For anyone that hasnt seen them yet. I’m also noticing how commercials and movie trailer formats have completely changed due to the internet and the 5 second YouTube no-skip. Honestly, content creators should have a say with the ads since these Alfa Romeo spots are likely to get people sticking around for the full ad.

I don’t know how far out of the loop I am here, but I have to admit, I had to look up whether the “CAR” button was a real thing or not. Apparently it is, because I found another picture of it.

Unfortunately searching for Audi CAR button isn’t specific enough for me to get anywhere in figuring out what tha t button does . Anybody know?

I appreciate these commercials not only because they’re Alfa commercials but because it shows off how bland and mundane the big three Germans have become.

It takes you to the vehicle settings in the MMI system.

How about that. “Multi Media Interface”... I’m glad my car doesn’t require me to learn how to navigate a bunch of menus.

I like the sassiness of it. Feels pretty honest too.

Like they're not trying to actually convince you these people aren't scripted actors, and that's fine.

Pretty funny. Only problem I see is Alfa Romeo is telling the audience that these three guys are the types of people who want and will buy a Guilia.

Okay, this made me smile. And commercials rarely do that to me, these days. Thanks for the share.
