At No. 4 is an upbeat spot from Cadillac featuring the song “Fire” by Barns Courtney. Positive reviews from Kelley Blue Book and Car and Driver are overlaid on action shots of the ’18 XT5. This commercial had the best iSpot Attention Index (130) in the ranking, getting 30% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
