Top 10 Best Car Commercials of 2015

Posted:

As we bid farewell to 2015, let's take a look back at some of the best car commercials from the year.

This year, we saw a huge variety of fun commercials, as automakers not only stepped up the quality of their ads but also teamed up with well-known franchises such as Star Wars to show off their products. It was pretty tough to narrow down the list to just 10, but we decided to offer some variety by limiting each automaker to one commercial.

Ford Fiesta RS Rumored to Arrive in 2017 with 250 HP

Posted:

Rumors on the upcoming Ford Fiesta RS are starting to surface.

With development of the Ford Focus RS now complete and heading to dealerships in spring 2016, the American automaker will reportedly launch the Fiesta RS to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the nameplate. German publication Autobild reports that the Fiesta RS will be powered by the same 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in today's Fiesta ST, but its performance will be increased to around 250 horsepower from the current 197 figure.

Expect the Fiesta RS to also get more aggressive styling, just like its bigger brother. Combine that with sportier suspension and larger brakes and it'll be a fun-to-drive package that's more affordable than the Focus RS that will start at $36,605 including destination. It is doubtful that the Fiesta RS will benefit from the all-wheel-drive system found in the Focus RS however.

Earlier this year, a mule for the hot hatch was spied testing alongside a Ford Focus RS prototype. The Ford Performance division is set to launch a dozen new vehicles by 2020 and the Fiesta RS will fill an important role in the lineup.

Tesla is wishing you a Merry Christmas in the most Tesla way imaginable.

The American electric automaker has a lot to celebrate this year, with one of its biggest achievements in 2015 the actual launch of the Model X. So it's no surprise that Tesla used a trio of its new crossovers for a Merry Model X-mas, using the vehicles' lighting and Falcon doors to put on a show.

The light show is set to Wizards in Winter by Trans-Siberian Orchestra, which is a popular instrumental track that is often used for light shows. You may remember in 2005 the Carson Williams original Christmas light show was set to the same tune with 16,000 lights synchronized to the music.

Mercedes Has a Santa-Class Christmas Sleigh Configurator to Play With If You’re Bored Today

Posted:

Mercedes is in the holiday spirit and is letting you configure your very own Santa-Class Christmas sleigh.

The German automaker has launched a configurator that allows you to create your own customized Mercedes-themed sleigh. Users get to choose between Santa's Silver Arrow, Santa's F 015 and Santa's G-Class before choosing from five different colors including the festive Pine Needle green and Reindeer Nose red. From there, the configurator offers a trio of runners with different themes to choose from.

Mercedes then puts a spin on the drivetrain for the sleigh, with the 4MATIC all-wheel drive depicted by four reindeers. You can also choose a "hybrid" powertrain that consists of two horses and two reindeers while the AMG drivetrain nets you four reindeers that look like they've been possessed and are quite heftier than the standard reindeers.

Lastly, users then select from a list of equipment like Safety Package Plus, a Navigation system and an Intelligent Light System.

Of course, once you're all done, the configurator has an easy way for you to share your custom Santa-Class Christmas sleigh. It's pretty fun to play with and if you're bored today and feeling festive, give it a go!
