Shocker: An Honest Car dealer Ad

In Ad Age’s TV Spots of the Week, we find what we never though possible – an ad from a car dealer that speaks honesty. Yup. Atlanta based Walsh Chevrolet features Lisa Walsh being a bit too honest with a police officer. Other spots this week include a guy jumping on NASCAR vehicles to hear what drivers are saying for Nextel’s Fan Scan service which allows Nextel users to hear conversations between pit crew and driver; two guitar store clerks who get oddly appreciative for a customer’s guitar playing; a Hispanic beauty shot spot for American Airlines new campaign; a Land Rover spot that makes no sense – unless you visit the website; an artist who somehow makes car oil something to care about and the debut of Absolut’s new artist campaign in which time lapse photography shows an artist rendering of the new Absolut Rasberry bottle.

Men often don’t think twice about stepping toward a threat before thinking it through, but a large study across seven experiments found that this instinct to protect, not physical strength itself, is one of the strongest drivers of how attractive a partner is rated — and it’s the willingness that counts, even when the attempt doesn’t fully succeed
