Where are the guys running up the ramps at the gallery mall parking garage, around the Whole Foods parking lot, and into the parking barriers at the aesthetic maintenance center? :shades:
I like the heritage themed spot, as I have a weakness for those. I'd also pick a UR-Quattro over most any aging yuppiemobile or new trend for the old 3er driver Audi makes today (even if it would break weekly).
LED has now evolved from bars of bulbs to curved light tubes. Kind of like how fins went from nubs to extensions to wings. What's next?
A7 is the best looking thing Audi makes, so it makes sense that's what is shown.
Still hatin' the Scion ad (I love the comments on the youtube version, too).
Over the weekend, I was visiting my mother, watching TV, and an ad for a Juke appeared. My mother recoiled at the look of the car, and worst of all, the name. "What's a Juke, what's that supposed to mean?". I replied with "ever hear of a jukebox or a juke joint", to which she had no answer. Then I had to say "you drive a Camry, what does "Camry" mean? It's a made up word" :shades:
There's a Hyundai ad, maybe locally produced, that is the typical screamer garbage Hyunkia has been known for. "Say Yyyyyyeeessss to Hyundai!" - annoying.
I am irritated by commercials with whistling music too - Ford and Honda have them locally. Very shallow ploy made to put the anxious shopper at ease, IMO.
...that is often tied to dealer ads for various 'classic cars" so utterly, mind-numbingly dreadful?
What's the message here? Could it be:
1. "You'll like my music better if I make it louder..."
2. " I promise to stop this music if you buy the car..."
Aside from this video being about as pleasant to listen to as a room full of screaming monkeys, notice the snappy outfit the guy is wearing---and sunglasses, too--a nice way to inspire confidence and trust.
Hey, he's probably the nicest fellow in the world, but everything about this ad is exactly the opposite of how my VERY successful friend sells muscle cars.
Older dinosaur rock fans who have access to simple video editing software, probably. Unfortunately, it seems to mix well with a lot of the customer base for those cars.
Perhaps you're right. It sort of matches the awful music you hear at swap meets and local car shows -- 8 hours of continous doo-wop. You know, there WAS good music in the 60s and 70s.
Doo-wop works for a 57 Skyliner or a 60 Impala, but maybe not for a Road Runner. Sometimes car show music is out of place like costumes can be at shows - like you've mentioned, flapper girls and men in straw hats in a 38 Packard doesn't work.
I like to listen to oldies in the fintail, and take anything from about 1959 through 1969 in that car, but anything older or newer seems out of place. The Christine effect and all :shades:
Don't know what it was like for others, but in Boston it was like the "Battle of the Diesels". They must've aired a half dozen BMW Diesel commercials and the Audi "Gas Station Freak-out" commercial 5 more times during the game.

Without even using the vehicles, they show the freedom and capability, and fun that it can entail. A home run. :shades:
Neat.
Isn't an Exige roadster just an Elise? They've come full circle.

Range Rover appears at 0:53.
Classic Range Rover no less, probably hubby's toy - princess wouldn't drive something so old or prone to unintended deceleration.

Love it.
"Elements" is OK (I'm an AWD fan so the sliding around is OK):

"Why" must've been done by a former Volvo employee. I would like it more if Audi had aced the recent frontal crash test in to the pole:

"LED" isn't much better than the Xmas one. It may be true but to me they're the modern day tail fin.

"Beauty" is meh.

Also a funny Rogue spot claiming it is thousands cheaper than CRV or RAV4. Well yeah, it's also 754 years old.
Also the $429 lease deal advertised is pretty unspectacular.
Faux Fairbanks appears in new Volkswagen Beetle ad (Alaska Dispatch)
"What, really? I thought it was supposed to be all kinds of sporty," she went on.
"Oh, you've been watching those commercials with the rally driver sliding the Dart all around, haven't you?"
"Well of course! It looks so cool."

Paul Revere started out in Boise so I used to see news about him every year or so.

In its infinite (!) wisdom, Infiniti is rebadging every vehicle in its lineup and they all begin with the letter "Q".
Q50 is the old G37 (however, the G37 will still be available as a 'loss leader')
QX60 is the old JX35
QX80 is the old QX56
Everything else will switch over to the new nomenclature over the next year or two.
But the old G37 will probably be a lease bargain.

As soon as Senna signed with Williams they banned it. Nobody could have kept up with him.
