I love Subaru commercials...... the Golden Retriever family driving around makes me happy, their new "Underdog" campaign makes me cry. I also love commercials with the Budweiser Clydesdales.

Yes, we could watch the Subaru Golden Retriever commercials all day! It's a nice bonus that they make really good cars

I get a kick out of seeing a Lincoln or Cadillac 4x4. All it says is look at me.

oh yes tv was much better in the old day, when you saw few people of color , and no gay people at all on tv shows or ads , and gee our old LaSale ran great and they’ll never be a man like Herbert Hoover again , change is here , you life changes all the time why not change with it , all new ways are not always bad

Why do we need to watch all those trucks and cars tear up our National Landscape in those TV commercials????

I'm sure there are animals/insects/birds that are near extinction out there and they take
$40,000 to $90,000 vehicles kicking up the dust and tearing through our rivers and water sheds.

Let me ask this: "When you look for a new replacement vehicle do those commercials
impress you to buy one"?

I'm be taking my meds now.

Some of the outdoor scenes in those commercials are computer generated. In some cases, it's cheaper than transporting the vehicles, support crews, and an entire film crew to some exotic location just to kick up some dust and mud to excite the juveniles.
BTW, I exhale carbon dioxide, not carbon monoxide.

I assume you are objecting to SUVs. What they are selling is an image, a lie. Leather seating, air conditioning, soft road suspension does not make a car that does well off road. If, you have a dirty jeep, land-rover, international etc your neighbors would be screaming.

In many things we buy an image often not TRUTH. Budweiser an American brewer has recently combined with InBev a Belgian-Brazilian brewer making it the largest brewer in the world. Clydesdales are huge Scottish draft horses Horse power? I probably should look it up. I seem to recall a Clydesdale is twice as powerful as whatever a standard horse is. I expect you cannot bring a horse into the villages none are toilet trained.

Re: sarcasm etc.
People seem to forget that readers do not see you and do not know you. The reason why it does not work. Clearly, it does not work.

It is NOT illegal. Advertising is an image not reality. There is a company in NYC that supplies the best fake ice cubes for photography. After you set up the shot, you do not want real ice to melt. Software permits you to adjust contrast. A camera with tilts and swings permits you to adjust perspective. Choice of lens and lighting can either take weight off the model or put it on. Stars? Some of the one that fans swoon over are in reality spoiled trash.

I especially hate the Lexus commercial with a group of girls standing in a circle flinging their long hair around. What does that have to do with buying a car? NOTHING
