10 Weirdly Pretentious Adverts That Make No Damn Sense

10. Lamborghini €“ Aventador LP 700-4

I'm gonna throw a number at you. 1,711. What is this number? This number represents how many Lamborghini's (any model) are made per year. Seems like a lot, right? Compared to other luxury sports cars (Aston Martin - 6,000/year, Ferrari - 6,000/year, etc.), that number tends to look pretty small. Compared to larger, non-sport car manufacturers (Ford, Honda, Nissan, etc.), that number is even tinier. So, it's no surprise that they have a lot of money to pour into commercials for their cars, right? Well, considering the car advertised above has a price tag of $397,500 for the bare minimum, I'd say they should. What kills me about car commercials is that, if the car is expensive enough, commercials are completely irrelevant. Sports cars go vroom. We get it. Who cares what graphics and special effects can be thrown at the car jettisoning itself through the desert? It's a f***ing Lamborghini! My favorite part about this commercial, though, is that they advertise headlights. There is nothing special about these headlights in particular, other than the fact that they're attached to a Lamborghini, but because they spent over half of the commercial showing how fast the car goes, they had to eat up some more time with average features that every car ever produced also has. Lamborghini €“ I shake my head at you. When you build a car that flies, start making commercials again, but until then, stop. People will still desire your cars without having to watch a scene from the latest action movie with no content whatsoever.
