WHICH Car Company's Ads Have MORE Hot Air Than The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade's Balloons?

WHICH Car Company's Ads Have MORE Hot Air Than The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade's Balloons?
When it comes to advertising, today's auto manufacturers are a bit sneaky. There's little tricks here and there, and then there's the legendary fine print.

That's where the truth is told.

In recent years, as the competition gets as fierce as ever, we've seen a lot of interesting tactics and strategies employed. Some are downright misleading and shameful, while others are far more creative and well executed.

One thing is certain: There's a lot of HOT AIR out there.

Tonight, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade staff is blowing up the balloons for tomorrow's parade. As of now it's unclear as to whether they'll fly or not given the high, sustained winds in New York City. But in the spirit of the hot air, we were left wondering: Which automaker's advertisements have MORE hot air than the others?

The idiot Mike Lindell obnoxious unending pillow and sheet ads are intolerable at this point. What FOOLS buy anything from such a huckster?

Chevrolet ads are STUPID.

The Lincoln ads with Matthew Muhkonnuhheigh were great INITIALLY but they are a bit tedious now.

Cadillac's "Dare Greatly" as asinine. They had Wozniak as one of their celebtards. Jobs was the brain not Wozniak, so what was Cadillac saying? Be a footnote?

But in general there is no creativity like the classic VW Beetle ads that must have been something in the day.

The Chevy ads take the cake for treating the viewing audience like a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e morons.

Most ads that include Polling are generally skewed to the buyer of the polling. It is actually easy for a polling company (Like JD power) to word their questions in a way to favor one product over another - and before I would believe anything these polls say - I would want to actually see the questions they asked.

In addition - to date - there still has been NO STUDY the shows that the crash Data from NHTSA indicates a car is actually more safe in the real world. THe likelihood of actually getting into a controlled accident as established in the tests is near ZERO (THey happen indoors for instance) so when companies make safety claims - and it is based on NHTSA stats - that can be safely ignored.

But in reality - all the ADS generally tout "ability" that has nothing to do with real world driving - virtually ALL include far exceeding the speed limit - one I remember had a GPS tell a driver to go the WronG way down a one way street to avoid traffic - real people do not make Snow Angels with their cars up on a mountain trail - and the driving styles in these commercials borders on suicide.

In the end - STYLING drives the market more than anything else though. ANd when GM was a styling Juggernaut - all the commercials needed to do was show the car. Today - a Lexus commercial tries to omit a frontal shot for the COW CATCHER grills.

Good comments above. I would add Infiniti to the list. One in particular stating that they had the first ever variable valve timing engine and did not explain what it is or the advantage. Presumably the smug people in the add were just happy to have the first anything despite it being in a badge engineered Nissan.

Can't stand the pretentious Mazda ads. Their attempt to move upscale will fail miserably. Bring back "Zoom Zoom"! (in the ads AND in the cars).

This shows how biased people here can be. Tesla has never run an ad and that is unlikely to change.

None - Macy's Balloons are now filled with Helium - they once did use part hot air - but no longer.
