Pros: creativity
Cons: none
Summary: This is a true example of great creative skills. They really showed there opinion of this minivan. But what kind was it again? what was wrong with it again? The brakes, or the transmission? Anyway, I had no problem figuring out that they did not like ... read more

Pros: funny
Cons: every car has a lemon from production
Summary: I think it is great people speak their mind about bad products. I had a worse experience with a 95 chevy baretta. It makes me look back and think why did I buy a car they were going to stop making. There must be a good reason it is going out of ... read more

Pros: Memorable, catchy commercial.
Cons: Too short, need more responses from passersby.
Summary: Who says you can't get something free nowadays, but who ever said life offers no guarantees was right, and this ad proves it. Novel idea about trying to give away your vehicle, and it helped me remember what the ad was trying to get across, their ... read more

Pros: VERY representative of Epinions.com
Cons: none
Summary: In my opinion, the minivan commercial is the best possible choice for an advertisement for Epinions.com. Viewers unfamiliar with the site will see a person, who could be their neighbor, outlining the problems she had with a product. Isn’t that what ... read more

Pros: brilliant business undertone, funny to watch the man's reaction, informative, a perfect choice for a commercial
Cons: not a one
Summary: This was the first new commercial I viewed. Here we meet Karen trying desperately to give away her Voyager minivan. No cost, just take it!!! Now you know things are bad if they're offering that.
There's a brilliance in the way she did this ... read more

Pros: likely to atract a lot of people
Cons: none
Summary: I'm sure the manufactures wouldn't want to see this ad on TV, but I think it would definitely get people's attention. I usually don't make small-ticket purchasing decisions based on one or two reviews, but I would definitely factor in reviews on a ... read more

Pros: Its Free
Cons: Has mechanical problems
Summary: This is an interesting commercial. When I first viewed it, I thought it was a joke. Who "sells" a free minivan? But then the lady started telling the "customer" that it had so many problems and it began to make more sense. It is ... read more

Pros: Truth
Cons: Actors
Summary: The commercial was original. I really liked how there was the 'truth' about what the owner thought was wrong with the van. There was also people (probably actors) asking what the catch is about a 'FREE MINIVAN'. When the 'people' asked what the catch ... read more

Pros: Funny, good production
Cons: It's a negative ad, so some folks might be offended
Summary: The original crop of Epinions ads were, quite honestly, the reason I downloaded RealPlayer 7 in the first place. They were funny enough, but the "real-world" style of production left them feeling a little underdone - hard to hear in places, ... read more

Pros: It got the point across about checking out what others say about the van.
Cons: It gave too little information about the van.
Summary: I like the way this commercial shows the frustration people feel after spending their hard earned money on a vehicle only to find out that it doesn't work very well. I think it would have had a better impact if she put the dealership in the ... read more

Pros: publicly showing distaste
Cons: didn't tell us if she tried arbitration
Summary: Why do car manufacturers continue time and again to sell us lemons? Do they think we really don't care if our cars run properly or not? If I'm going to pay a considerable amount for a product, it should be exactly the way it is shown in commercials or ... read more

Pros: Wonderfully simple, relates to a massive audience, funny in an endearing way
Cons: Another mention of Epinions wouldn't hurt, could have flowed a little better.
Summary: While I still don't think that this is the "perfect" commercial for Epinions, I feel that it has a leg up on many of the commercials we have witnessed so far.
I'd first like to express my jealousy at being beaten to the punch: ... read more
