As you may have noticed, the Mayan calendar did not predict the end of the world, after all, as the Earth still keeps spinning – at least at the time of writing these lines…
What is coming to an end is the year and it’s about time for some 2012 “best of” (and, probably, “worst”, too) lists.
We figured the world doesn’t need another “Car of the Year” award: it has more than enough already as it is and, as a matter of fact, it could do with less, not more.
So, how about something more interesting? Car manufacturers have always fought hard to get the customers’ attention. If anything, advertising companies have created some really interesting commercials this year.
Now, there are two ways to judge something like a commercial: by its quality or its popularity. Since the former is really a matter of opinion, we’ll just go with the numbers.
Enough said: time to scroll down and watch the 10 most-watched-on-the-Internet auto commercials of the year according to Visible Measures, with data provided by True Reach.
