Car Ad Evolution, Part V: Right here, right now

So we have finally reached the end of the Car advertisement evolution. This very unsuccessful but highly entertaining (at least for me) series set out to educate the world in the art of car ads.
I chose this car ad from Saturn because it highlights the main trends affecting the car industry today: The high price of oil, the pressure to reduce pollution and safety. It is also a very emotional ad; but this ad is not using the "pleasure of driving" appeal, the ad reflects on the history of Saturn. It also dwells their desired to evolve; to move forward and to design cars that look pretty. No mention of quality control ( lemons everyone?)

exit note: Friday! You will have to excuse me, but my brain seems to have gone partying and I cannot concentrate. Let us all hope for the brain's safe return next Monday; freed from anything that might come back and make Tuesday a very, very complicated day. Have a great weekend.
