My first car was a 1967 Camaro RS in Ermine White with a black vinyl roof, just like the one in the video except I didn't have the SS package.

My Mom needed a truck and we wanted to help the autoworkers by buying a Chevy, so we went to the local (at the time it was Tom Bannon Chevy in TN) and worked out a great deal with the salesman on a base Chevy 1500.

When we went to sit down with the finance dept, they had added a ton of crap to the loan agreement doubling the payment we had already agreed on. We told them we didn't want any of the crap they added and wanted the payment we worked out with the salesman and they treated us like garbage and acted like we had to take what they offered, so we got up and left.

I've had instances where the salesman were crooks, too.

But dealerships are their own worst enemy and hurt sales / autoworkers because people have to walk away from buying a new car or truck to avoid being ripped off or price gouged in special cars.
100% correct. Amazing how much the prices get jacked up oGMn these things at the dealerships. Kind of surprising GM doesnt have a better control over their pricing to protect their sales. Dealers that rip people off are hurting them in the end

Haha yea.... it seems to me like a lot of them have moved onto 6th gens. Would make sense to have guys who are actively participating on the 5th gen side, looking after it. Maybe I’m Wrong on that but just an observation.

GM has always been timid in commercials for their performance vehicles.
Around here we get constantly bombarded by Dodge commercials like this:



Maybe take a page from MOPAR?

Yes, marketing matters but a good car should be able to sell itself. GM needs to be asking the tough questions.

GM is more interested in selling trucks and SUVs.

Its funny that FC gets a pass on something like this.

If GM put out commercials like that they would be Skewered and BBQ'd for being socially irresponsible

Good point. But sometime you gotta buck the system and say F'it.
