Toyota advertising pretty much rules. Their latest Yaris commercials are simply awesome.

Who does their advertising anyway?

I love that one.

The new Honda Fit TV ad campaign is good, too, though I can't seem to find the ads online.

Apparently not - I heard it was all for real.

Not everything is CG, even these days!

This US Jaguar XK Ad is way well done: good motion graphics, catchy tune, nice art direction--very effective.

I thought the XK ad felt like every other car ad on the planet.

Doubt it, they always seem to get hotter (and smaller) versions of the designs we have here.
Although I already really dig the NA 2006 Civic:


Back to the topic: I really like the new Honda Fit commercials. Very enjoyable. The Yaris ones are good too (and high-def during primetime, lol).

When attempting to play the video, I get this error: "The file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect". Anyone else is getting this? I'm using the latest version of WMP with a current 10.4.6 system
