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?

Agreed. In any case, the OP is just trolling- as usual...

Oh, God, some of those commercials are just painful to watch, lol, but still funny all the same

Is he trolling? Have you seen what X6 ads are like? Check some out...

Cheesy music...and look how he's dressed. Inseam is about half a foot too short. Sort of like the vehicle, i.e. hatchback on stilts.
 
Or this one:

I think they stick their heads out the window because there's no head room inside.
 
CNET's Cooley correctly calls it "More a fashion than automotive purchase" with "stingy...NO visibility".

The vehicle doesn't make much sense (you could get an M3 coupe and an X5 for that sort of money), so no surprise the commercials don't either.
