I always liked Joe Isuzu.

There was also a Porsche ad from the late 70's or early 80's that I looked for on YouTube but never found. Guy and girl are walking through the parking lot.
She says, "You never told me you had a Porsche".
He says, "You never asked".
Somehow, she gets the keys, gets into the drivers seat and proceeds to tear off a hot lap through a winding mountain road.
She pulls to a stop and he says, "You never told me you knew how to drive".
She says, "You never asked".
I was a little kid, but that's when I learned to pronounce "Por-sche".

The video version was great, too.....I can't find it, though
Joe Isuzu's 'comeback' reel was shown at a couple of the Isuzu meet n' greets I went to, man it was funny! It showed him laying on the bed critiquing car commercials and his wife (off camera) said 'Yeah, I know, they stink and you could do it better' and the face he made was priceless!
The 'comeback' ad (not the vid we saw but still funny): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnfAha9HEzE

The George Washington Dodge Challenger commercial:

The debut of the Chevy Astro. Not a great commercial, but it sticks in my head as a childhood memory.

Somebody already beat me to "Unpimp Your Ride". So, here's some other VW Ads..
Use your power wisely:

Klinen GTI I:

Sometimes, the journey is more important than the destination:

Klinen GTI II was supposed to be the ad that introduced the 16v, but I can't find a vid!
The original "how does the snowplow driver get to the snowplow?" (wow, 1964! I never knew.):

One of the reasons a young person should own a 2-seater, regardless of how pitiful the performance numbers are:

Not a brand fanboi, but two really nail the brand for me. This one was pretty much my biography.
911
The other one is just sort of neat:
Boxster
I still lust for one of these:
Best Mustang commercial ever
and "clearly professional driver on closed course"
One of my favorites of all time is - "Jeep, 66 years and still having fun."
