Car TV Commercial RANT!!!

[GTaudiophile]

I just turned on the TV during a Pontiac ad and they did something that just about all manufacturers do in their ads, something that really gets on my nerves! Does anyone else hate it when during a car ad, whilst discussing how much power and how sporty the car is, they show the driver's hand shifting the AUTOMATIC gear-selector down as if in a downshift, then show the rev-needle approaching redline? They are automatics for crying out! They're trying to convey the sportiness of a manual. BMW is the only manufacturer I know of that uses real MANUAL trannies in their ads with pride.

End of rant.

I hate when the dealer commercials come on at 2x the sound level of the show.

I hate car commericials that dont make you want to go out and buy the car that instant. Ford does a lot of those... they're like, COME TO YOUR METRO DETROIT FORD DEALER NOW, AND GET A FORD!!!

ugh...

I like the appealing ones...

like that lincoln one where the car is on a bridge of a water, and there are waves forming on each side representing the speed and power of the car... metaphorically of course.
