What does she say at the end? I can't make out what she's saying. Sounds like "Nespa"...

Just a question, but why was the first commercial controversial?

I wasn't sure either. I know BMW shuts down in August but that's when they retool and the entire continent goes on vacation. It's not like that doesn't happen in the US either.

GM releases a 62 second long commercial, and I have to wait until the 44 second mark to see the damn car. By the time I do get around to seeing it, it takes me all of 3 seconds to realize they want 75K for what amounts to a Volt with leather seats.
Worst. Car Company. Ever. |

To be honest when I read articles (and comments attached to the articles) it really came off as a right vs left thing. I remember the ad drawing criticism specifically from Huffington Post and Slate Magazine. The ad didn't bother me at all. My issue is more with the volt in a 40k tuxedo. I really like Caddy (I drive one) and all the new products they're coming out with, but I'm not a fan of the ELR.. Last edited by ep_83; 04-01-2014 at 09:35 PM.. |

Ford's ad is controversial. They chose a black person to parody the Cadillac ad except under the guise of a poorer, poop collecting person strolling in the dumbs. Racist.

Whether the ELR is a vehicle that will be successful in stating that image, I doubt it. But the ad was perfect for what GM is at least trying to do. Maybe the CTS V-Sport would have been a better option, but the V-Sport is about performance than image. |

I have heard about the "controversial" cadillac commercial without ever seeing it until now.
Having just seen it, i personally dont see whay all thw fuzz is about. IMHO: I think people and journalist are looking too much and reading too much between the lines. The car is aimed are the 1%, top tier of the population, the car is priced as such... period. I cant afford it, but i am not going to say its a bad car or bad commercial because of it. And for the Ford commercial, i think its awesome!!! Its taking the carbon copy, then twist to aim it at the younger or more creative, real eco minded and financially savy part of the population. The end product is a car that perfectly fit that market. Both commercial are very well done. I think people are seeing more evil in these spots than there really are. |

Now just for the record, I don't go for the planet-caring part crap; and rich white dudes are still cool. Bottomline, both good effective commercials |
