The rear wheel/tires feel really loose on F-Type.
It's a beautiful machine thanks to Ian Callum, but it's not a great driver - I bet that car oversteers A LOT. It feels like there's no weight on the rear tires and the car would inadvertently go into a drift. No thank you. And most F Type models have sliding brake calipers. No thank you, no thank you, no thank you! It's a good looking car - and it sounds good too!
Favorite Car Ad
I remember when this first aired and it still gets to me What's your Favorite Car TV Ad? ...
Great call, Sal!
I absolutely remember and admire this commercial! Classic all the way.
Yes, this one is memorable....
a genuine bit of intellectual artistry.... Cheers Mike, Filip
I'm gonna post this one in a separate thread as well.
It's my favorite ad of all time ....
It's the only advertisement....
That, by now, I have deliberately seen more than a thousand times ....
Not a commercial, but what about Rendezvous, the drive across Paris in the early morning
I was shown this film by Briggs Cunningham in his auto museum near Irvine, California. It was around 1980, 4 years after the (rumored underground) movie surfaced. Briggs had a 35mm copy of the original, and invited a few of us to watch it. We were standin...
The video didn't embed properly.
It doesn't want to play! By the way, the director of the Shell commercial is a Frenchman, I am simply forgetting his actual name ....
The Rendezvous Movie is an all time classic 😁👌🏻
Lelouche was arrested in the cinema when it aired for the first time. Filmed in a Mercedes, with the Ferrari soundtrack added later
I remember perhaps just three
My all time favourite is easily that Peugeot 206. No idea when it was made (late 90's?), anyone know when that specific model hit the streets? youtu.be
I always liked the RS4 B7 adverts. Power is nothing without control.
There was also an advert for the VW Lupo where a baby jumps out of hospital. That was a haunting advert.
Indeed - acceleration times have gotten slightly bonkers over the years 😁
If I think that my large estate accelerates faster than most supercars 10 years ago it just feels ludicrous…
Yep, seen this one, too 😊
But earlier today for the first time - have not seen any of them when the car was on sale…
Porsche always had some cool adds back in the days
And I remember a television add about the Fiat Panda . https://youtu.be/5kgFIv__S1s?si=6yrJc0BMePx_2xAF (Sorry but its in dutch)
Different style but super funny…
The Kia Soul Hamster campaign was loads of fun and truly memorable: https://youtu.be/Lw82Z5HaVC8?si=b1xbqpyB1OVjHtaj https://youtu.be/kpGfdUFr_fI?si=HA74HJEZIgP3A23_
I really like yours!
Yours pulls on both left side and right side of the brain; it appeals to the emotional side and to the technical side. While I consider myself technically focused, I do really like this advertisement. Not just because of the beautiful ladies adorning the ...

Oui oui. V8 version, RWD version, in USA, the year it came out.
It was quite memorable how surprisingly bad it was.
Most people won't drive it fast...
Most people won't drive it fast. Most people won't take turns fast. But I feel this one was so bad, that even the casual drivers who come from a Mercedes or BMW product would notice something in the back doesn't feel quite right.
BMW’s The Hire
These short films were so great. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched Clive Owen driving Madonna around in an E39 M5. Thanks, Brian
Oh! That's a good one!
Almost all of those were so good! And Guy Ritchie's with Madonna as well as John Frankenheimer's with Tomas Milan were the ones that I remember most!
