When I first saw this Mustang commercial in 2005,
I was floored, I had no idea what it was about
beforehand. Some call this the best car commercial
ever made.

Not a "car" commercial per se, but ... well, just look:

No..no, fellas, THIS is THE BEST - and truest - car Commercial of ALL TIME!

Trust me, kiddies....rated 'R' at a minimum....

You are SOLD, m*****f*****!

Unquestionably Baltimore filthiest used car dealership......gotta see it, you'll get it...

I don't recall seeing the Mustang / McQueen commercial back
then. But it is a good one.

I like this one:

My favorite was the little Darth Vader kid from a recent Super Bowl who thought he started the car with, "The Force," when his parents used the keyless ignition.

The commercial may not have accomplished its intended purpose, however, as I have absolutely no recollection of who the car manufacturer was.

One of my favorites is a series of "films" BMW commissioned in the early 2000's. The best, IMO, being The Star, directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Clive Owen and Madonna. It takes a few minutes before the action starts, but I think it's worth it, and the ending is pretty funny.

We in the car sales industry usually get to see the best from around the country, and around the world. The "badger" commercials are among the very best. Here is one example, there are probably a dozen or so variations:

I love commercials by Mercedes Benz.
Sometimes the car is not even the main focus.
Like these two:

In the first the car doesn't appear until 1:40...
SLK 250....강남스타일

:/ Sorry, I had to. (Psy is at number two on the Hot 100 this week)

OK! seriously though...
in this one, you can barely even see the car...
E CLASS

Never apologize for putting up the Psy video! I had just been watching it right before coming over to this site! My son had told me about it and I was just pointing out to him how it was a satire. I think it's hilarious. And catchy.

The car is pretty hot, but it needs the yellow suit to make it awesome.

Just saw a Volvo commercial where some guy bought
a new one in 1966 and he's still driving it with over
3,000,000 miles on it. What they don't mention is how
many times the engine has been rebuilt.

They'll find out in 3 months it was a hoax, its 1mil, not 3.
Thats 63,000 miles every year since he bought it. He'd
be living in the damn thing. Does this car look like
its got 3mil miles on it?

(shrug) - 120 mile daily commute will put some decent miles on a car, and it's had 2 engine rebuilds. The Ship of Thesues/Trigger's Broom springs to mind, for sure.
