Re: Advertising....
i posted this back in July..........
no words, no type. just have a new mustang sitting at a light, 09 camaro pulls up next to it, and the guy in the stang just sits there and stares as the light turns green and the maro pulls away, then have people start honking at him. go to black screen, put a big red bowtie on it. the end.
how's that?

I dunno, something that you could see being made into a full length movie. Whatever it is, it better give me a boner.

Not all this Black Camaro in a dark alley revving and burning out trying to intimidate everything that walks the dark lord is your master hail Satan type stuff.
Would I think it's cool? sure, but almost to the point of being corny and emberassing me to drive my new Camaro cause it's the car of choice for the modern day mullet man.

Ok, Another idea by me!
It starts off playing ac/dc "TNT" (great song for this car) and a tornado of fire, as the tornado starts to lift back up into the sky it leaves a bright red Camaro to drive off. Then the speaker says "Taking the world (or nation) by storm..."
Eh eh?? yea Im just brainstorming :P

All the guys stop talking, all noises cease, even their engines cut out all at once and look towards where the sound came from (looking towards the camera). They look at eachother for a moment and it happens again, "vvvrrruummmmmm", they all stand back in reaction to the sound, cars with their hoods open immidiately shut.
The camera finally is pointed towards the direction they are looking at, and from a steamy, smokey alley, a car comes out of the smoke, but the camera snaps back to the men's faces right before the car is revealed. They are in shock and awe at what they see, only it is not revealed to the viewer.
Fade to white.
Text reads: "The Muscle Car Lives On....
10/16/09" (random date, possibly a shadowy Camaro emblem in the background)
What do you think?

Thats a kick *** idea.
It would also be cool to mix maybe all the generations up. Like on a famous race track. Everytime it comes around a new corner it changes into the next generation or something. The background can even go from old timey black and white to current color. I think that would be cool.

Seriously, if they do an all out advertising campaign revolved around the Camaro being the car of choice for Billy Badass it's going to stick the car with a negative stigma the last generation couldn't shake and we'll be back at square one.
The advertising should be exciting, but kept classy.

Re: Advertising....
Some of you guys are retarded. 
I like NewbieWar's heritage-commercial idea. I'm not really fond of the shock-and-awe stuff because I see those ads in import tuner magazines. Some lame-*** slammed Civic with ridiculous fittings, a hot girl dry-humping said Civic, and a festival around the car gawking at it was the first thing on wheels they've ever seen. I mean, I don't read those mags all the time. Only when I'm done reading the HP Chevy/Pontiac and Hot Rodding mags at Barnes and Noble.

Re: Advertising....
I posted one of my ideas back in 2004 when we had a similair thread. Here are some more.
I definately think there should be at least one heritage commercial featuring all of the generations (not just the first).
I also think it would be cool to show a parking lot full of modified imports all standing around bragging about their cars. Then they all stop and watch as a new Camaro pulls in and parks. Cut back to the import drivers as they say to each other "well it's getting kind of late I better go home" and " Yeah mom gets mad if I'm home after 10". Cut to black with the script Camaro.
Another one that I thought they should show back in the 4th gen was Some a Camaro and a mustang pull up to a stop light . The light turns green and the two cars launch away from the light and the camaro morphs into the Camaro Funny car an blows the other car away. Cut back to the guy in the mustang shaking his head coming out of a dream. Show the back of the two cars as the mustangs turn signal comes on. ( the choice of the mustang here could actually be pretty dangerous as the Mustang Funny cars pretty regularly used to beat the Camaro's but any car will work)
Also a commercial where the Camaro is entering a series of turns and morphs into a trans-am car and cuts throught the turns engine roaring.
