Super Bowl Commercial Sneak Peek 2016

As rumors spread about Super Bowl 2016 commercials, behind-the-scenes Kia footage has been revealed by Kia Media that shows Christopher Walken on set. This 60-second commercial is designed to showcase the new 2016 Optima. It’s a midsize sedan that’s known for its extreme versatility, outstanding value and substantial safety features. The advertisement is set to run during the third quarter. As you might expect with Kia, the ad is designed to appeal to people who want something a little out of the ordinary.

From the pictures released by the Kia Media team, it appears Christopher Walken is wearing a sock on his hand and holding an umbrella. As he is known for his often humorous dance routines in music videos and acting, we’re wondering if we’re going to see a quirky commercial that features his ability to dance, in a vein similar to what he did in the Fatboy Slim music video “Weapon of Choice.”

Given his history of theatrics, we’re fully expecting to see Christopher Walken dancing on his hands and holding the umbrella with his feet. While Kia hasn’t provided enough details to know for certain what he’s up to, you can bet we’re going to tune in to find out.

The publicity around the commercial is both sparse and clever. In one press release, Kia notes that Christopher Walken is providing the voice-over for two 30-second spots titled “Middle C” and “Cookie Cutter.” This campaign has been ongoing for quite some time. It began with a series called “Next Level.” It featured Blake Griffin in a series of unconventional spots.

While we can’t tell you what’s in the ad campaign, you can be certain we’re excited to see what Kia has up its sleeves. We love the Kia Optima down here in St. Petersburg. It’s a stunning vehicle that won’t break the bank, and it comes in a Hybrid version. It’s one of our best-selling vehicles, and it features some truly outstanding styling features. The interior is refined with premium materials, and it’s got significant ride and handling improvements.

Watch the ad on Super Bowl Sunday, then come down and visit our Kia dealership in St. Petersburg and tell us what you thought of the new video. While you’re here, we’ll treat you like family and give you a test drive of this responsive and confident vehicle. We’re going to be selling a lot of these vehicles in the coming weeks, so make sure you get in soon so you can get the trim level and options that you want most.
