| Do you have an example of a commercial that shows the car being advertised performing unrealistically in a collision? I'm curious because most of the commercials with car collisions I could find are actually safety PSAs, not commercials for a specific make and model. Aside from those, I found some examples of a brand showing the aftermath of a collision (very briefly) in an ad that skirts the line between being a PSA and a testimonial. Interestingly, most of these were from Subaru. In any case, that's still quite far from the phone commercial, where the phone is put into a situation that voids the warranty, but no physical damage or any indication thereof is shown. A comparable car commercial would need to show a car in a collision (or compromising condition) that performs unrealistically and ultimately gets away completely unscathed. My intuition would be that most car advertisers wouldn't want to associate their vehicle with such a scenario, nor set unrealistic expectations around safety critical product features, outside of maybe product placement in a James Bond film. So, I'm very curious, do you have any examples of comparable car commercials that you could share? |
