2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
If you have a good product you don't have to mention the competition at all - never mind using their names...

Wiki says they sold two million of them beween '75 and '82.
I can't remember a MB/BMW etc ad comparing itself to more expensive competition. Heck, I don't think Caddy is even doing it. Hyundai did it when the Genesis was introduced, and got some mocking.
On the commercial note, I notice the Camry Army daughter commercial seems to have vanished right about the time it was parodied.

Any commercial with whistling is awful, too.

The Chevy wifi ad is still airing a lot, but the "this must be a BMW" themed one seems to have vanished.

I don't really find German car drivers to be bad though, my higher than usual ratio of bad driver offenders come from Toyotas. Toyota drivers seem to be a menace in the streets. Not all of course, but a higher number than usual. Maybe it is because Toyotas are so popular in CA.
In Canada, I see there is a new set of Toyota ads featuring real owners, and they are as painful as the ones from the US a few years ago (Canada always seems to be following in some areas). Doesn't make me want to buy one, I will say that. Cars for people who don't like cars, or driving, or paying attention.
In my area, definitely a minority of BMWs are sold with the turn signal option package, and I think the local Audi dealer also deletes that option when ordering their fleet, too. I found the commercial funny, and in an apparent effort to differentiate an Audi buyer from your typical German car-buying demographic.

To be honest I don't put much stock in the 100K figure. Since the mid-80s I've only had 2 cars that didn't sail past 100K miles. A Mercury Topaz (comfortable but horribly unreliable) and a Camry.(AT failed at 62K miles). Even the Renault Alliance my dad gave me made it to 137K (though it was falling apart by then).
The Vue was traded in for a Mazda CX-7, the L300 was traded in for a MINI and our ION was "gifted" to my step son and his wife and is still going strong with 120K on the clock.

On Buick. There's a certain irony with me and Buick. For years they wanted to lower their buyers age and I'd have loved to find one that spun my chair. They were perfectly fine but in no way compelling. Too bad. I have a lot of emotional attachment to Buick. Now they are finally making things that I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen in I'd be raising the average driver's age if I bought one.
Is he still in the business, just elsewhere?

Funny thing. I assume he just gets happy feet because when you call a place he used to work they talkabout how great he is. He's a fun guy to hang with. Born the day I turned 24.

In my area, Chevy is still running the "just like a Range Rover" themed dopeyness, too.
