I'd seriously prefer snuggie and chopslap infomercials over these ads, dear god. What a terrible car and terrible ad campaign.

Literally, I have never seen a good car commercial, besides the Chrystler one that aired during the superbowl with eminem (I got chills)

Car manufacturers and dealerships either seem to have the kiss of death when it comes to commercials. They are always shitty, look like they are made with a hanheld camera, and don't know what tripods are, and are way to overplayed - so even if they were remotely well made, they suck after about 5 airings. I could make better car commercials than 80% of them.

I agree, there are not many commercials that I don't prefer over car commercials. They're almost all exactly the same, and wayyy too many of them.

Maybe you just need a better tv? Ive never seen a car commercial that has looked like it was filmed with a handheld, and the shots are never shaky.. Sure they all look the same and are always boring, but really dude, everything you said is incorrect.

I did use a bit of hyperbole, but for the most part I believe it's pretty on target.

Up here in Utah there is a local dealership that has a commercial where it is literally just a camera following the owner's daughter around, with a bland narrator. At one point, she runs away, and the camera follows her, sped up to 175%. If I knew the name, I'd post a link. That is what I'm referring to. Some are shaky, probably not in bigger communities, but in small towns they are.

ohhhh, k we are thinking of different car commercial types. I was talking about like the commercials from the companies themselves, not the dealership ones. In that case you care correct, haha.
