The Force


I believe this commercial is effective in promoting the new 2012 Volkswagen Passat. The creators of this commercial create a Rhetoric Situation that appeals to viewers. Starting off there is a clear exigence. The exigence is reason the creators made this video to address a certain problem or idea. The exigence, reason this commercial was created, is that everybody should be driving Volkswagens over other car brands. They advertise to assure that people see their brand as a suitable choice when shopping for a new vehicle. The audience of this commercial is obviously those currently in the market for a car or considering buying a new car. Of this broad group, the commercial specifically appeals to the viewer’s emotions as it shows the imagination of a child, and the inner child and support of parents. Constraints of this commercial and sales pitch could be the audiences’ financial situation, stance on Star Wars, and even family status. Single men might not find the same appeal in the family dynamic the car is presented with, nor would those who despise Star Wars. Also, as the car is a very new model, those with lower incomes may not be interested in the car or be convinced by this commercial.
