Car Commercials, the good, the bad, and the annoying!

Anybody seen the commercial of a BMW station wagon suv tearing up a beach, sand flying? What kind of mentality is that? Its been running for a while. Apparently appeals to "some" segment of potential buyers.

Saw a black Kia Soul the other day with a big silver decal that read "HamSTAR" on the side!

Seeing how BMW posts amazing sales volumes term after term, it must appeal to a universal segment...

That's amusing. I have to admit the theme has worked, the local screamer ad Kia dealer even refers to it as "the hamster car" in TV spots.

I don't watch enough for that.

That ILX is very unpretty too, reminds me of a stretched Versa sedan - and few cars are as boring and awkward as that. Who is going to buy it when a TSX appears superior for virtually the same money?
