Kia Soul Hamsters in "This or That" - Click above to watch video
after the jump has taken home the top honors in the Nielsen Automotive Ad of the Year awards for the second year in a row. The company's troupe of dancing hamsters managed to make the biggest impression on viewers in the "A New Way To Roll" spot in 2009 and the rodents managed to pull off a similar stunt in 2010 with the automaker's
"This or That" ad.
Nielsen hands out the awards based on response information collected from 2.5 million viewers across 24 networks, and according to Kia, the hamster spots have helped increase
Soul sales in a big way. The boxy compact saw its sales figures increase by 50.8 percent last month compared to March 2010.
The Soul wasn't the only winner, though.
Ford took home two awards in different categories, with the
Fiesta netting honors for the best green ad and the company earning best sales event spot with its "Swap Your Ride" commercials. Meanwhile,
Mercedes-Benz grabbed the best luxury campaign trophy with its "Triumphant" spot for the
SLS AMG and
Toyota walked away with the Spanish Advertiser of the Year title.
Follow the jump for the press release, as well as a replay of the winning "This or That" ad.
