The Coolest Car Commercial Ever
 
This is a really cool car commercial. I loved the KA commercials with the cat and the pigeon, but I think this beats them.

I just came across this in case some of you have already seen it.

You should probably right-click on the link and save the file before running it because it's coming from the UK. This will make it run more smoothly.

Respectfully, although the Citroen commercial /was/ cool, actually, the link below will lead you to the coolest car commercial ever.

Actually I saw that commercial before, and while it's very amusing, I still think the robot car was cooler.

I had never seen either, and both rocked. I judge a great commercial by how how long it takes me to get to the point where I am so sick of it that the second I know it's coming on, I change the channel, risking missing the show I was watching coming back on. It would be awhile for either one of these...

Anyone know where I can find that one VW commercial (failry recent) with Steve McQueen in it? I've looked all over and can't find anything about it. I'm a huge fan of his BTW, "The Great Escape", "Bullitt", "Magnificent Seven"

This guy has a pretty extensive ad collection. Try there.

I believe you're thinking of the new Mustang commercial. Go here and select Cornfield.

I saw the same kind of setup on PBS, only it wasn't car parts and it was a lot longer. Much cooler than dominoes.

The commercial is cool enough. But I just can't help feeling that it's not right to use the digital images of these dead actors to hawk goods.

We just borrowed a video like that. It was much longer but moved a lot slower... lots of chemical reaction fires and stuff. The kids dug it.

I see your point, but come on, it's Steve McQueen and a Ford Mustang. They were practically bred for each other.

Ah, but what if is were one of the many crappy mustangs built between the real cars? Seriously though, do you think John Wayne would've wanted his image selling beer now when he didn't do it then? :yelgreedy

Have you seen the Ford GT commercial? One of my favorites, filmed at Thunderhill in CA. The link is at the bottom of the page:

BTW- I'm looking for the Porsche Cayenne commercial with the guy in the motorhome. Anyone know of a link?

Radar 01-18-2005 11:41 PM

Actually this is also one of my favorite car commercials. :D
