was gonna post this in THETavern but figured it'd get buried quickly & it is generally car related...

2 commercials have grabbed my attention recently

Worst: MercedesBenz
"I Love You I Love You I Love You I Love You ILoveYouILoveYouILuvU..."
makes me wanna Puke - maybe cuz it's played waaaaay too much on some channels
if their rape/pillaged/&sold-into-slavery treatment of Chrysler hadn't put me off them, THIS WOULD

Oh Gawd - there it goes again while typing this :p :p :p

BEST! Hyundai
Duh Duh Duh
esp. the Thus Sprach Zarathustra(2001 theme) one I saw first

I Love It I Love It I Love It I Love It I Love It I Love It ILoveItILuvIt! ;)

I LOVE both, DUH!

watching the stock market channel, I noticed the new Mandalay Bay commercial is using LINCOLN's Music!!!!
I think

I can not remember the car, but my favorite commercial showed an older model car morphing into the newer model. I like commercials to show the interior, and highlight the features. One I will never forget is the one for the Chrysler Cordoba which had Ricardo Monteblan pointing out the wonderful "Corinthian Leather". Ford's Taurus print ad is weak. The car is too small in the ad, and it stresses safety too much. Let's see an agressive close up.

I still like the Ford Truck commercials with Mike Rowe in them because they have a little humor in them and still gets the point across.

^^ yup, I agree BR. Mike is a good addition!

That morphing car rings a (faint) bell - Chrysler/Mopar?
& I hope they've got something special planned for the Taurus/TauruX campaign that should debut soon.


today's installment:
Saw Honda commercials for the Accordian Coupe & Sedan - interesting the sedan's was so dark you could barely make out what it looked like...
AND they NEVER showed the front!!!


update:
"http://home.surfree.com/~pauld/BOBBLE.gif Hold on tight to your dream http://home.surfree.com/~pauld/BOBBLE.gif"...
while we abandon everything we ever stood for!

Saw a post likening the new Accord to a Buick :eek:
__wlb_______ovl__
110.5 - 198.1 - 2005 Buick LaCrosse
109.0 - 194.6 - 2004-5 Buick Century
110.2 - 194.3 - 2008 Accord
107.9 - 189.5 - 2004-5 Accord (didn't have 06-07 #'s handy)

which leads me to speculate if the enlargement + questionable style
will lead to a repeat of
106.0 - 188.0 - Taurus 86-91
106.0 - 192.0 - Taurus 92-95
108.5 - 197.6 - Taurus 96-05 (still think a 'large' part of the decline was due to outgrowing its segment)

&
I'm guessing but wondering if the new Accords cost twice as much as the first ones, so they figured...

just saw the new(?) Cadillac commercial (link to video (http://www.egmcartech.com/2007/09/17/cadillac-to-spend-up-to-50-million-on-advertising-the-2008-cts/) - I think)

after a long list of features < important

& seeing as I can't get the song outta my head since seeing it...

this is a bit of a stretch*,
it's even a GE commercial, not GM as I thought at first,
http://www.splendad.com/ads/show/1479-GE-Locomotives-Take-My-Breath-Away

Quote:
"Workers around the world who work on GE trains, and the employees
at the GE Evolution Series plant in Erie, Pennsylvania all sing to the tune
of "Take My Breath Away". Some even have drums and other instruments,
while others do somersaults, to make it look like a music video."

excuse for posting:
* Think it'd make a GREAT car commercial!!!
got images of guys &or gals (Jill!!!) polishing & detailing their 'babies' & *ahem* getting-in to it ;)
...with the very last "Away" being drowned out by the engine as the car accelerates off into the sunset

we need more commercials that capitalize on an aficionado's 'feel' for his machine!

Kate Walsh + CTS

I love the CTS commercial but my all time favorite was the Un-Pimp your Auto from Volkswagen. That is still on my Ipod Touch.

The Hyundai Big Duh was annoying but was well planned to stick in your head.

Mike Rowe and his commercials were great.

The car morphing sounds like the Mustang commercial but could be wrong, or a different car all together. Now I'm on a mission to find it and post it.

just saw a FOCUS vs Pruis commercial :eek: :D
5star safety vs 4
&
$7000 savings = 4 years of gas

note: I wouldn't comparo those ^2^

Yea and it was terrible.

Can I say my favorite car commercials right now on the air are for the Volkswagen TDI vs. Toyota Prius. OMG I can not explain the look and funny look on my store manager when I showed him the commercial on my iPhone. He obviously drives a Prius. OMG too funny.

Past commercials for favorite were the V-Dub Volkswagen commercials for the trick out their car and they trashed the competition. Unfortunately they dropped a shipping crate with a VW Car atop an ugly Focus.

Worst were the DUH from Hyundai....enough said....BLAH..

thought I'd use this thread to post an Australian Ford Focus commercial I heard about at FordAustraliaForums.com (http://www.fordaustraliaforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38218), that directly takes on the Corolla (and goes further on a tank)

"Ford, of course" <Youtube LINK (http://www.youtube.com/user/fordofcourse)

a new worst?
just saw the :
ELEVEN DAYS in the Future commercial
and YOU TOO can be a ALIEN

from the drugged out guys at
(waaaay tooo)FARfuggingNOOGINs

A great commercial theme song was "Hey look at us now, we've got the winners and how, Lincoln-Mercury leads the way". Very snappy, catchy and up beat.

when was that^, LM4EVR?
if I ever can remember to take my headphones to the library I'll look on youtube


&
just saw a Very anti-Thugota commercial by Nissan - saying how much better the Altima is than the Crummery (specifically!)
with nasty quotes from Autoweek & umm somebody else

Anyone Else see this or is it local?

yes, Reno's edition of CNBC had a new *JILL* commercial
based on the CashForClunkers... ...AREN'T MERCURY'S MARINER & MILAN JUST PERFECT FOR THIS?!?!!!

imho, events and situations are conspiring to force Fomoco to KEEP MERC
first_ JILL (nuff said)

I absolutely loved the commercials. Makes me want to buy a Taurus and a Milan Hybrid. :) :D :cool:

just saw a Sprint "mifi" commercial
& it sure looks like they used a FLEX as the vehicle in it :)

(the car 'graphic' is slightly cartoon-er-ized so I'm not positive *altho* the tail lights look like Flex to me)

for some strange reason (tho guess inspired by Lincoln's use of re-made oldies) just thought of an idea for some Ford commercials - - considering how so many articles have been coming out painting Ford (rightfully) as the Leader of domestic AND Mainstream auto mfgs...

I think one of the most annoying is for the new Jetta. The one showing the guy working odd jobs to be able to afford one. It's stupid and useless. If I worked like that to get enough for 2 Jettas, I would buy something better like an SHO Taurus.

Anyone remember the Lincoln Mark 8 commercial waaaay back showng a bar being lowered and at a certain speed the lincoln lowers itself for better aero and drives under the bar. I liked that one.

Has anyone else noticed this in the new Ford Fiesta commercial? The person on the unicycle holding the umbrella with an "A" is having a slight problem where the person holding the umbrella with the "H" almost runs into him/her. This happens near the end of the commercial. I know we are suppose to be looking at the car only during the commercial but I tend to over-analyze everything so my wife says. Anyways...

Ford put nine of its own engineers inside of a new car they helped create, the 2013 Ford Taurus SHO, so they could experience its capabilities for themselves. Nothing out of the ordinary there, but Ford also thoughtfully put NASCAR driver Carl Edwards in the driver's seat, and it turns out that the boffins didn't realize how capable their car was until the Sprint Cup driver showed them.

Cool commercial 2b2. Anyone other than me notice that Mercury Sable go by in the background at 50 seconds?

I love how the Accord owner seems to be some skippy little fidgety guy, and the Fusion owner seems so confident. It is apparent that he is called on often to get his friend out of a bind due to poor decisions.

YW & HNY, Mercury & Buick Fan and TY for pointy that out!
Youtube has barely been working for me lately so hard to replay for a good look http://home.surfree.com/~pauld/POUT.gif

1976 Buick Skyhawk Not a great car but a great song that screams mid 1970s.

Worst car commercials are those horrid Kia ones with the dancing rats. I'm not even going to post it.
