The Super Bowl Car Ads

In case you missed them, here are the best auto ads form the 2012 Super Bowl.  I watched most of the game but for some reason missed many of the ads.

Acura's "Transactions" with Jerry Seinfeld is great.  Close runner up is Fiat (not considered a Super Bowl ad because it was run before on other shows).  The Audi and BMW are good - yes, I agree a heated steering wheel must be a good thing.  Cars.com ad is disturbing. Chevy "Joy" gets the cute award but VW gets runner up cute.  At the beginning I thought Chrysler's was a political commercial but it wasn't - or was it?  Chrysler did pay back all of its bail-out money last year (with interest paid to the US) and made a profit for the first time in several years.
