SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Award-winning actor, producer and writer Owen Wilson's affable voice is featured in two new broadcast spots for TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the negotiation-free car buying and selling mobile marketplace. The campaign uses a broad mix of talent to position TrueCar as the new way for modern consumers, especially millennials, to buy a car.
The first brand spot, dubbed "True Love," celebrates the longtime relationship that exists between dogs and cars, and aired on the first day of the 139th Westminster Kennel Club Annual Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in New York, which concludes today with the naming of the dog deemed Best in Show.
"Owen Wilson is the voice of this campaign because he is beloved by a generation that TrueCar is dedicated to serving," said Lucas Donat, TrueCar chief marketing officer and CEO of Tiny Rebellion. "The ads are meant to connect the joy of car ownership to the ease of how we can now buy them through TrueCar. The 'True Love' spot has a simple premise, dogs love cars as much as we do."

True Love :30
We all love cars. Of course, some of us more than others; and there's no one that captures this spirit quite like dogs. Every size, every breed, dogs hanging their heads out of a car window as the breeze blows through their fur has become an iconic and enduring image.
True Thrill :30
There's a unique love affair people have with their cars. Unfortunately the car-buying process can sometimes be painful and awkward. Well no more. TrueCar has simplified the process, making it simple, fair and fun. And this commercial is meant to celebrate that, evoking all the positive feelings we associate with driving a car and align them with buying them.
