But notice how Toyota advertises 100x as much and doesn't sell that many more cars. I hate Toyota ad campaigns. Prolly will never buy one for that reason.

I just saw a brand new 2003 accord ex sedan and i think it looks good the only thing i would change is make the grille more like the old syle wider(vertically) but I was pleasantly surprised from the pictures the car looks hideous but when I saw it in person I was like whoa
thats a new accord


IMO it looks better than the current gen altima overall (front < altima, rear > altima)

have not seen the ads though
I like most Nissan ads though and VW adds also

the worst are the KIA ads

most domestic car companies ads are bland so are toyota
hyundai (sp?) are not bad but the cars suck

Saw the 2003 Accord on the dealer lot and I like the look of them. I think that they are a good improvement over the last generation. In my opinion, the sedan looks more sporty than previous generations. I love the interior.

EDIT: If there is a new ad that I can not stand is the new VW commercial with the fish tank in the back. I was so tired of seeing that commercial Sunday. The commercial is just stupid.

Hot as bad as Toyota with Arliss and those stupid ones with the TV guy. Ford ads suck too. I hate rah rah type ads.

Give me a VW ad any day.

Just not the Fish Tank ad. They dropped the ball on that one.

True.

I saw that and me being a tropical fish fan I know there is no way those 2 people can lift a big fishtank like that together unless there was practically no water in the tank.

Nissan used to have the best ads. I really loved the old 300zx commercial with the Barbie :)

lol, that one rocked. I talked to the guy who made that RC car. He is on one of the RC forums, cant remember which, though. He has a small website that talks about that car. Its a Tamiya body, IIRC.

Was it Nissan or Mitsubishi that had the commercial with the birds that that were preparing for a "bombing run"? That one was great too.

Mitsubishi Eclipse and VW ads are the best IMHO.
