Your favorite TV car commercials?

Those are kinda neat, the first time I say the tree one, I was a little unnerved.
Gotta love those WRX commercials, though

Good news for my import dealership!!!

I just found out that the 4 eastern Canadian provinces (including New Brunswick, where I live) have no, zero, zippo, 0 emission regulations. Woohoo! I can import Skylines, old WRX's, Elises, etc. without having to worry about emissions, at least for eastern Canadian customers!!! Yipee!

I can't think of any commercials that make me want the car. Mazda commercials with the Miata are good, but I think it's only because I love miatas. Maybe when some RX-8 commercials hit the air.

My little girl loves those commercials. She kind of dances to the zoom zoom

Hey, heep, do you know about crash testing?? That is perhaps the biggest hurdle, as you could put on 50 cats for the test, then remove them.
Good to hear you're making progress!!

who would buy skylines and elises in new brunswick?
Put the dealership in the T dot (t.o..... toronto)

[Heep]

I would, rich people here might.

The reason I was saying I'd open it here is because we have no emissions regulations. Maybe I should start up a continent wide distribution program, so that you can buy a, say, Peugeot 206 over the internet and I can ship it to you, with any additional emissions or other equipment installed based on where you live.

Pathfinder: "Not that you would, but you could" . . . downhill skiing in the Path . . . gotta love it!

Maxima: "Cars like it: 0" . . .

I like the Benz commercials. The best one is when the E320 goes through the car wash, and the parents cover the kids eyes.

WRX's set of 2 or 3 "Rally Bred" spots.
The Lexus IS "Rally" commercial was really good, too, but I don't think it's quite setup for that yet.
The new BMW spots featuring the flicks on BMWFilms.com, which are great commercials in themselves.

VW gets the award for funniest, by far.:silly2:

Oh yah,I like the maxima commercial when he drives up to the sunset, wathches it, then ddrives down the road to watch it again.

Heep, you should actually consider the dealership thing in like 10 Years. I'd sell my house (If I got one) to get a TVR. You could easily get customer to buy little Euro-econo boxes.

How about this Kawasaki commercial?

You know the new one with a guy in the hospital . . . he puts the blood pressure cuff around his neck and pumps it up, then tries to use the defibrillator (that thing that jumpstarts half-dead people) on himself . . .

All in an attempt to imitate the rush he felt riding his Kawasaki . . .

[Heep]

Porsche:

That's what I was thinking. I'm certainly not gonna have too much luck with importing exotics only. I'd make most of my money off of Peugeot 206's and VW Lupo's and stuff.

Oh yeah! Anyone see this Pennzoil commercial?

It starts with a guy in a sauna wearing only a towel. Two big men in labcoats run in and grab him by his arms while he shreiks "You got the wrong guy!" They toss him onto a treadmill and shove a breathing tube into his mouth, while a lady with a control box that has buttons for STOP and GO starts the treadmill and stops it suddenly. The guy stumbles and as he stands back up she starts it again. Stop, start, stop, start. The poor guy collapses and rolls off the treadmill as the voiceover comes up: "This is what you do to your car everyday. Stop. Go. Pennzoil."

I freakin' died when I first saw it!
