Automobiles are the most interesting ads for people, because everyone is always looking for a car with good gas mileage. Like the Nissan Leaf, which says that you will save money on gas mileage, and is more economically efficient than most cars. In their ad, “What If” it shows that their cars are electric, and demonstrates that the driver skips the gas station. Which means less trips to the gas station, and leads more people wanting to save money on gas. The ad shows them driving through parks, and the city. The Chevrolet Volt ad shows that you need to charge your car, instead of putting in gas. The ad features a car parked at a gas station, while the guy goes in the
Free, new, 50% off- advertising, an immensely paramount aspect in today’s society, has the ability to promote or demote a newly developed product. With such a vast array of public notices, it’s crucial that they appeal to people psychologically, using rhetorical devices. During an expedition for the most complex, eye-catching ad, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon the 2010 Dodge Challenger. Astounded by the multiplex of this advertisement, my inner curiosity was enkindled. In this persuasive notice, the appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos are strategically used to persuade the target audience that the 2010 Dodge Challenger is the car for them.
The advertisement is one of those that automatically make you feel bad, pathos is shown in this picture. Showing a little boy who is in a wheelchair is the worst thing to happen to somebody.

This ad from the magazine Backpacker shows off a letter from a Subaru owner, along with a photo of a Subaru Outback on a snowy road labelled “OUTBACK RD”. All the elements in this ad help to promote three iconic ideas about Subaru and the cars that they make. The trees are heavily weighed down with snow as if a huge blizzard has passed through the area. The ground and road are also covered with several feet of snow. This suggests to the viewer that the Subaru Outback performs very well in the snow and on extreme terrains in general. Secondly the whole ad is dominated by giant pine trees and forest. The tops of the trees are not even visible. This suggests that someone who owns a Subaru Outback also
The Subaru Legacy advertisement is found in the middle in May 1989 's LIFE magazine. First, the ad begins to entice the reader with a black and white photo of the vehicle. It covers two-thirds of the connected page, and the background looks blurry, it appears to have been taken as the vehicle was being driven. The first words seen by the reader are "New Maximum Strength Subaru"("New Maximum Strength Subaru") written in a large font. The rest of the rhetorical strategies reside below the photo and large text. Within the text, the author speaks to the audience about the Subaru Legacy 's uniqueness, including its rare engine design, tremendously powered transmission, and its brake and traction control systems. Then, the author directs and guides the readers to the luxury and comfort within the interior of the vehicle. To complete the argument, the writer mentions its starting price, and states the Subaru Legacy is reliable and durable enough for the public.
Obviously this ad stretches the truth, and reality, quite a bit to get the point across that their tires do in fact stick to the road, but it does succeed in its message of getting you to buy their tires, if you are cleaver enough to figure it out. At first glance this dark ad is not quite obvious about its purpose. You see wheels. You see a road. You see the Yokohama logo, and a car chassis in the background. But what’s the point, and why is it important? Without a closer look and a few moments of analyzation, one can easily ignore the UFO that seems to be peeking out from the clouds above. If you miss the space craft, you lose the whole joke and furthermore the entire message of the advertisement; what you are left with is confusion. However, if you take the time to look at the full image, and you see the space ship, with a light beam between it, the car and the quartet of tires on the ground, a smart person –like you– will put 2 and Pi together to understand that Yokohama wants you to know that
The Nissan GT-R is a fast vehicle. In the advertisement, there is a metaphor between the speed of the vehicle and a bullet. The author uses logos as a method. It tells the audience that the vehicle is as fast as a bullet. There are people that would love to have a vehicle that they would be able to speed in. People would want to buy a vehicle that they could show off the
GEICO’s advertisement located in Men’s Health November 2016 issue targets car owners through the use of several tactics such as segmented targeting, hooking the audience, and appealing to the audience while prying for consumers to make the simple choice; to chose GEICO over their competitors.

When flipping through the magazine this ad is located in the first thing I noticed was the cliff view overlooking the water. The way it captured my attention was what the marketers meant for it to do. The beautiful scene was a good way for them to get people's attention because of lots of people because it is it a way mesmerizing. In the advertisement is a scenic picture of a cliff overlooking the dark blue water. Along the cliff is a winding road where a person,
Or perhaps, a commercial for Harley Davidson or Indian motorcycles. Finally, thirty-two seconds into the commercial the Mercedes roadster is first seen. The product is revealed and the first “P”, the product in the marketing mix, is identified. The target audience is now shifted to the middle-aged baby boomer with a higher white color income and an overall higher socioeconomic status. The product variety, quality, features, packaging, services and warranties are not discussed leaving them up to the viewer to
In comparison with other insurance companies’ advertisements this one uses bright bold colors and formatting. The slogan text is dominant in the image and frames the seemingly depressing image of the wrecked car. The radial red lines draw your eye towards the center and force your eye to look at the red toolbox besides the car. Other insurance company advertisements rely much more heavily on text, used in a convincing tone, whereas the tone of the text in this advertisement is one of derision, saying that the only good thing about the rusted car is the insurance it has. This slogan contrasts with Esurance’s new ad campaign, “Insurance for the Modern World,” with [its] emphasis on trust and savings.” In contrast, the emphasis of the Hagerty Collector Car Insurance slogan-based advertisement is designed instead to create a connection between the company and the ‘beauty’ of a hard days work on a project you are passionate about. It becomes connected with seemingly unattainable wants and desires. By using this seemingly negative
