By car or by boat, brands are trying out new vehicles this week to drive consumers down the path to purchase.

Only one of them is actually selling an automobile—German compact-car maker Smart. Insurance company Centraal Beheer makes a slapstick ad about a self-driving car. And in a new spot for Carl's Jr., cars play a supporting role to the beef-guzzling hotties who wash them. 

Headed in a different direction this week is Under Armour, which jumps on the female empowerment movement with the story of Misty Copeland, a ballerina who broke the mold.
