    I'll state up-front, that my choice is generational. If you think the rodent-driving KIA commercials are the bomb, then you are not going to relate to, or understand, my choice:

    The new SRT Viper commercial that sounds like Sam Posey wrote the copy. If you are a "Boomer," you'll get it.

    Yea-Good commercial.

    Years ago I saw a motorcycle commercial. Can't remember when or M/C make but it went like this:

    In car camera shot of a Porsche 911 going absolutely badass at a racetrack.
    No commentary-just the car being driven as fast as possible.
    Then a simple statement:
    This is the Porsche 911 Turbo, the worlds fastest production car.
    Then....
    A flash of color shoots by the car. It is a motorcycle that is now in front of the Porsche and accelerating away at a considerable rate.
    Another simple statement:
    And this is the "XXX" motorcycle, the worlds fastest production motorcycle.

    That was the best commercial I have ever seen. Wish I could find it.

    Not really a commercial, but I love the Guy Ritchie BMW film with the M5.

    The 300ZX spot was really cool, the 944 nice and can't complain about cheerleaders but the Agency that did Jaguar commercials before the crash was really good;

    I can't find the 944 commercial made with Alice Cooper'*****, "School's Out for Summer." It featured a close shot of a red 944 drifting in slow mo as the chorus from the Cooper song played. It was great.

    I also like the third commercial in this collection:

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kDBnMeGzbM]Porsche 928 tv commercials - YouTube[/ame]

    and Porsche used to wonder why it was perceived as arrogant back in the day . . .

    Remember the old Mercedes 450SEL Sedan commercial? - two executive types in the back, the driver is honking down a slightly damp and leaf-covered two-lane at about 120mph...the German CEO type tells his American guest - "Oh we will be there in about 20 minutes"...

    It was banned from American TV because it was deemed to be too encouraging of fast driving.

    None match that one bike ad I mentioned earlier for pure simplicity and delivery of the message.

    So simple-so succinct-so genius.

    Which I could find it!
