Disappointed With GM - Lack Of Camaro Commercials - Page 2

Wait, what’s a commercial!? Lol justly kidding. As much as I would love to see GM step up the advertising, no body watches commercials unless there during the super bowl. Just saying

With regards to marketing, it's all about return on your advertising dollars spent. Push and promote the products that make you the most money. Camaros are great, but they're only a small contributor to keeping the lights on. Thankfully they're building them!

I DVR most of the programming my wife and I watch. Yes, we fast forward the commercials. But, come on GM.

Advertise the hell out of the Camaro! Some folks still watch commercials. Please do us all a favor and get rid of those silly “real people” garbage commercials. Whatcha gotta lose at this point?

Just my .02

Nailed it!

like guitarman was saying I havent even seen a vette in the background of a gm commercial

great cars dont sell themselves when no one knows they exist. People know the Corvette because they have money and can afford and are looking for a sports car. The Camaro is a car anyone that can buy a nice car can afford. they definitely should have commercials. the public is way misinformed on the car. I had a guy call me a liar because the camaro only comes with a v6. Thats why everyone thinks its a mustang. And every damn time i see anything on the camaro its all about the v6 with barely a mention of a v8. My neighbor asked me if my car was a Mach 1 two days ago. Most people I that ask about my car no nothing about the Camaro. I get comments like Must be nice to have money and there driving a $50k pick up. that was when I had a $38k 5th gen.

I love the rarity of the Camaro, especially my SS 1LE. I don't want to see them on every street corner. In fact, i've only seen one 1LE in the past year; a V6.

We bumped into each other on epic Hwy 33:

Since the Kia Stinger was mentioned. You can get this car with a 3.3 liter V6 with twin turbos and it only has 365 hp? Seems pretty weak to me having twin turbos.

This is my point exactly...The general public is misinformed about the camaro. Heck, for the most part 60 percent of the general public doesn’t even know about the 50th edition..

Man, i thought i would like that KIA stinger until i saw it in person. I dont know if the yellow color threw me off or the KIA emblem just makes the car look so freaking cheap LOL.

I would say more like 99%

Thinking about it I haven't seen any commercials with the Mustang either. Only Dodge seems to be advertising the pony car.
