" commercials are very grating to my mind and ears.
Tiger Woods cackling in annoying voice with Edgar (or was it Johnny) Winter playing in the background. All while driving the SCARY Rendezvous. I would like Egor back, please.
The one where the SUV, van and a car get sucked up in a tornado and the tornado then deposits a Rendezvous onto the ground with, you guessed it, Tiger Woods. And then when asked "Are you Tiger Woods?," Tiger Woods shakes his head "no" while mouthing the word "no." Tiger Woods and Buick, a horrible partnership if I ever saw one. Shouldn't Jack Nicklaus (sp?) or Arnold Palmer be Buick's spokesperson? They fit Buick's demographics better than Tiger Woods.
At least they didn't do a commercial with someone staring at a car in their driveway again...or some fake racetrack views of a slow economy car with loud pumping music .... I hate those.
I enjoy the ad, I don't see it very often. A mother is taking her child for a walk in a stroller. The child is naming the various items that they see, car, plane, bus. When the child sees the PT Cruiser, he doesn't know what to call it.
Not sure if this one was mentioned yet. I remembered seeing a big poster back in 1996 somewhere in Pennsylvania that had a BMW 325i Convertible on it with roof and windows down. It read: "Our hardware works best without windows." I thought it was hilarious!
But I thought it was good, it's the one about second hand smoke, the guy (passenger lights up)the driver, more or less a gramma type, I think she's driving a beatup escort takes it off road barely missing trees, scaring the daylights out of the guy.
Saw two great adds in a movie theatre, both with the Celica GT parked on a street in a treed suburban area. The jist of the commercial is how fast the car looks while parked. One has a dog "chase" the car and run into the back of it. The other has an elderly gentleman yelling "slow down you kids" and mumbling about what a bunch of punks they are, speding through the neighborhood. Have not seen them on TV. Both make you chuckle.
It was out last year, I think it was a Lexus commercial. The sheriff with his lights on following the car like hes going to pull him over. When he does, the cop is in the car and the car owner was in the Sheriff car, the Sheriff says thanks for letting me drive it and the other guy says thanks for letting me play with the siren. I thought it was pretty neat.
The Chevy Avalanche one thats out is stupid. Two guys riding in the middle of nowhere, they stop to put the back down and then take off again. It should show WHY THAT IS USEFULL you idiots! I though it was funny they use a black one that does not show how ugly that plastic crap all around the vehicle is.
I hate the car commercials that show the car so fast you can't really see it. All that money for the commercial and you still don't know if you want to visit a dealership to buy one...
hate pretty much all of the new Kia adds? They all seem to be about stupid people. The one with the girlfriend throwing garbage on the sportage, or the one with the guy going back and forth to his girlfriend/exgirlfriend's house. The guy at the wedding "Who's new car is that?" All of them bug me.
where an old guy got out his classic Porsche... some kind of roadster. A younger guy in the Boxster saw the car and turn to drive with it instead of his intended direction (which is the opposite way). Both of them said the same thing..... kinda funny.
I haven't decided to hate it yet, but the Chevy Avalanche commercials need work. I finally figured out who they should be marketing these things for- the kids who grew up playing with Transformers. That's all it is, a real life transformer.
the commercial where the image of the new Camry flashes on electronics billboards..... reminds me of 1984 - big brother is watching or something.... you will be assimilated!!!
The line of commercials "It only looks like a million bucks" has it all wrong. The way it should really read is "It only looks like a million other cars" I have nothing against Passats (one of my best friends drives one LOL). I just don't see anything special about the looks, does anyone else?
BTW, isn't "Commercials" mispelled in the title of this thread?
I'm trying to figure out the new Lexus ES300 commercial..... the kid says he wants to ride in that car..... kinda resembles some old movie ... ah.. nostalgia...
Pontiac commercial.... It seems like those people driving those cars are just too happy about the driving experience.... so unreal.... maybe they should have interivewed real people after a week of test drive.....

What was wrong with "I love what you do for me?"

Oh, what a feeling!

That "spin" move at the end is kind of cool, though...

I'd throw them back and ask if they had any other keys I could check out. Besides, they're not even giving away a car - it's just to drive for a week.
On second thought, I'd take the keys, drive it like hell and bring it back with most of the transmission fried and every body panel bashed in.
should work...

The Passat does looks better in person and I do like the look of the interior... a lot better than previous VWs.
