It's really not going to matter as much as people on here think it will

Yep...Sonic, Malibu, Spark, Cruze, and...….Camaro!!….What a grouping and awesome segment of cheap-o cars!

If this is how Chevy views the Camaro, any advertising for it can only get worse. Challenger and Mustang have nothing to worry about from Camaro marketing.

Sorry Jeep and Ram are what’s driving Fiat. Dodge? Not so much. Unless your goal is commercials that make your existing owners feel good about what they bought. Kind of like good customer service. Buy our car and we will make you fell good about it.

And yet with far more limited resources, Dodge engineers are able to develop a product that not only creates a lot of excitement, but also growing sales.

I could only imagine what they would create if they had access to what the Camaro engineers did. Well, if Dodge was part of GM there certainly wouldn't be a Demon, Redeye, 1320 pack, or a lot of other things.,

The Chevy marketing team really does need to be put out to pasture. After complaining about this commercial, I just saw a thread on Jalopnik where they were called out for lying:

https://jalopnik.com/chevrolet-pulls...ged-1831800283

The mental gymnastics the marketing team pulled off to not only avoid admitting the truth while somehow also shoehorning a pitch for the new Silverado in their response is just... mind numbing.

Guys, all you need to make a commercial is take any of the abundant footage that already exists of a Camaro 1LE tearing up the track. Put some Def Leppard or something in the background. Have the J.D. Powers guy exit the car at the end in a mohawk, a vest, and sunglasses. He'll turn around, tip his shades down, and say, "No sales pitch needed here." Then end a zoom-in of the engine bay while the motor twists under its own torque revving, focusing in on the "Camaro" text of the engine cover.

They're still advertising the Cruze even though production ends in 2.5 months. I think it is Chevy's 4th biggest seller.

Meanwhile dodge released yet another cool Challenger spot:


At least Chevy actually shows the base Camaro and not the fully loaded model when talking about under $26k cars

Snaggletooth in the middle of the pack, looking like the ugliest kid at an inbred family reunion. *sigh*

Not exactly the bedfellows a Camaro should have with it in an ad. Kind of sad actually.

Nice commercial...sadly Chevy still doesn't get it and Dodge still outselling Chevy Camaro. I suggest Chevy hire Dodge to do their marketing.
