Great car commericals

Once in a while, among the boring or stupid car commercials that are aired each year, there is a gem or two that are memorable. One of my favorites is this 5 series (E39) commercial from a few years ago.

It got me thinking. What are the greatest car commercials ever. Please feel free to add your top pick.

Can't necessarily say it's my "favorite", but it's something I remember over 30 years later while reading a thread about great car commercials:

This is my all time favorite. I think it's possibly the best BMW commercial ever. I think they ought to edit the F30 into it and keep using it.

One of the best I have seen in recent years, a bit of old and new mixed together...

This is an amazing video. That bit where the car goes over the helicopter reminds me of the "watch the birdie" scene in Top Gun.

Probably my favorite car ad (writing wise). I should remake this with my F30.

Thanks to those who responded to my post. These car commercials are amazing.

In my original post on this thread I did not put in the Youtube link correctly. I see all of you had the video ready to play. I see there is a Youtube choice when posting. I'll try now on the M5 commercial I posted and see if works.

Edit: I can't figure out how to display the video screen with the start arrow instead of just the link. Help?

This one is one of my all time favorites as far as creativity is concerned:



This was an ad for the euro spec'd Honda Accord (otherwise known as the Acura TSX here in the states).

Also, this ad is a new one from Mazda that I really like.

Just copy and paste the link, that's all you have to do.

That was awesome. Completely expected some corny view of an M5 passing the land speed record vehicle but the way they did that was brilliant!

That Honda commercial is great. I especially liked the windshield wipers army crawling across the floor. Very creative overall.

Yes. Car commercials come and go. This is one that stuck in my mind years later.
