Why car commercials suck!!

Image result for horrible car commercialsEver seen a really good car commercial these days? A really good one? If so, you must be dreaming.

   It seems when people want a car, they want to know how much mileage as well as the price. They don't need stupid gimmicks on which Buick is there's if a fury fox will give you good cars that are used, or if Progressive fights with Gieco to be the best car insurance.

 But with the actual commercial that's promoting the car??

   Well back in the 70's and 80's they just showed the car and the customer that wanted it. They showed how the car worked and... that was that.

  When the 90's came, it was more than that. It would show people being desperate for the car, even taking test drives like they were Kramer in Seinfeld.

  But believe me, there's worse. Kia decided to make their own line of commercials that involve using hamsters, making them live action and creepy looking. I guess it was the new thing, making animals look creepy by talking or dancing to rap songs as they presented a Kia Car. Toyota had their own hand by making state that their cars, are faster, more reliable.

  Chevy decided to do the opposite, using real people "not actors" pretend that they had no idea what is going on as they are presented with a Chevy truck, later finding out it is there's. I don't know if that's a good idea, or these people were really paid to be stupid.

    Ok, I'm just being mean because I can't drive (yet) but I still believe that a good car as well as the preferring something that the buyer would like. Just because you're using a slogan that saying "That's not my Buick, that's my Buick" or having a celebrity or a computer animated rodent dancing around like a freak in your nightmares. I think car commercials haven't been the same since the nineties and I feel they're going to continue being this way.

For me, if I ever get a car, I guess a Buick would have to do since my grandfather used to work for them. Even if he's gone, if he were alive, he wouldn't like what's going on in their marketing department
