The latest in Buick’s series of celebrity-sponsored comedic commercials will air next Wednesday starring NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, but we’ve got a sneak peek for you today.

It features Manning barking audibles at the car’s OnStar system as if they were plays before the snap during a game. He drives a Verano, the company’s entry-level luxury sedan and says it fits him because its “comfortable, stylish and progressive.”

This is just one of several commercials like this. Hollywood tough guy actor Ving Rhames also starred in a recent ad that highlighted the “Experience Buick” program, which is a 24-month lease that includes regular maintenance and oil changes. Before that, we saw a commercial starring Shaq crammed into a Buick LaCrosse to show how much interior space the car has.
