As you may have noted there were no car ads from American companies! Even GM pulled out this year due to bad times. I was impressed with the Hyundai ad. It really did a good job of focusing on the product instead of a lot of goofy stuff.

My favorite is the one that Fox would not allow to be broadcast, and it featured Danica Patrick

Like the holiday Duh ads. That was the dumbest ad campaign that I can remember. So dumb that I would NOT want to buy their product. The new ad at least featured a buying feature.

Some comments from AE:
Go Daddy. Tasteless, juvenile - and brilliant - the Go Daddy Super Bowl spot, which directed viewers to the company's website to see Danica Patrick in a spot that they couldn't air on the broadcast due to network censor concerns, drew a staggering two million hits.
[I did check this out and as I posted on another thread I thought it was Trash]
Audi. Now that the gushing over Audi's Super Bowl spot has eased a little bit, the bottom line is that it wasn't all that great, folks. We stopped reading some of the reviews when one so-called ad "expert" termed it as being "original." Ahem, how can a spot that rips off a 25-year-old classic American movie possibly be original? Let's just say it was the most egregious case of borrowed interest we've ever seen. And what about the tagline, "Old luxury just got put on notice" - ? What do a faux Rolls-Royce grille and the word "luxury" have to do with Audi, especially the R8? Isn't this the same company that has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on its Le Mans-winning racing program over the last ten years? Isn't this the same company that has bent over backwards trying to prove its technical credentials and engineering savvy in that same timeframe? Isn't this the same company that has carved out a bold, "marching to a different drummer" positioning to go up against BMW and Mercedes in the U.S. market? Then what the hell do the words "new luxury" have to do with their flagship mid-engine sports car? Audi would have been better off just showing the R8 running down a wet windy road with plenty of authentic engine sounds - at least we would have gotten a good look at the car along with our cliches.

I don't know what product it was for, and it only came on once, and I didn 't get it until 3 minutes after I saw it, but the silent commercial with the two deaf guys looking for their friend's house who ended up leaning on the horn causing all the neighbors' houses to light up, and finally pulling into the only house on the block that was dark, was so sick, that I ended up thinking "what a dumb commercial." That is until I thought about it some more and howled when I finally did get it.
