From David & Goliath comes this epic commercial for the Kia Optima. In the spot, we see people from across space and time - everyone from police to villains to aliens to ancient chiefs - who attempt to keep the Optima for themselves.

The Kia Super Bowl ad aired during the third quarter of Super Bowl XLIV. The commercial, which focused on the 2011 Kia Sorento CUV, featured one of the monsters from the Nick Jr children's show, Yo Gabba Gabba, along with a teddy bear, a toy robot and other creatures. Before the 2010 Super Bowl, Kia released a series of 'teaser' videos showing the creatures bowling and at a bar participating in a bull riding competition. http://www.i4u.com/article30210.html The 2010 Kia Super Bowl ad was the first time Kia had advertised during a Super Bowl.http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/02/video-kia-previews-its-first-ever-superbowl-commercial-with-a-commercial.html
