Hildebrand was given the D3 CTS-V coupe with 750-hp, while poor McQuarrie was stuck with a bog standard 556-hp CTS-V coupe. What a bummer…

The video below was done on a closed street circuit before the race actually happened, as well as closed areas of highway and parking garages, and the two drivers are exceptionally experienced professionals. So, please, let’s leave these stunts up to them, huh?

Anyway, the advertisement isn’t witty, it’s not funny, cute or purposeful. Instead, it’s done for America. It’s about us working as Americans to be the best again, to fix our own economy and take care of ourselves and our country. It’s not even about Chrysler, it’s about America, and how we can learn from the hardships that Detroit keeps pushing through to succeed. In a nutshell, it’s damn brilliant, and selfless. It gives me goosebumps, honestly.

Acura, like most Japanese car companies, offer typically bland yet informative advertisements for their cars. This time, finally, they make one with no real purpose whatsoever. The real brilliance of this ad is Jerry Seinfeld doing everything he can for the first new NSX, running in to a potential issue with another car nut, Jay Leno.

The whole thing is absolutely perfect. It’s funny, witty, creative and just promotes the NSX the way it deserves.

This year they’re back with an even hotter advertisement for the Super Bowl, literally. It stars the touched up 2012 Kia Optima, as well as Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima and ’80s rock band Mötley Crüe. My 79 year old grandfather, who purchased a Kia Optima SX Turbo last year, quipped, “Why didn’t she come with my car?”

Cadillac have been working out there since the C6 Corvette was first being developed, having later benchmarked the CTS-V’s performance there, as well. Now they’re at it again with the new ATS, or as they say, “Built from the ground up, to take on the BMW 3-Series.” This also happens to be GM’s overall downfall with Cadillac’s advertisements these days. Cadillac is the American BMW. What’s wrong with being the American Cadillac again? It’s still a pretty good advert, though.

Suzuki: Sled

I sound like I’m doing an ad for them now… Anyway, watch the video below, because I thought it was funny. I bounced in my chair a little bit to the tune.

What’s even worse is that Matthew Broderick, a great stage and screen actor, actually reprised the role. Either he really doesn’t like being around his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, or he’s hard-up for the dough. I hope Honda sent a Brinks truck to your crib, Mr. Broderick.
