We put up a blog on our website the other day commenting on a car ad that ‘grabbed’ us.
OK, let’s confess right now, not many car ads have that effect on us. But this ad got us thinking – what are the really memorable car ads?
So we thought we’d enlist your help, we’ll start off with our three all time favourites then you can tell us what tickled your fancy.
Ad No. 1
We’ll start off with the Kia ad on the blog with track by Grandmaster Flash – a really catchy tune that we think grabs the younger set- just what Kia want. We wrote about the Kia Ad a week or so ago.

Ad No. 2
Talking about a catchy tune, very little can beat the Mitsubishi ad that made a chart topper!
This track “You get what you give” by the New Radicals was used as the backing track for this Mitsu commercial in 2008, and we defy you to sit still whilst you listen to it!

Ad No 3
We admit that this is our all-time favourite, reputed to have cost well over 1.6 million dollars to produce. The Honda ‘Cog’ commercial started life on the UK Cinema and TV screens in April 2003 to advertise the Honda Accord. It immediately received a rapturous reception and was adopted world-wide by Honda. In fact it received more industry awards that any other commercial in history.
