Well, first the station wagon wasn't cool, then the minivan. My guess is the SUV is next. It's already frowned upon in green circles. Hummers here in the DC area are vandalized regularly.

Hey, a Miata and a minivan. You ARE secure in your masculinity! The only was you could be more so would be to add a VW new Beetle convertible to the collection....

What can I say? I choose the best cars for me, not the ones that would make other people happy.

And a wise man you are for such a move. Heck, I divide my between a minivan (Odyssey) and a Celica convertible. The Celica would have been a Miata but I needed something that can haul a guitar and a little equipment around and I did want a back seat - just beg enough to pop kids in. They love it.
 
Meanwhile, back to commercials, who the heck is teh bozo that came up with the new GM ads? The ones that say something to the effect of "from GM. Surprised?" to me they are saying that it's even surprising to them that GM can put out a good product. This doesn't seem to me to be the message they want out there.

I think they're kind of stupid because my answer is "No, I'm not surprised" because I'm extremely happy with my GM vehicles. The ads are aimed at others who don't feel the way I do.

SuperBowl Ads by ateixeira

We never discussed these. Which ones did you like?
 
Hyundai had the one with the execs from Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus grumbling their name for having won the North American Car of the Year. It was decent.
 
My favorite was Audi's, the one with Jason Statham.
 
He's in the 70s and drives off in a Benz as his runaway car. Then it flashes to the 80s and he hops in a BMW. Next is the 90s, and he sees a Lexus ES and just grunts and doesn't drive it at all (HYSTERICAL). Then it finally flashes to present day and he hops in an A4, IIRC, to continue his getaway.
 
Funny, amusing, showed the product, acknowledges automotive history. Brilliant.
 
Any other favorites?

That poor W108, gets hit by an aircraft carrier
 
But that's a very amusing ad, yes.
