That's a great question. Commercials appeal to people in hopes that they run out and buy a car (or other items being pushed within commercials).
In my opinion the commercial with Dr. Z is probably the worst group of ad's ever made. I watched a morning program about the new Dr. Z commercials and instead of boosting sales it decreased them because people don't understand them and were not aware a rebate was being offered.
Commercials are make to appeal to customers or a certain group of people (race, age, location, and so on). Now a days some commercials do not appeal to anyone just leave them more confused. Confusion just don't make people buy items.

Its not just cars. There a lot of commercials that makes you wonder why they were ever accepted much less aired. North American car commercial probably reflect how much the company could afford to make them. In other words, not the top advertising agency.

The real question should be, why are American TV commercials so bad, not just cars.

Because they don't need to "lure" customers with cutsey ads. People buy american to both support American cars and for nostalgic reasons. American cars don't sell as well in other countries because of the added cost to get them there and the streets are usually smaller and can't handle the bigger American models

Lack of creativity. Yes they suck hard. It's not just American cars either. The Lexus commercials drive me stupid! Especially the ones with the Christmas bows.

Because North American-made cars are so frickin bad, honey. Actually, Donny Deutsch has mad unbelievable ads for a few of our crappy cars, but he's the only successful one so far.

My favorites were the Ford commercials using Lindsay Wagner. She can run 60 mph, so what does she need a car for anyway?

I don't know ... I kind of like that ad for the Mustang GT where the dad and son are in the car zooming around the parking lot ... and the dad says, "See, this isn't a toy.". The son looks at him, acknowledges, then says "You want to go again?"
Fun, and plausible.
