Greatest ever car ads

[Endorphin]

So, as someone who loves ads (I know, I'm a bit weird eh? But I don't mean stuff like Barry Scott and Cillit Bang; I mean great ads like Playstation, Weetabix and Stella Artois) and loves cars, what are the greatest car ads ever? Is it Steve McQueen belting round the streets of San Fran in a Ford Puma, or that fantastic Toyota pick-up ad from New Zealand? Or something else?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't help but think there haven't been any really great ones recently.....so what are the greatest ever, as judged by us.

The Honda one set to Matt Munroe.

I like the tyre ads. The Pirelli one from the 1980's with the Countach set to Nessun Dorma was great.

This one is quite amusimng as well

From all products, cars are probably those with best ads.

It was Andy Williams but i know the one you mean...

I would suggest the Honda one with the car parts creating a domino effect for the Accord.

I quite like this Porsche one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9VsGjXkHeg

Not quite a car ad, but the Ferrari Shell piece was a bit special.

I love this and I suspect it would win an award for biggest budget car ad ever. Fooled many cinema goers at the time into thinking it was a trailer for a movie.

Might not be the greatest one ever, but this Honda advert is quite good.
