This holiday season’s theme seems to be the economy. Here’s Mazda’s spot… Mazdanomics.

I like it much better than the Chrysler ad that was written like a dealer ad and the Ford ad that belongs in 2006. But these ads still feel kind of weird to me. It’s almost like having a real Christmas tree all your life, then going to fake tree. What? You have no idea what I’m writing about. Ok, fine. I’ll keep looking for more ads and keep my commentary to a minimum.

Ok, where are all the holiday spots going? Here’s the Year End Sell-A-Thon ad for Chrysler Jeep and Dodge.

That was a national spot, not a local spot. This commercial actually makes me miss the Dr. Z ads.

I’m on a roll today. 2 posts in about 2 minutes. I love posting videos. It makes everything easier.

Lexus stayed with the same tired luxury car as a gift creative. Oh look there’s a bow on the car, that makes me want to buy one. Adfreak has perfectely summed up my emotions about this ad.

It’s that time of year again. Time for dealerships to roll out their holiday ads. Ford, however, is staying away from the usual holiday cliches and using Employee Pricing to lure customers.

Let me know what you think. Me, I don’t think the spot is anything special. I really don’t like how Ford keeps mentioning Honda and Toyota in their recent ads.

Anyways, I’ll try and post all the manufacturer holiday ads for 2008.
