>>212558568Tv advertising is a massive influence in car purchasing. Often vehicles are purchased based on what the wife wants,and anything too texhnical ia brushed off as mansplaining.
Car commercials that aim for an emotional impact really do cause people to go out and buy them.
Aside from the VW darth vader ad mentioned above, the mini "faith of the few" advertisement played in movie theaters and it looked like a film trailer. This was an enormously successful ad for mini (over 20% sales increase, similar to what they gained from the movie "Italian Job"). People really do run out and buy a vehicle if they respond well to the ad.
