Anyone see the '06 Impala TV ad?

I thought it was kinda cool. It shows the chrome Impala emblem. You hear the LS4 burble to life. Then the Impala (in the emblem) starts leaping through the ring (in the emblem). And the announcer says "with available 303 hp smallblock V8"...or something like that.

Ok, doesn't sound that good as I explain it, but I thought it was neat. :p

Yep, I've seen 3 different variants of said commercial now.

Each time I see one I find myself yelling "SHOW THE CAR! SHOW THE CAR!!!" at the TV. :D

It is definitely an original idea though. :)

Never seen it, but now im eager to :)

you got any type of link to a streaming one off the net'?

Interesting ad but I see it as a horrible failure NOT showing the actual car. :rolleyes:

I thought that at first, too... but I assume it's just a "teaser" ad... I'd guess we'll see a continuation of it soon, where the car is shown.

We're talking about the ad, and we all remember it, so at least it stuck in our heads... mission accomplished. ;)

Maybe they were worried it would be confused with a Camry or Accord..

I saw it as well very cool commerical IMO I hope they promote the new Monte some more as well. Though GM IMO has been on a roll with TV ads as of late so this dont suprize me as much but hope to see the commericals more though.

That's exactly what I was thinking after not seeing the car.
"hmm, might be a series of commercials...."
Sure enough, 3 commercials later came another different one.

They know what they're doing. :)

:lol:

wait, aren't these on sale already? I just saw one a couple of days ago around my house here in Fremont. if they are on sale, they should show the car in the ads.

Ya, they are at dealerships right now... driving home, a local dealer had about 8 lined up in front of their place...

They are just arriving though, so I think the timing for the ads is perfect...

For example, I thought the Oprah G6 promotion was great, and I thought the Solstice Apprentice promotion was great... the BIG problem was... you couldn't get either car at the time, and I think you lose a lot of the thunder from the promotion... with this, at least the cars are ready to go... plus, they have only been there a week or two I would think... so most people haven't seen them anyway. :)

Saw a new Impala today when I was pulling out of campus. Looks WAY better in person. It's bigger and meaner looking than the photos lead on. Very nice in my opinion. And it wasn't even an SS either.

Just watched a New commercial while watching CSI.

A guy is walking in an open parking lot towards his car.. well he looks up and there is a CG Impala staring right at him (almost Terminatorish) Very cool.. then you see the Impala SS hiding behind a few and it reveals a flattering glimpse and the anouncer mentioning the small block 303HP motor.

Very cool commercial although I feel they should have shown more of the interior to highlight GM's improvments.. perhaps they are forthcoming..

Good job GM.. now advertise the Cobalt SS and HHR the same way and reap the benefits

I saw one durring the Miami-FSU game tonight. Thought it was pretty good. Im almost sure the one I saw had the car in it. I also liked the Pontiac one.

Saw my first one last night...that commercial with the running Impala is cool :D

I've seen 2 SSs on the road already...silver and black. :bow: Nice job, Chevy. Now just give the SS the wheels it deserves!

And it wasn't even an SS either.I think we'll see a lot of people making similar remarks in the near future. I've been trying to tell people this since the pictures of the car were first released...it is prettier and more "expensive" looking in person. :)

No question it looks more expensive. The problem is, as I've said before I think the LS, LT and LTZ are spot on...but the SS needs some more visual cache to it. However, admittedly I have seen 2 on the road so far, and both were SSs. Apparently, the general public is feeling differently, which makes me happy :)

Each time I see one I find myself yelling "SHOW THE CAR! SHOW THE CAR!!!" at the TV. :DI did the same thing, until I actually saw one. IMO, the '06 Impala is even less distinctive than the '05, which really only had the taillights going for it.

Nothing against the car itself -- I just think it lacks visual character.

OMG that car looks so nice! I haven't seen any on the streets yet, but the local chevy house has a couple and they are mean lookin! :)

:bow:

Saw the one with all the "Impalas" around it, then the guy starts it with the remote start. They atleast said something about the "remarkable 28mpg the V8 gets." They need to keep up the advertising.

remarkable 28mpg the V8 gets

That needs to be put on a flag, and given to every chevy dealer to wave above the Impy and MC SS.

I just saw this ad last night for the first time... very cool! The CGI was excellent I thought... really made me notice it.

just seen it last night!

all i can say is.. :metal:

GM :thumb:

its better then the G6 comercials where they never said the automaker...

I remember for a good month I wondered who made the G6

But it looks pretty damn close to a Grand Prix, GM styling is pretty distinctive of being a GM :bow:

It must be ringing a bell with alot of people . Ive seen more 06 Impala SS's on the road than the lower models . Ive seen 4-5 Impala SS's . The white one looked VERY nice and upscale , the blue and black ones looked mean . I did about 500 miles worth of driving today from Inday to chicago and back home and it looks like its gonna be a pretty popular car . I saw SEVERAL 06 impalas already . Quite surprising , its a much much better looking car in the flesh . Kudos to chebby :)

You know, I saw an 06 one day, it was gone the next (and this is a dealership I drive by everyday). Surprising that somebody would pick it up for more than an employee discounted 05.

but the G6 comercial was the car racing around on some windy road, giving you glimpse looks if I got a good enough look I would have seen the emblem, but it didnt give me a chance to see what it was, but it did get me to think "G6" and what was it and who made it... but I didnt know those answers... I didnt even know for sure if it was advertising a car
