Hyundai Genesis Super Bowl Commercial (VIDEO)

The competition among the various auto advertisers during the Super Bowl is every bit as heated as that between the two teams fighting it out on the field.

How does the Hyundai Genesis ad fare?

After putting the spotlight on a cheetah in its other Super Bowl ad, Hyundai focuses solely on horsepower here.

For years, viewers have tuned into the NFL's Super Bowl as much to see what the advertisers roll out as how the two teams vying for the sport's top prize perform. This year is no different. Each time that NBC cuts away from Super Bowl XLVI between the New York Giants and New England Patriots a hush will come over most Super Bowl parties as everyone -- and not just the diehard sports fans with a rooting (or betting) interest -- focuses entirely on the ads.

While iconic Super Bowl commercials like Apple's '1984' and Coke's ad starring Mean Joe Greene will be remembered so many more are soon forgotten or, even worse, ridiculed as super fails.

How does this Super Bowl ad stack up?

Jeff Bridges should put the brakes on the embarrassing Hyundai ads and take a cue from Clint Eastwood.

Otherwise class-act Jeff Bridges is too cool to shill for the ultimate Walmart car.

It's way too un-Dude.

A Harley-Davidson or Corvette voice-over would better suit the Oscar winner.
