Pontiac also had a great commercial for the 2004 GTO (of course, I'm partial). The commercial shows a GTO roll up to a red light on a deserted city street at night. The light turns green, but the GTO remains still as the camera rotates around the idling car. The light goes to yellow, then back to red. Just then a BMW 3 series rolls along side the GTO at the red light. Then, the camera fades out and you just hear the tires screeching.
I'm sure it's on YouTube somewhere. Probably couldn't air such a commercial in this day and age.

I agree, shitty ads with the JD Power crap. They need something exciting but they've become a boring company and believe me I'm a GM guy all the way. The new Chevy Truck adds are really pretty good. This guy that's been doing all the other adds needs to find a new job and so do the marketing departments.

I owned a 2005 GTO. I'm all for GM too. Have been for 25 years. Just wished GM would treat their customers better. Their dealers are too far gone to be fixed.
I couldn't care less about whether their ads are good or not. My cousin brother (hardcore BMW fan) is signing up for a camaro despite the A8 issues (I may have influenced him ) . Imagine how many people would sign up if GM car owners had good things to say about their GM experience. |

Yep Cadillac is better for the loaner vehicle but that's what you expect from a luxury brand. But nothing to complain about, knock on wood.

Forget the fact for a moment that you love the Camaro (you come here to participate) and then think of what Chevrolet means to you. Now go out to the East or West Coast where from a car standpoint GM had less than 10% market share last data I saw. Maine to Miami, Seattle to San Diego. GM is known only as a company that makes trucks. So the commercials they are airing today are simply trying to overcome a view that is the hangover from the 80s and 90s when GM did in fact make crappy cars. For the few years I worked for Nissan in the early 90s, we had two benchmarking days. One for product features and quality, the other for cost. GM vehicles were only evaluated for cost reduction opportunities. None were evaluated for features or quality. Nissan only viewed GM products as examples of cheap, but did not view them as real competitor for product. You want ads that excite you about a specific product. GM NEEDS ads that convey that Chevrolet makes great cars and trucks again. Judge them for people that don't even know GM makes cars, not from the POV of an enthusiast that already loves at least one GM car. When GM wins that battle, I'm sure you'll see more individual ads. In the meantime they have a bigger problem.
