New Fiat 500 spot... skidmarks all over

What can be said about the latest spot for Fiat 500 that hasn't been said before?

Worst car spot ever? Probably. And, if not, top 5.

Take a look if you haven't seen it in a dozen other places before (I haven't seen it on TV)


Completely irrelevant for the category:

  • No mention of the price in a category that is amazingly price sensitive
  • No real mention of the features
  • No differentiation
  • Borrowed interest

That's a big skidmark

The client backtracking from the previous TV spot by calling it "a trailer" as if that saved all the money wasted in the previous effort?

Big skidmark

The agency having no clue on how to speak to its target market or how to sell this poor little vehicle and winding up with some generic creative that could easily fit a credit card (like it did with the original of this particular spot: the American Express commercial with Robert de Niro), a perfume, a clothing line or... any of a dozen other products.

Big skidmark

More empty creative with no persuasion whatsoever

The biggest skidmark
