- Though the "Bob" commercials are great, I still think Nissan's best car com-
- mercial was the one with the guy saying "If I owned a car company, I'd....."
- as he describes the Sentra(?) SE-R. The whole Thirties retro look, in the
- HUGE deco office and the guy's suit is really cool.
-
- But the best car commercial is the one where the rich guy goes along burning
- up the road in a Porsche 928 and then pulls into the driveway of his HUGE
- country manor, next to I believe either a Rolls or a Bentley. The butler
- walks up to him as he climbs out and says something like, "Shall I get the
- chauffeur, sir?" The rich guy has a brief flashback of zipping along in the
- Porsche, then turns to the butler and says, "Fire the chauffeur."
- Still gives me chills....
