Volvo Urging People Not To Watch the Super Bowl

Volvo is taking a very unique approach to its advertising for the Super Bowl this year. Rather than simply have the network air its commercials during the breaks, it has decided to compete with the game directly for viewership.

Called “The Longest Drive,” the automaker’s smartphone game is reminiscent of dealer and radio contests where people have to keep their hands on the car to win it. The difference here is that Volvo is concerned with your eyes. Participants will compete to log the most amount of time looking at stock footage of the Volvo S60 in the hopes of claiming one as a prize.

Mercedes-Benz tried something similar last year with its digitized “Last Fan Standing” competition. In that contest, people were asked to keep their finger on a Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe as the company monitored their cell phone, waiting for them to make a mistake. Unfortunately, mistakes were made long before the contest began.

  • EBFlex It had a good run. But personally I wouldn’t want a truck that dates back to 2009ish when it was introduced. Still better than a new Ford though
  • Arthur Dailey Still prefer the 59's. Auto styling as mentioned was in the 50's derivative of military aircraft styling, and the 'space age'. The '59 Caddies 'nailed this' in an in your face manner. If you are going to put fins on a car, why use small, vestigial, almost apologetic fins, like M-B did with their 110? I did have an appreciation for Dagmars, but the front end/grille of the '59 is so much cleaner and more modern than the '58.As for the back/trunk of these vehicles the '58 appears to me to be clunky and cluttered. Corey what about a column on the Eldorado Biarritz Convertible from 1959? I need to see if my memories are correct or have been tainted over time.
  • Oberkanone Why would you want one? Nostalgia?
  • Arthur Dailey Really enjoy seeing these loyal survivors. The listing seems to prove the adage that the person who owns the car is more important than the make or model of the car when it comes to long term service/reliability.
  • ToolGuy If you could see how well my FFIE position is faring, you would understand how brilliant I am not.
