My #1 favorite - LOVE it. So damn awesome.

Close runner-up... Can' wait 'til the 2011 is a few years old and affordable!

And this one, just because it's awesome:

I like this one, but I'd like it more if the song ditched the repetitive "come on" sample.

This one's my favorite car ad in a LOOOONG time. Have I mentioned how much I love GM lately? Yeah, I should do that. I love GM.

The Lexus one is cool...too bad it's advertising such a stupid product.

I like them all. The Kia one is fun, the Lexus one is badass (I know MoD, I hate them too), and the Vette one is just awesome. :D

The Kia one hits it's target demographic right on the head. IB4that'sracist

Hopefully people can get past the Kia name and start buying these things. They aren't bad looking (imo) and I haven't heard any bad things about quality so it's a winner in my book.

The Kia Soul is actually a pretty sweet car. My friend's wife just bought one. For 14k, I'm amazed at what she got.

Are you talking about the guy speaking in the commercial? Do you really think that's Dexter?

I like the new Grand Cherokee commercial until I remember that Chrsyler is now owned by Italians.

I appended the new Grand Cherokee ad to the end of my Chrysler presentation. Good stuff, great imagery. I'm curious what agency did it.

Ignoring that I'd never trade a running 1st or 2nd gen Forester for one of the s*** new ones...

The Love Subaru campaign is so very Subaru.

Chalk up another good one to the Corvette guys:

I actually love this commercial, it gets the point across in a simple way, and honestly of all the American Muscle that is out today the Challenfer is by far my far with the new Mustang a very close second..

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAX550biM7c[/youtube]
It's actually cooler than the new Mustang GT commercial

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsH8QoVOrRM[/youtube]
Sure they are only making 500 and those are already sold, but it's a cool car and it can break a champagne glass with it's exhaust note...

Not a fan, but it get's point across

I'd wager someone that's done beer commercials for.

I figured it was either for beer or jeans before they show off the jeep when I first saw it

I HATE this ad. Not because it's a Lexus, and not because I think the LFA is a joke. Or because I think the exhaust note they're showcasing is crap. But because it's fake. The car does NOT break a champagne glass with its exhaust note. It just revs, and then they show slow-motion footage of a glass shattering with FAKE SOUND EFFECTS overdubbed. It's fake.

It's also completely typical Lexus. Which just makes me hate the brand even more.

^ THIS.

Besides, for that kind of $$$, I want to see what the car can DO, not how weak the exhaust sounds (and it DOES sound weak).

The 'vette exhaust note > the LAF or whatever the hell that thing is.

LAF engine note > Corvette

I'd rather hear that sexy high revving v10 then the Corvette, but I love IRL...
