Sunday Ads special: SuperBowl XLIII
Jason prefers Audis anyway... First of all congrats to the Steelers for their victory, and to the Cardinals for a fantastic game. Then, the important stuff: the ads. In today’s economy, a lot of the big car manufacturers pulled out or didn’t go all the way to make a real “SuperBowl Ad”. Thankfully, Hyundai, Audi and Bridgestone gave us some good commercial to talk about and share with friends. The Chase Let start with Audi, who used their longtime association... Read More
Sunday Ads: a new direction for Kia
Kia TV ads used to be funny and a bit over-the-top, like the one with a salesman of the brand reenacting the famous danse scene frome Flashdance. But they got some attention. Now Kia Motors America’s marketing director, Tim Chaney, was quoted by AdAge saying: “We don’t want to spend a good chunk of our time in a 30-second spot trying to entertain people.” Hum.

New Porsche commercial: Bloodlines
Autoblog recently featured the first Porsche TV commercial in years and since it’s pretty well done, we thought it should be here too.

Citroën C4 Transformers commercials
digg_url = \\\\\\\\'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/01/09/citroen-c4-transformers-commercials/\\\\\'\\\; Years before Transformers was released (maybe even before the project started), French car manufacturer Citroën blew people’s mind with a TV commercial showing their new model, the C4, transforming into a robot and break dancing before peacefully returning to it’s parking spot.
