Act before its to late you know. Im glad they didnt ignore it.
Saw this last night
Car alarm going off, so someone drops a couch on a contour and crushes it, turning off the alarm
Also, those Nissan "best I ever had" ads aren't too great either. And those Ford "get ready 'cause here I come!" make me want to run and hide!
The latest round of Mitsu ads are pretty good, especially the Eclipse one that ends with "Wire it up, Baby!". Those are pretty cool.
I am curious though...would dropping a couch on a Contour like that really cause that much damage?? I mean, I've seen cars sat on top of each other in junkyards that didn't cause that much crushing, but then, they weren't dropped from a height, either!

I love the one with the guy in the jet pack...and the one with the Lincoln Town Car with aromatherapy candles....
Very clever and funny too!
the next day flashes on the screen, and we see a smiling owner getting into his perfectly repaired kia, and the service manager waving and smiling. as the camera moves around the leach, er i mean service dude, we see that he has his fingers crossed behind his back.
I appreciated the humor in their ads. So when it came time to consider purchasing a new commuter car I gave Kia the benefit of the doubt, and have now owned two Kias and love them both.
I was not comfortable with buying ANY econo-car, but it is what I needed at that time for my long commute. I never showed-off the econo Kia to my friends, yet I thought the car and the price were great. It just wasn't the upscale car I was used to driving.
OK, now Kia introduced the Optima. I liked my little Kia enough to check out the new lux-sedan, then bought one. The Optima I DO show-off. I got a chuckle the first time a friend asked if that was my car in the driveway. "Yesssss, it is, isn't it!" -SK
I remember a co-worker of mine talking about a Suburu and saying something like - "it has a special saftey body, just like a Volvo". It just annoyed me.
So tell your friend that his Subaru is also just like a 41 year old Chrysler!!

I hate this new guy in the Optima commercials....I hit the remote the minute one comes on.
Now we have the new Hyundai Tiburon commercial with the two guys in the new car wanting to open it up on a twisty mountain road, but they're stuck doing 20 behind a line of RV's. One dude finally falls asleep on the driver's shoulder who disgustingly pushes his head away - funny! Are those guys ambiguously gay?!
What next, Fred and Barney?
I wouldn't want a sport car that broke loose like that!
Then again, the Chevy Tracker commercial about the guy trying to tow an 18-wheeler... yeah, that happens - then they started to put the disclaimer - consult your manual....
Not that it would make me buy a Suzuki over a Honda, but hey it made me chuckle.
Some disabled man sued Toyota over that add because they had no disclaimer warning people of the dangers of "slip and slides"!
Toyota actually gave in...and put a disclaimer on it.
Good grief!
Hey Chrysler, stop spending the money on slick commercials and expensive airtime and put that money INTO your cars. Then, they might be better cars and you wouldn't have to advertise so much!
1. Jeep GC covered with mud, family get out and starts to walk away. Jeep starts shaking like a wet dog to get the mud off. Family get covered. I laughed at that one.
2. The bugs bunny affect with the Jeep GC driving under the DEEP snow (being in the Northeast I can relate to the deep snow). Stopping and turn at the stop sign, which you didn't even know it was a jeep till the lights came on at the stop sign.

I agree on the Toyota commercial. How about pulling the plug to that spot, right here, right now?
Honda commercials are pretty lame, too. "It'll take you to the beach, it'll take you to the desert, but one place it won't take you to...is the cleaners!" The jokes are so lame and so old. I keep thinking I'm gonna watch 'I Love Lucy' after the commercial is over!
Those three commercials for "the new Q" are getting on my nerves. Those outnumber the "right here right now" Toyota ads by quite a bit in my area. They sure are advertising that way over-priced Nissan quite abit.
I like those Lexus LS430 commercials. "Imagine the perfect car." Talk about truth in advertising! An exec (I assume) is sitting in his office and a LS430 forms around him. Perfect. Toyota's ad team has a winner here! Direct and to the point.
Something was said earlier about the Jaguar XJ8 lease ad about the guy who dropped 20 mil for a spaceship ride. If I had that much cash to blow, I certainly wouldn't LEASE a vehicle. Think about it. I wonder if Ford's brain trust had something to do with this ad?!
Don't get me started on those Acura ads...
