    Default Car commercials and the desert

    whats with like EVERY single manufacturer today putting out commercials of cars/suvs/trucks/whatever driving through the salt flats/desert with sand flying behind the car.

    They also have a color adjustment done which makes the picture have a sort of blue tint to it.

    From what I can remember the following companies have very recently created commercials involving the desert:

    - Daimler/Chrysler: Commercial with MBZ's and Chryslers driving next to each other
    - Nissan: I think Nissan started this trend when they introduced the 2001 maxima few years ago (when they used to play that song by rob d)
    - Mazda: They have done it with every new model I think. Especially the 6 which busts a huge drift at the end in the shape of a 6
    - Acura: Commercial for the new TL

    I know there are more but that's all I can remember right now.

    Is it possible for a company to make an original commercial these days?? or has everybody run out of ideas


    whats' next??? Geo Metro drifting in the desert

    "3 Cylinders.......50hp......unleash the power today.."

    Didn't Microsoft have a commercial with a guy behind a desk and the entire desk with him in it was drifting through the desert? That looked really odd.

    Anyways, there has been quite a bit of car commericals in the desert. I guess they work, otherwise why could they be so many copycats. Opposite lock drift (with rear tires locked up) with sand flying everywhere sells cars?

    actually that desert is in California iirc; and it is the flattest piece of land this side of the globe... i think. :P
    perfect if you want to be test driving your car in "slippery" conditions.

    PLUS it's so flat and goes for quite a ways that they had the competition for the fastest land car there too... broke the sound barrier going 1000km+
