Mine is Jag. Between this and MB response ad, they have had some good ones.

Has to be Toyota. With lines like "it feels really grounded... to the ground," how does any other commercial even compare?

I like the old beetle add where they were trying to smash the "bug" but it kept on going.

This isn't it:

I really dislike the commercials that sell themselves short:

"Wow, this is a Ford!!"

Really!? In other words: We normally make crap, but look what we have now!

I'm liking the Ron Burgundy Dodge ads right now.

This Toyota commercial with the "jackpot" is pretty funny. Actually, the lady's reaction to the man at the end is priceless.

This Pepsi/Camaro prank was pretty funny too, even though it wasn't really a TV commercial:

Subaru's "Dog tested, dog approved" series always makes us laugh.

My current favorite is the tow truck operator that's never hooked an Audi quattro stuck in the snow and it haunts him.

Quattrooooooooo!!

Can't explain why. I think they ran them few years ago also. Sorry no linky.

That requires a car company to produce a vehicle I readily want to buy. Sadly, they all suck.

I think they might have had to clean that seat off between takes.

i can't even think of any current car commercials..

i did like it a few years back when Chevy and Ford were going at each other in their commercials: the Ford one where the ford is going to pull out the Chevy that is stuck in the mud and the one guy comments that it sank in "like a rock"... then Chevy came back a while later making fun of the goofy little step and handle built into the tailgate that Ford owners need to get into the back of their trucks..

The best advertisement I've seen in ages was right here @ GRM: No fluff, just the reasons why I should care: more HP, ligher. I clicked that one, and I'm not even in the market for a spec racer.

The last time an ad grabbed me emotionally was the 2011 Superbowl ad from Jeep:
http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/10/video-first-2011-jeep-grand-cherokee-commercial-released/
The still from that ad series hangs - framed - in my garage, and at work on the wall in the office, because I believe what it says:
(Trying to fabricate my own car from scratch has changed who I am and what I view as possible in this world. I can accomplish a hell of a lot more than most people think I can.)

And, of course, this:

Dodge used Paul Harvey's "God Made a Farmer" for a Super Bowl ad last year.

Only one I can seem to remember (and honestly it takes some thinking to remember which car company it even was...) is the Scion commercial with Lady Gaga's "Applause" and the giant hamster boy band trying to get into shape. Always made SWMBO and I laugh.

I miss the days of cheesy promotional video advertising. Saab was the king of them.
