Buick’s now-iconic “Quadruple Take” commercial shows a woman getting into her Envision after a brutal spin class… only to be greeted by multiple versions of herself in the car, each highlighting features like massaging seats, Apple CarPlay, Wi‑Fi, and automatic parking assist. According to credible sources, the actress portraying all these “clones” is Vanessa Curry.
Born in Fremont, California, Curry is a multi-talented performer—actress, dancer, singer, and model. Her diverse career spans television, film, commercials, and music.
Vanessa’s roots in performance are deep: she began as a Laker Girl dancer, honing her stage presence and athletic grace.
Transitioning into acting, Curry appeared in TV series like CSI: NY and Glee, as well as indie films—including Barrio Tales 2 and Behind the Trees. She’s also appeared in a variety of commercial campaigns for brands such as AT&T, BMW, Home Depot, Gillette Venus, Urban Decay, CoverGirl, Applebee’s, and Target.
Her diverse portfolio shows why she was the perfect fit to embody multiple personalities in the Buick spot—athletic, charming, and charismatic in every facet.
This Buick commercial stood out because:
Relatable premise: Many can identify with post-spin class fatigue, parallel parking anxiety, and the urge for in-car comfort.
Humorous execution: One woman, multiple versions of herself with different needs—funny, memorable storytelling.
Seamless brand integration: Highlights Envision’s features—massaging seats, infotainment, Wi‑Fi, and autonomous parking—with personality.
Curry’s range: Her athleticism and expressive acting enabled a believable and engaging portrayal of four distinct selves.
Her own Instagram post sums it up best: “New Buick commercial out here really capturing my Gemini brain”.
The commercial quickly became a talking point—not all of it positive. Online discussions ranged from amusement to annoyance:
Commercial Society described it succinctly: “An attractive woman (played by Vanessa Curry) returns to her Buick Envision after a brutal spin class… The studious version wants to make sure it’s something they all like…”.
Feedback on blog comment sections was polarized: one viewer called it “a slap in the face to women drivers,” while others found it irritating, citing “duck lips and phoniness”.
Yet many praised the humor and creativity—calling it “one of the most enjoyable recent car commercials”.
This range of reactions is a testament to the ad’s visibility—its effective, if not universally loved, presence in pop culture.
