car ads

Automotive marketing spots

Car ads are advertisements for automobiles, known for their distinctive visual and rhetorical conventions: winding mountain roads, gleaming vehicles in empty landscapes, and rapid-fire legal disclaimers.

The phrase often carries mild derision, implying formulaic marketing: Every car ad shows someone driving through a desert at sunset.

The fine print in car ads is impossible to read.
