Getting the right tone

 So this one missed the mark.

I like the delivery and Neal McDonough, but man is that ad off base. What is it selling exactly? Ok I know its selling a luxury car, but what is the message of the ad? A mindless devotion to stuff? Working obsessively? It's almost like a warped parody of the Chrysler "Made in Detroit" commercials. Jingoistically proclaiming American greatness, but without the original's grit or underdog spirit.

There's an arrogance to this ad, an almost mean spirited tone that totally ruins whatever the creators were going for.

When you get the tone wrong, its really hard to recover.
