David Abernathy was the fictitious guy they showed in the Cars.com ad aired during super bowl. The car commercial had a good plot but the climax was kind of a let down. I mean c’mon do you expect a brain surgeon or equally capable person to get nervous while buying a car?
Give me a break. A smart guy would probably have enough money to buy from the actual first store – BMWs, Audis, American cars like Cadillac etc. Why would a talented and smart guy like David Abernathy worry about second hand cars. The moment they say David resorts to Car.com, it was a big turn down.
I think the best commercial was the Doritos Magic Crystal ball and the Mean Joe Green spook aired by Coke. Amazing commercials.
I had no idea who David Abernathy was and had to Google it only to find out that he was fictitious.
