What Is Your Favorite Car Commercial?

Just because car commercials have the specific goal of promoting a car  doesn’t mean that they can’t be funny or enjoyable to watch. In fact, it’s often things like humor—whether intestinal or accidental—that make some car commercials more memorable than others.

Forum user wspohn recently started a thread focusing on this topic. Join the conversation over on the “Best Car Commercial?” thread, and make sure to add your favorite, even if it’s an ad for something else that just so happens to feature a car.

Classic. Mostly because I loved Hum back in the day. Went to a couple of their shows. Fantastic band that never got polished enough to go mainstream and moved on to other things.

Then suddenly they show up in a Cadillac commercial twenty years later. At that point, I knew my generation had at least conquered General Motors from the inside.

Cool fact: Hum never sold enough albums to pay Sony back for their advance, but Sony shared the royalty revenue for that commercial with the band anyway.

There is only one option: With the Camry Sport Edition, you'll feel grounded to the ground.

My favorite goes back, I think, to the 1950s.  It is particularly appropriate this week.

Did you ever wonder how the man who drives the snowplow gets to the snowplow?  This man drives a Volkswagen [original beetle].
