Porsche Superbowl 51 commercial?
My wife and I attended a SP 51 party and during halftime some of the men went down to the homeowners' basement to check out his newly constructed train layout. (men will be boys - right?) We were down there for not more than 5 minutes or so.
Anyway - upon my return - my wife mentions I missed the Porsche commercial! The way I recall her description - as a delivery being made to some guy - he questions his wife why the delivery agent would have made such a long drive on Saturday. Then the commercial shows a view of the long curvy road with car being driven spirited I guess. So - I've searched on-line since Sunday evening - and can find no such commercial or reference to it on any of the sights that have the SP 51 commercials. Looked on youtube as well. Was my wife dreaming?

I don't remember one. Maybe she is just trying to excite you?

The commercials for SB51 all were lame. Nothing really funny and for sure nothing to bother looking for. I sure miss the old days of Coke vs Pespsi, Budlight and Bud commercials and the other funny ones.

They were pedestrian this year. Bud needs to get something new...same old theme over 'n over again.

The Ford one was pretty good IMHO, but yeah the rest were pretty forgetable.
The Johnny Cash video was cool (also IMHO)

JoeBob - I looked at that site already - none listed as you mention.
I don't doubt her, but it just seems very strange that no such mention of a Porsche commercial exists anywhere on line. A friend thought it might have been one of the Alfa commercials - but none of them fit the description either. Scott - She was very "certain" it had the Porsche crest logo.

WOW! An American "Ferrari". Competition certainly improves the breed.

Mark,
Your wife is correct! I saw it too...well, after returning from a code yellow, I did see the tail end of it.....like the last 4 seconds or so, so not all of it. It showed the new Panamera....but, like you I can't find it anywhere on Google....strange!

Could Porsche have selected to run a few local ads rather than a national ad?

You might be on to something. We are in Atlanta, home of PNA. Doesn't explain Alex seeing it - if he was watching from the Great North though.

I was tuned into Fox Rochester (NY) HD (WUHF-HD) channel 208 on Shaw Cable. This is the first year that we canucks have been able to tune into an american station during the stupidbowl. Otherwise it was only through CTV or TSN for Canadians before.
The Porsche commercial came on pretty early in the second quarter or late in the first.

Yes, I saw it. It was basically this video ... https://www.facebook.com/porsche/videos/10155276568552668/ but he stopped in the middle to deliver a package to a co worker who said 'you could have just gave it to me on Monday' to which they cut back to the driver smiling as he was driving back on the twisty road.,

I can 100% relate to that.
Got to take home a current gen 911 for a day as a prize in a charity drawing. Its the only street car I've been in the driver's seat, that felt like I'd been tapped into it as an extension of the mind. If I could pick two modern cars, it'd be a PDK 911 Turbo open top, and a manual Aston Martin DB9 coupe. |

Yup I saw that one. One of the few decent commercials that aired, somewhat typical car commercial though.
I mean really I was VERY disappointed with the ads this year, there are usually 2-3 very memorable ones. I'm pretty sure I watched every one barring a few bathroom breaks but I usually just went during the game it was so horrible til the last quarter ![]() Even watch a "best of super bowl commercials" vid and was like... ummm that's it?
