kinda disappointing actually. was hoping for ACTUAL video of the car at the track...not CGI. They really need to step their advertising game up. Dodge has the advertising down pat, especially compared to the near non existent advertising for the Camaro.

"Brand new car coming, should we tell anyone about it? nah...they'll figure it out. im sure someone else will tell them about it."

Completely agree. GM needs to have well thought out cool commercials for the new camaro. None of the CGI stuff.

You won't see much in the way of advertising, especially much TV time until late this year, or next spring is my guess. They are not going to advertise a car that isn't even in production yet. Heck...I'm sure Chevrolet wants to get rid of as many 15s as they can before they start pushing the 16s. Another reason is that they want to be sure they actually have some on the lots that people can actually go and look at before they start the TV ads. Look at the Colorado and Canyon. There was nothing on TV until a month or two after its production began.

As for their commercials...Yes they should follow what dodge is doing for its performance cars. They are awesome. CGI, as far as it has come, still sucks when compared to the real deal.

Historically, the Camaro has pretty much sold itself. Rarely will GM have a commercial featuring the Camaro, because a high percentage people that might want one already go to car shows & racing events, read magazines, and visit blogs. They (we) will already know about it long before production begins. Same goes for the Corvette & Mustang. How often do you see either of them get advertised by GM or Ford (in spots specifically for those cars, not generic 'brand' commercials)? They'll pop up in spots for aftermarket companies like Magnaflow, or be plugged via product placement, or given away as prizes on game shows (another form of product placement really). But TV commercials extolling the virtues of a brand new Camaro, or Mustang, or Corvette are few & far between. Because they're simply not needed.

Odds are, for at least the first 6 months of production the Camaro is going to have substantially more demand than supply. In a supply constrained environment, there is no point in spending millions of dollars to increase demand (via advertising) because its not going to get you any more sales. All it would accomplish is forcing customers to wait longer before getting their cars, and give dealers an excuse to add thousands in markup. I don't see either of those as good things.

I probably should have run a search. I was on my phone on YouTube and the video said ithad been posted only 2 hours before. That is why I thought it was brand new.

Mods feel free to delete.

Camaro hasn't been doing to bad selling itself in the past 5 years I wouldn't think.
