    In terms of creativity mine are these 5 http://emotify.com/acy84/ I think the Lambo Reventon roadster one takes the cake but I might be a bit biased! What are some of yours? post them!

    i think that one of our esteemed posters...tritone...was behind what i think was the best car commercials ever...it was a 944 ad and as i remember, the tag line was "if you were a car, what car would you be?...." he worked for POA and should have some good stories....

    i just looked it up...."imagine you were a car. what would it be?" check it out on youtube-porsche944www.petolsen.com. still pretty ******** cool.....

    The Audi R8 commercial is cool, as is the Shell - Ferrari one. The 300ZX with Van Halen was awesome, and I also dug the Volkswagen GTI (which was sung to the tune of "Little GTO", but in German as "Kleine GTI") - priceless!

    My favorites though, have to be the Lexus GS400 commercials of 1998 - "Something Wicked This Way Comes"...I posted a thread about them, they are really hard to find.

    Basically, it's the GS400 driving through what looks to be hell. It's dark and brooding, and the narrator does a fantastic job of emoting.

    Best catch line in a car print ad:

    "It is never too late to have a happy childhood."

    The Mercedes ad from years back of a 450SEL 6.9 with the two business executives in the back.

    How long until we get there? - oh, about 20 minutes. "There" was about 50 miles away, and they were on semi-wet tarmac with a lot of leaves.

    This ad was specifically targeted by many nanny safety groups and the ad council for gross inattention to safety. Kind of a long time before "professional driver on closed course, do not attempt"...
