A Chevrolet spot grabs first place in iSpot.tv’s ranking of the most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads that have generated the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

The No.1 commercial for the week of Nov. 11 explains how Chevrolet has received more J.D. Power Quality Awards across cars, trucks and SUVs than any other brand over the past four years.

In Lincoln’s second-place ad promoting its Wish List Sales Event, a woman arrives home to find that her parents – and their pet goats – have arrived early for the holidays. Luckily, she’s able to take refuge in her Lincoln. This commercial has the best iSpot Attention Index (157) in the ranking, getting 57% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).

At No.3, Ram Trucks proclaims it builds vehicles to serve the people who depend on them to deliver “the power to do more.” The company currently is extending its Employee Pricing Plus program to everyone.

Honda’s enduring ad focused on safety takes fourth place, showing how its vehicles can “brake before you do.” And GMC rounds out the ranking with a spot promoting the ’19 Sierra 1500 SLE Crew Cab, available now for 20% below MSRP.
