It’s that day – Super Bowl Commercial Sunday!

I’ll be sharing the automotive commercials as they appear during the game. Keep refreshing this post so you can stay up-to-date.

First Quarter

Well, so far we’ve had car-adjacent spots for Fast 9 and for the Daytona 500. Still waiting for something good.

Porsche – we saw this one for the Taycan early last week. Still cool.

Second Quarter

Well, that was an eventful first quarter..of football. Commercials – not so much.

Hyundai – a bunch of annoying Bostonians upset that Tom Brady isn’t playing tonight.

Genesis – Chrissy Teigen and John Legend show us the luxury of the new GV80.

Weathertech – I guess it’s automotive-adjacent. It’s just a damned cute dog.

Some enthusiasts say they were born with gasoline in their veins. Chris Tonn, on the other hand, had rust flakes in his eyes nearly since birth. Living in salty Ohio and being hopelessly addicted to vintage British and Japanese steel will do that to you. His work has appeared in eBay Motors, Hagerty, The Truth About Cars, Reader's Digest, AutoGuide, Family Handyman, and Jalopnik. He is a member of the Midwest Automotive Media Association, and he's currently looking for the safety glasses he just set down somewhere.

    Thank You ....TTAC.... Up here in the Peoples Republic of Canada we are only allowed to view Canadian content ads for fear of us being exposed to "American culture". The parent company of TTAC would be Vertical Scope , 60 percent owned by Toronto Star ,AKA Pravda . I'm shocked at Tor Star for even allowing this . The censors were asleep at the switch ? Hmmm.. perhaps that may explain the tech problems we've been experiencing?? I guess I better remove my tin foil hat.

    Something I just caught on the Porsche ad: The "bad guy" Taycan is very very fast in Reverse gear (because it's electric) - which explains why the driver can and does back down the city street.

  • Aaron Recently cross shopped both cars. Decided to go with the civic sport. Like the non direct injection 2.0 engine (no long term carbon buildup) and preferred the Hondas transmission over the Toyotas. The civic interior seems much nicer and roomier. Also Honda had many more civics available to choose from vs Toyota. Got almost 2k off sticker. Felt it was the better deal overall. Toyota was not budging on price.
  • FreedMike Not my favorite car design, but that blue color is outstanding.
  • Lorenzo Car racing is dying, and with it my interest. Midget/micro racing was my last interest in car racing, and now sanctioning body bureaucrats are killing it off too. The more organized it is, the less interesting it becomes.
  • Lorenzo Soon, the rental car lots will be filled with Kia's as far as the eye can see!
  • Lorenzo You can't sell an old man's car to a young man, but you CAN sell a young man's car to an old man (pardon the sexism, it's not my quote).Solution: Young man styling, but old man amenities, hidden if necessary, like easier entry/exit (young men gradually turn into old men, and will appreciate them).
