2007 Nissan "7 Days in Sentra" Commercials - Awful

Someone make the 2007 Sentra roll over this bozo so we can end this painful commercial series.

Blast! You beat me to it.

Nissan WAS headed in the right direction with their designs, now I don't know what the hell happened. It's like they're refining their ugliness with each car they redesign - and I thought the Maxima was bad! It's a beauty queen compared to this new Sentra!

I can tell you average Joe doesn't entice me to buy a car or other products.

It also looks like a cheapened Maxima. I read an early review and it's driving dynamics leave a lot to be desired. I think the Versa is a better car for the money than a sedated Mini Me Maxima.

I think they're stupid. Every time I see, it for some reason I keep thinking it should be a VW commercial.

On the plus side.. these commercials are most likely turning more people off and make them think "Hmm.. Mazda's are nice...."
That and you know anyone who would actually buy one will always hear "So do you live in it?! haha." I wouldnt wanna listen to that all the time.

This is not nearly as stupid as the VW "low ego emissions" ads.... trying to make the fact that their cars are boring as hell a selling point...

In one of my travel mags, I got a ego emissions booklet with little stickers I can use to put on my VW. I don't own a VW, but my mom owns a Passat and that silly ad campaign is going nowhere near that car.

Might not be so bad if it were a SE-R SpecV

Obviously Nissan missed the mark on the marketing of the Sentra.

The 'average' guy that they picked in not really your average guy. His name is Marc Horowitz and he's a conceptual performance artist from San Francisco. Here's his website:

Yeah not so average. Too bad the new Sentra is so below that.
