Another commercial I now loathe is the latest AutoNation spot. I get it, they're trying to get the word out that our local Bankston Autos in Dallas/Fort Worth is now AutoNation, but it's been (over)played on my local TV stations almost every commercial break. And why are they using a "Ghostbusters" theme?!

Bankston is now AutoNation!


We have one just like that! With the same little yellow arrow too. It goes: "If you need a car, truck or van, who you gonna call? Call Dobbs!" -_-...hate those commercials


My former hometown of Spokane has a dealership called Appleway Motors, which is owned by AutoNation and also used the same graphics and music, with lyrics that go "Who you gonna call? Appleway!" That was really annoying and I hated that ad  <_<

The Tampa Bay Area's AutoNation dealerships are known as AutoWay.. With the tagline "Who you gonna call? AutoWay!" :P

I don't mind the Empire jingle, sometimes I subconsciously find myself singing the jingle. How could you loathe it?it's so catchy and easy to remember. :P

"The General" ads are usually stupid, but this one is the worst. In fact, it's the dumbest commercial I've seen in a long time!

Ironically, I was at mickey D's for lunch this afternoon and that's what I had. Don't order it, it's not as good as it sounds.
