How Chevy's "Real people. Not actors." commercials are made

Here's an interesting read about how those awful Chevrolet "Real people. Not actors." commercials are made. The real people are paid $200 for their time: $150 in Visa gift cards immediately after filming and then, oddly, a $50 check in the mail.

I love Chevy and will always buy their vehicles, but the acting is so obvious and laughable.
They're paid actors, but the cars are actually really nice

I like the hottie who damn near has an orgasm when she starts that 2SS Camaro and she hears the growl... that response might have been authetic ... mine sure was.

I gotta say, every time - and it's every time one of those commercials comes on where they ask people to describe this bland little sedan they're showing - somebody responds with "sexy" I wanna gag, seriously?! You think this Cruze or Malibu is sexy?? I mean, I'm sure they're nice cars but, you need to get out more dude. Lol!

Found this video, it's awesome, lol!

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d03svtYlFm8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

PS: How the heck do I get the video to play in my comment?
Tried a couple different ways, thought I had it, it looked ok before I pressed post, then it didn't show (only the link up there) Any tips? Thanks!

Still weird how people have found that many of the folks featured in these ads are actually actors. Maybe the blooming actors just try super hard to sneak into the casting calls?

The commercial where they debadge a malibu and ask what it is makes me laugh. My guess was a KIA. Or a pos. I cant imagine these commercials sell cars but i guess they do.
