For marketing class we have the assignment to find our favorite commercial to present and to explain the making and thinking behind the ad. I have already chosen four of my favorite commercials which are organised in no particular order, but I would like Oppo to chime in with suggestions as I am sure I will be missing some. Choosing only one of them will be quite the task.
My first choice is the Volkswagen ad “Night Drive”campaign for the MK5 Golf. This isn’t very exciting, but the atmosphere and the words said ring many bells to me as a car enthusiast. “When was the last time you just went for a drive?”, magnificent.
My second choice is the Audi RS3 Birth. This ad was extremely eye opening to me, I wouldn’t call it informative or beautiful but damn intriguing. This is my top choice from these four for now.
The next one is more of a short film than an actual commercial. This little film from Porsche portrays my exact feelings when I was a kid and wanted to experience cars. The dialogues and the complete production makes it very enjoyable as well.
The last one is from Mercedes, with Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher. Very funny, entertaining and original. AMG V8 noises are just icing on the cake.
Any suggestions?

k, never post the car birthing thing again. My votes
or less directly as an ad, but one of the best things ever made for automotive promotion

There was a wonderful Audi ad that played during LeMans and other races, with images and video covering the company’s history, and the whole message was rhymed. It’s my all time favorite car commercial. Kinja won’t let me link it on mobile, but it’s called ”Couldn’t be done.” Worth looking up.

Great ads, hadn’t seen either of them until now.

maybe not the biggest fan of the car, but it is very well directed.
this is made from Chiat/Day, the guys who did a ton of the Apple commercials.

They're a bit long, but I'd say the BMW films from the 2000s are some of my favourites. The Clive Owen ones

Plymouth Turismo Duster. 1985. My 2nd-favorite auto ad.
My favorite is the Volkswagen Cabrio ad from 1999 using “Pink Moon” by Nick Drake.

Guaranteed to make $kaycog have a crisis in less time than it takes to get the car to 60mph.

Still my favorite. Old Porsches, new Porsches, and a good song....

I have always liked this Audi A6 commercial:
Inspired by Hitchcock’s The Birds, and also pokes fun at BMW

Pink Moon is one of my definite favourites. Having owned a Cabrio I relate too much to it.

Hadn’t seen this one before, I love it when car companies fight each other through ads.

Right? It’s funny that you made this post today, because coincidentally I had just been reminded of that SLS video not long before I saw this post. Perfect timing.

this one from Peugeot?

Ford also had some pretty funny ads for the Ka (or was it the Sport Ka?) but I’m getting ready for work so unable to hunt them down right now.

They have already showed us the Honda’s cog ad, its great.

My two favorites may be slightly biased. Slightly.
On a side note, hello Vicente. I hope all is well.

Tears. I get tears. I learned to drive stick on my dad’s C3. He bought it from a college kid who needed money for tuition having no idea the mods that kid made. The torque that modded L-82 put out could pull 4th gear over the top and I drove that thing like a felon on his way home from work. God I miss that thing.
I will have another Vette. It’s just a matter of time.

Well it’s a bit late now but IMO the best one recently is Mazda’s “Driving Matters.” Talk about a powerful message to us gearheads.

Bam. Only Subaru would think to film the ad using the car.
And you have to admit Chrysler’s been absolutely on fire with their marketing department these last few years.
And for sheer humor here’s a guy getting a lap dance from a Viper:
Ooh also can’t forget this:

I am amazed by how good each Chrysler commercial is, I have watched more than once that one just for enjoyment.

Also I don’t quite remember how I got to this post but here I am 6 months late to the party.
