Cam Newton is fine, but if you want to embody the spirit of Pee Wee Gootball, you need Snoop Dogg. I mean, the man has his own youth league. And what's Miranda Kerr doing here? Her appearance is as gratuitous as her complexion is perfect.
Also, I would like to point out that Beyonce is pregnant. There's no connection to this story, but it's what 99.9% percent of the websites out there are writing about except the auto reviewers. Anyway, getting back to the 2017 Super Bowl commercial from Buick, it's about the same as the one they had last year when they used Emily Ratajkowski caught a bridal bouquet and all that.
They even used the same car, a Buick Cascada convertible, which is painted in a new shade of red for 2017. Isn't the Cascada going out of production soon? Don't they have the fantastic new LaCrosse sedan on that they could have shown instead?
Buick's ad starts with two dads conversing about the game while somebody rolls up in a Buick Cascada. One of them says, “If that’s a Buick, then my kid is Cam Newton." Guess what happens next! That's right; a child magically transforms into the Carolina Panthers’ quarterback.
He dominates the field full of kids, which is somehow supposed to be funny. Later on, they ram the joke down our throats by making one of the men into Miranda Kerr.
“Every time I take the field, I aim to shatter traditional expectations of the quarterback position,” said Newton. “Buick’s doing the same thing with this ad, and I think everyone watching will love it. It was so fun going back to the Pee Wee field with such great kids.”
“I am excited to star in Buick’s Super Bowl ad this year,” added Kerr. “The commercial is fun and filled with some unexpected surprises, and showcases how beautiful and cool the Buick Cascada and Encore are.”
Down below, you'll be able to watch the full one-minute version of the ad, the 30-second one and behind the scenes footage.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
