Editor’s note: I’ve previewed most of the Super Bowl commercials, and I think this one is going to be my favorite. Only regret: I wish it was a Sierra Foothills craft brew.

So sweet.
Made me cry. Ah, but Stevie and horses always do…
Jeff,
You haven’t seen the Chrysler commercial yet. How can you possibly know which will be your favorite without Chrysler? (-;

Michael,
Yes, very dramatic, but that’s a bit of “yesterday’s lettuce.” I bought my new Chevy truck more than a year ago, and it runs like a top. The bailout debate is behind us. Job growth accelerated at yearend faster than expected and consumer sentiment is higher. And the Dow is over 14,000 for the first time in five years. In my view, our second half is underway, not “about to begin,” as Clint states. Real estate sucks, but that’s more of a regional issue. That was a better commercial for last year’s Super Bowl.
Hmmm. My point was that this year’s Chrysler commercial hasn’t debuted yet (their ad agency likes to play coy), so how could you possibly form an opinion about “best ad” without seeing the front runner for the past two years?
Speaking of yesterday’s lettuce, I’ll take an F150 w/ EcoBoost any ol’ day over whatever they come up with at 300 Renaissance Center.
Great commercial! But I am sure animal rights advocates will have a problem with it. Some group always has a problem with the super bowl commercials. So far the VW and Coca cola commercials have been deemed racist. Stay tuned.
Michael,
I thought I hedged it with a “?” and “I think this is going to be my favorite.” Always open to new ideas!
Duly noted. Time will certainly tell!
Here’s one spot to preview more of them (note: three pages worth):

Yup, I’m going with Chrysler’s “God Made a Farmer.” Total Ken Burns ripoff. Perfect.
The problem with any Budweiser commercial is that their product is crap. I noted that they announced a new “dark” beer this evening…probably just food coloring. Ick. There is no way to fix rice beer, sorry A-B.
Regarding the actual machines, I am first a Chrysler man (love Mopar), then Ford, and last Chevy. I rented a Chevy Malibu in 2011 and took it on a camping trip, a huge mistake. A plastic car, only suitable for mall driving and other innocuous tasks. It self-destructed along the way, and my only regret is that I did not take out the full insurance so I could have burned it on site and caught a ride back to Nevada City in a real car.
Michael I will agree with you on Mopar (a couple of siblings are fanatics over Mopar) but disagree with you on Budweiser. I’ve been drinking their products for 40 years. Tried others but always came back.
And then we have this Superbowl ad, which was banned (yes BANNED from airing during the Superbowl) by the ad police….
Thanks Michael, I drank a Bud but never owned a Chrysler.
Jeff,
I still have a 1977 Dodge Adventurer 100 V-8, 380 cu, that beats everything climbing the freeway hill past Weaver’s going from GV to NC. I’d love for you to take a ride with me sometime.
That being said, I once owned a 1972 Chevy Impala and that was a great machine. My favorite car I owned from that era was a Fury III 426 cu w/ a 4-barrell carb., we used to race around on the the 280 and 680 freeways back in the early 1970s before they were fully open. Talk about speed.
God may have made a farmer, but only Detroit made the best damn cars in the world 40 years ago. As Joni Mitchell once said, “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.”

Ah, you are making me miss my green 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT with a 351 engine, nonfunctional hood scoop, and funny little spoiler on the back that also served no function. By the time I bought it it was suffering rust cancer and testosterone deficiency, but I rechristened it the Dead Mobile, plastered it with silly stickers including the ubiquitous “US Out of North America: Nobody for President”, 1980 vintage, and ran it into the ground, which if I remember correctly only took another 15,000 miles. My next cat was a Honda CVCC, which I could literally pick up and move into a parking space I was having trouble fitting into.
