    Re: Car commercials are the worst

    For me the Chevy "Real People" adds are nauseating. The comments the people make are as if they have never sat in a car before and have no idea of what is on sale today. I rarely watch live TV anymore, but when I do I change the channel the minute those ridiculous adds come on. If I was in the market to buy a vehicle right now I could see avoiding Chevy all together because I hate those commercials so much.

    I find all the emphasis on the driving aids pretty sad as well because they are simply dumbing down the driving population and making them more dangerous on the road, not safer. They would be great if people used them to enhance their awareness and skill, but human nature is to use them as a crutch and your skills atrophy. The automakers also don't happen to mention how many false positives some of these systems like automatic braking have which are an entirerly different set of problems on the road.

    Re: Car commercials are the worst

    The worst for me right now is the commercials where a few people are sitting outside and a car drives by (maybe a Prius?) and the one says, "oh I like that". Then a Jeep drives by and same person says "I like that style"...
    A 3rd person chimes in to ask if they are car shopping. It's for a car finder app.

    This person looking at cars driving by obviously has no idea what any of them are or what they want

    •IMO:
    -Even though Chevy’s “Real People” commercials
    contained at least one sorta bright-spot:



    -I sure am glad they finally pulled
    those condescending commercials
    from my viewing area!

    ______________________________________

    •And I don’t really mind watching Chevy's
    current “switch logos” commercial.
    -Not for the vehicle’s, per se.
    -For Science, ya know. Yea, that’s the ticket.

    Re: Car commercials are the worst

    Dodge is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of commercials lately. They have a lot of cool cars to back it up too.

    2005 Dodge SRT4 400whp/480wtq | 2015 Nissan Frontier (daily driver) Both are corrected and coated with CQuartz UK 3.0 by me
    I detail out of my garage as a side job on the weekends and do about 6-8 cars per month.
