\"Super<\/a><\/p>\n

Well the game is over and the Saints pulled out a victory as another Super Bowl has fallen by the wayside. All through the game I was thinking, life is good, and I feel proud to be an American. There was pizza on the table, a Budweiser in my hand and a big block muscle car in the garage – man does that sound like an American stereotype, or what? Regardless, it was Super Bowl time and that meant only one thing\u2026 COMMERCIALS!!<\/p>\n

Throughout the game we saw ads from Dodge, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Audi and Volkswagen. The big question is, were they any good? So with that in mind, I\u2019ve compiled a list of all the automobile ads that ran, so you, the readers can choose and pick your favorites.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Ad 1 \u2013 Hyundai Sonata<\/h3>\n

\u201cHyundai might just take over the world with this thing\u201d, was the opening line in the first automobile ad by Hyundai. Now, that statement seems to be a little far fetched, but that doesn\u2019t change the fact that this is a really nice looking car. Consider that 15 years ago, Hyundai\u2019s were somewhat laughable\u2026 not so any more eh. Nowadays Hyundai offers some of the best, most reliable vehicles on the road, with one of the biggest warranties in the industry. Not bad for a little car company from Korea.<\/p>\n

Ad 2 \u2013 Hyundai Sonata<\/h3>\n

Yet another ad for the brand new Hyundai Sonata and I\u2019ll tell ya\u2019 something, this is a nice car. I think maybe making a comparison to Mozart and Schubert may be going a bit far though. With 200 HP and a hwy rating of 35 mpg though this is a car that people will be taking notice of.<\/p>\n

Ad 3 \u2013 Bridgestone<\/h3>\n

Take one Cadillac Escalade, three stoner Dudes and a big killer whale in the bed. Then drive down a boardwalk at breakneck speed, hit the brakes, flip-a-bitch and literally free Willy. Yep, this was Bridgestone\u2019s ad and I\u2019ll tell ya\u2019 something, in my opinion, it doesn\u2019t hold a candle to last years ad. Check them both out below.<\/p>\n

Ad 4 \u2013 Hyundai<\/h3>\n

In all probability Bret Farve will most likely still be playing ball in ten years and it\u2019s refreshing to know that if you buy a Hyundai today, that in 2020, that warranty of your will still be kicking as well.<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Ad 5 \u2013 Dodge Charger<\/h3>\n

Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is the ad that Dodge spent a few million bucks on. So, not only did they waste your money again, but the also spent a full minute telling the common man that he\u2019s a total pussy. Hey Dodge, if you\u2019re listening: CALL ME YOU DOUCHE BAGS! Let a real fan of the brand tell you what you should be doing\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Ad 6 \u2013 VW Punch<\/h3>\n

Correct me if I\u2019m wrong, but doesn\u2019t the whole \u201cPunch\u201d thing apply only if you see a Bug? Aren\u2019t you supposed to call out \u201cPUNCH BUGGY\u201d and then slug the guy next to you? It wasn\u2019t a bad ad by any means; I just think VW\u2019s information is a bit skewed. <\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Personally, I think this is the one they should have showed\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Ad 8 \u2013 Bridgestone<\/h3>\n

Man, this guy really likes his tires; I mean did you see the chick he kicked out of his car\u2026 BOOYA! If I were the Mad Max crew I\u2019d be thinking I got a good deal\u2026 but then again, I\u2019ve got Nitto\u2019s on my car, so what do I know.<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object> <\/p>\n

Ad 9 \u2013 Kia Sorrento<\/h3>\n

I actually really liked this ad. Who knows, maybe it just appealed to the kid in me, but I could see those little stuffed guys in the rear view mirror just thinking about all the fun they could have if given the chance. <\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Ad 10 \u2013 Honda Cross-Tour<\/h3>\n

Any time you add cool music and cute animals together you generally wind up with something that doesn\u2019t suck – and this ad didn\u2019t\u2026 suck, I mean. It wasn\u2019t overly brilliant, nor was it something that I\u2019ll remember by noon tomorrow, but, like I said, it didn\u2019t suck.<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Ad 11 \u2013 Audi Green Police<\/h3>\n

Man, Audi is REALLY pushing their clean diesels and with good measure, as they\u2019re good cars. In fact I just did a road test review of the very car in the commercial, the Audi A3 TDI, you can read about it here. Check out the ad below and see what you think\u2026 <\/p>\n

Ad 12 – Hyundai<\/h3>\n

Ah\u2026 the last and final ad of Super Bowl XLIV and yes, it\u2019s another Hyundai. In the final chapter of this continuing saga, employees carry a brand new Sonata through the entire assembly plant in Montgomery, Alabama. Their reason is that Hyundai feels that if every one of their employees touches the car it makes the car \u201cfeel\u201d like it was built by hand. Hmmm\u2026 don\u2019t know about that one.<\/p>\n
