I was just on the web looking at car ads from the 60s through 80s and this one ad from Mazda stuck out to me as one of the coolest I've ever seen. Its for the RX-3SP. What is your favorite car ad? New or old.

Japanese 80s/90s gave some great ads. Things were so corny back then.

Indeed, but Dan Gurney and a Celica Supra....

Audi should just stop making cars and concentrate on advertisements.

I remember "The Cog" from Honda. Honda ran a campaign with a local newspaper where they gave you a small magazine depicting the many virtues of the the current Accord and they also gave you a DVD with this ad in it. I think I still have somewhere at home.
loved this one for the tune ... it just got stuck in there.
You'll be humming it later :)

By the way, thanks for posting that ad, my dad used to have a RX-3.
ok, not a favourite, but oddly this one came across my fb wall :)
WHAT THE **** ?? If anyone can explain this then I'm not sure I want to know !!!

ASIDE: I do get annoyed with these "banned" titles. Many of them - remember all the VW ones - were never intended to be broadcast and were meant to be viral and push the envelope and be a bit of fun. So calling them "banned" is just crass sensationalism ... my 2c worth :)

No problem. Its a really cool car
I came across this today and love the simplicity.
Wow, what an old thread haha!
Ass engined cars are usually cool huh?
Honda still has cool ads.

The Tatra ad is brilliant.
The Japanese ones good at getting tears on your eyes.
I can't recall a good car ad lately. Even Audi, that brilliant Ad Agency which occasionally makes cars, is faltering lately.

Nothing wrong with that I think haha.

They'll sell dozens, I tell ya! Dozens!
Oh nothing wrong with that indeed, and every Jalopnik-type is enthused about the idea of having an Avant RS on US soil, but I doubt it will be very successful.
I saw a Jaguar XF Sportbrake yesterday; your argument is invalid.

They'll sell so few of them demand would be high I assume. They won't have any problem moving them.
[quote=f6fhellcat13;1018986]I saw a Jaguar XF Sportbrake yesterday; your argument is invalid.[/quote]
They sold 1 unit?!
[quote=f6fhellcat13;1018986]I saw a Jaguar XF Sportbrake yesterday; your argument is invalid.[/quote]
Well you one more XF Sportbrake than I did yesterday or today...
Although I did get to see a Mk1 XF saloon...
It would have to be the VW ad where a guy in the parking lot who has fallen in love with a car sees a couple pointing at the car - they want the same car. When they start walking towards the car, the man leans down and licks to door handle as if to claim it. "MINE!"
