Happy Honda Days are here again. See below for two of their new spots.

Ford uses the All American Rejects song “Move Along” for their Year End Celebration.

Also check out Ford’s new ads hyping both the Focus and their new Synch feature.

Sorry I couldn’t find them on youtube but I did find them online. Again Hyundai goes with the Duh theme. This time they are using Jeff Bridges instead of Kelsey Grammer. See the spots here and here.

It’s that time of year, time for all the year end spots. I’ll try to collect as many year end manufacturer spots as I can. And I’ll include some local dealer ones to ridicule as well.

Below is Kia’s Kiafest spot based on the movie Footloose Flashdance (thanks Brett). I for one always enjoy when the manufacturers buck the trend of basing their event on the holidays.

I know some dealers would love to air spots like the ones below (I find them very cringe worthy), but these are EXTREMELY ILLEGAL! You must buy the rights to songs in order to have them in your advertisements, especially if you are going to change the lyrics. This is a very quick way to put yourself in deep legal trouble.

Obviously the first one is using Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” and the second one is U2’s “Beautiful Day.”
