What car commercials really do a great job of making you want their car? What ones do you hate?

Good ones:
Subaru Impreza WRX commercials
Any Nissan commercial with sideways moving cars
Audi TT commercials
Volkswagen commercials (guy tackling the cart, GTI falling from the tree, guy washing neighbours Passat, etc..)

Bad ones:
Mazda Zoom Zoom commercials
Ford Windstar ("We designed this vehicle for absolute safety as you tug around no one but yourself in a uselessly large gas guzzler and vision blocker.")

Audi has a good one with the "form" morphing into performance and I like Porsche's "Even heaven has it's moments of hell" With the guy at the tracks and the train is going backwards.l

The new WRX commercial. WOW! I could watch that till my brain rotted and oozed out my right ear. And I did mean X, the z is right beside.

I hope you meant "WRX". That's not even the half of it though, if you really like it, learn about the STi model, it has 275hp, a racing wheel, seats and brakes.

Europe has all different commercials. We don't even have Renault over here, just the old crappy 80' ones like the Alliance and Le Car (R5). They have some nice cars now though.

I'm hoping to someday own a dealership, but I plan to sell cars that are not normally sold here, mostly the European ones like Alfa, Peugeot, etc. Also some Jap cars that aren't sold here like Skylines and Crowns, etc.

If you do that, I will be a repeat customer!
Anyway, many European cars don't make it here in any way.
Canada doesn't get everything the States get and vice-versa. We are luck enough to still have Lada. Oh yeaa.

My favorite commercial is fot the WRX. Everytime its on I run to the TV (I'm serious, my family thinks I'm nuts). I love all the aural and visual excitement. Ohh honey!
I also like some Audi commercials, they emphasize drivng, but they aren't as visceral as the WRX commercials.
I want to see that M5 commercial.
I hate Porsche commercials (they are quiet and stupid, no overpowering emotion, nothing)

Heep, I will also be a repeat customer, it's too bad that we can't have the same cars worldwide.

You just got yourself another customer Heep. I've always wanted a skyline.

The commercial that does it for me is the GTI commercials.
