Ok, seriously, I don’t know what is wrong with me. Lately, I have really been drawn to the red triangle…Pontiac. Really? The G8 is hot. The Solstice Coupe is gorgeous in a manly way. And their commercials have kicked ass…how did a brand go from “driving excitement” to this?
I wrote about Spy Hunter a few weeks ago…well this weekend I was watching the Final Four (which is a story in itself, because I hate watching sports) and another excellent one came on.
This one is the G8 vs the BMW 5 series. It’s actually pretty damn funny. They take blatant stabs at BMW and BMW owners. But let’s be realistic, most people that would be shopping these will go BMW for the status that the Bavarian brings. It’s hard to begin rationalizing autos over the $40k price point.
Watch the video a few times, there is quite a bit of humorous fodder in these.

Holy crap. A good sedan from GM and TWO very good commercials for it in a row?
On the other end, I have seen two lame Subie commercials with some WASP-y looking tool standing there talking about how eco-friendly Subie plants are.

Let the record show that those Subie spots are the credit of their old agency, DDB.
I heard some new work is coming out soon.

I knew you had nothing to do with those Chris, no worries
