Can a Spoof Rap video featuring a Mother, her children and a Fiat 500L be considered car news?

I have been having an internal battle all day with my conscious trying to decide if this video was post worthy.  Truth be told it is only loosely car based however in this case comedy has won out.  Let me know if I’ve made the wrong call remember we’re still relatively new to the car reporting game and my car news radar may still need some fine tuning.

As a first time parent I would have to say that I can personally related to just a75% message being conveyed. I also am please to know that there is a car company out there who is not afraid to 1) target a female demographic and 2) to use the avenue of comedy to do so. It is a very refreshing take on car marketing and something that is not done all that often.

Check out the video titled “The Motherhood”, the advertisement featuring a not so ganster rappin’ mom, her three toddlers and the 500L will surely make you smile! But do also let me know in the comment section below if it should be on Car Rolodex at all.

2012 Super Bowl Car Ads – This year 7 Rose to the Top

This year had no shortage of car ads from a wide range of manufactures.  We have now watched them all online, which is another bone of contention.  For those who don’t live in Canada you may not be aware that we have to suffer year after year with the same boring old commercials that run during football games all year long.  So while our American Cousins were watching talking babies, beer fetching dogs, monkeys wearing ties and of course the GoDaddy Girls.  We were learning all about Subways 5 dollar foot long deals and how Bell Bundles can save you money.

Fortunately we now have the internet so you no longer have to go to a bar or a friend house who was pirating a US satellite signal.  This year all we had to do was set the PVR to the game watch the new episode of Top Gear and then an hour later press play.

Below are our picks of the top car ads from the 2012 Stupper Bowl.
