Default Favourite Car Television Commercial
The FG TV ads got me thinking about my favourite ads for cars

These are mine...

Subaru NZ - Surf to Summit - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SorhQUayuWY

Jaguar XF - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3yy8g1_PbA

BA Falcon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNOY1...eature=related


So what is everyone's favourite TV ads for cars, list your top 3 (domestic ads only, no overseas stuff) include video if possible

Some of the retro adds bring a smile to my face:

Hey Charger !

Old ford adds.

"New Cortina 6 with power bulge bonnet", i wondered where the BA got it from.

The best Aussie ad ever was the Holden Ute ad.

The XA Hardtop ad wasn't too bad (check out the GT at the end with a set of fat ROH wheels).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3WAboj5zBo

Whilst technically not a TV ad, this video from FPV is pretty good,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS67N6gFAGw

Who can forget that ALL Australians love football, meatpies, kangaroos and of course Holden cars?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3IDGUA2HmU

By the time 80's rolled around all the LSD the Holden marketing department had taken over the years had finally caught up with them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1JibNhvvNY

Oh! Incase you didn't know, Galant gets around!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy1-VirTnpc

How about it baby? You and I and Gemini?

Jarno Trulli or Timo Glock should pull up in a TF108.

"551 kW, 2.4L V8. Penske dampers.".


TRD Hilux owner = tail between the legs.

I used to love this add from Mitsubishi as I feel they captured what Mitsubishi wanted to get over to the respective buying public on a feel good (warm and fuzzy) level that appealed to a fairly large broad base. I remember at the time that a lot of people liked the ad and I think that the song was also relaunched on the strength of that ad as well.

Some of the old Castrol adds from the early seventies were quite good. Remember vision of a Charger slide through a corner in slow mo.
