Also starring in the commercial were two new vehicles that were never seen including the GT-R LM NISMO racecar and the 2016 Nissan Maxima.
“The tremendous response we’ve had to the commercial is due in part to the excitement around the new vehicles teased in the spot, but mainly came down to creating a story that authentically resonated with our audience,” said Fred Diaz, senior vice president of Nissan sales and marketing and operations U.S., Nissan North America. “In the commercial we saw both parents share equally in the courage, hard work and sacrifice required to keep the family strong – a struggle many people can relate to in their own daily lives.”
