Well jw, that may be true, but Honda Accords aren't about 0-60 times, and I really was under the impression that most of our board members aren't either, since they own Hondas.
There have been a few ads that really get my heart going...such as the RSX-S ads, that Lincoln LS ad back in the day was pretty cool, and the S2000 ad was just incredible.
But if Honda can sell 48,000 Accords with some of the most boring ads I've EVER seen, your point is well understood. My belief is that ads don't make you want to buy something, they help brand recognition.
