New commerical..G8 vs. 550

grumpybear · 03-31-2008, 07:01 PM

Funny commerical to go along with the "Spy Hunter" ad that's been running. If nothing else Pontiac has hired a pretty smart ad group to handle things for them.

ybbiz34 · 03-31-2008, 07:53 PM

I've also noticed that. It's normal though- the only way they can stay competitive is to make innovative products.

Better than what?

Just look at the size of their engines. Talk about fuel economy...

BMdblU · 03-31-2008, 09:05 PM

I thought it was funny. Reminded me of powerthirst in a way.

Neema · 03-31-2008, 09:16 PM

most retarded commercial i've ever seen. Is that how the American public learns haha? Through retarded nursery rhymes and picture by picture descriptions? Nice commercial for the idiots who'd be into that car. Wow. . . what a class gap

RokX · 03-31-2008, 09:17 PM

Made me lol

Year's_End · 03-31-2008, 09:30 PM

Wait...is this a real commercial or something some random guy made?

JCLBoston · 03-31-2008, 09:31 PM

haha.. No need for anyone to get their panties up in a bunch, I thought it was pretty funny..

The hofmeister style kink and side gills look like straight-up knock-offs from a M3 though

No, but the stereotype of that type of person being a BMW driver, is what is lame.

Neema · 03-31-2008, 09:53 PM

No, I like more clever commercials like these ones

03-31-2008, 09:55 PM

why didnt the "badasses" compare the "G8" to the M5? yeah exactly...

Should really keep your mouth shut if you don't know what you're talking about.

BMW 550i 4.8 V8 360 HP- 15/23

Pontiac G8 GT 6.0 V8 361 HP- 15/24

Cheesy commercial if it is real, IMHO. Definitely dropped the ball after the Hot Wheels and Spy Hunter one.

Two of the best commercials! Good picks.

That Ferrari/Shell ad is amazing as well. So is the Honda one.
