Last time I was in California, English was not a very commonly spoken language...lucky my wife and I confined our stay to Disneyland otherwise I would have bought an English to Spanish dictionary!!!

The Tijuana experience was also interesting... first time I' was ever been offered drugs in my life... and I didn't even have to know Spanish to understand what the guy was saying... valium, ecstacy,...

That would be cool. The concept could be black on black, and they play the Darth Vader theme just as it is rolled out...

Other suggestions:
Montley Crue's Kick Start My Heart
Billy Ocean Get Out of My Dreams Get Into My Car
Nickleback Feelin Way Too Damn Good

That would be funny. Hell, Darth Vader could step out of the car after the theme started playing.

"Without Me" by Eminem

Just think of how it starts off ...

"Guess who's back ... back again ... guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, nah nah nah ..."

... I think it'll be awesome!! I'm not even joking . If you don't know the song, I found a sample clip on this page (scroll down to "Eminem - song clips" and click on the one for "Without Me"). Maybe Eminem isn't everyone's favorite artist, but it may draw attention from a younger crowd as well??
This is a good idea in my opinion, however not be appropiate for an entrance bec u want a real song for that. however to begin a commercial for it, that would be awesome. GM should listen to us and maybee they wouldnt be falling on their face.

Re: Intro Music

Blah, I wasn't implying that you should know Spanish.. I really don't care about that... I was just stating how songs that are blatantly wrong/stupid make it okay for everyone else to do...

I actually went to Australia a few years ago... I loved it there... in Sydney there were quite a few asian girls... I love asian girls

Re: Intro Music

Just a random thought, but it seems GM has done very well at pushing the "bad boy" image of the F-bod cars... but isn't that one reason they weren't selling so well? How many people have passed over the Camaro in the past because of it's reputation of being a kid's car or something the stereotypical redneck would drive?

I think they would be better advised to sell the heritage aspects such as style, sound, and GMs new emphasis on quality and durability. I doubt there are many people who are unaware a 400+ hp sports car can spin the tires- no real reason to show it in a commercial. How many people think of Camaros as cheap, poorly built, but fast cars? Fast still goes without saying; I'd recommend GM focuses on selling the car's quality, safety, and even the fuel efficiency of the modern V8s. Marketing must educate consumers and counter the misconceptions rather than reinforce the same old idea of "let's dump s'more gas in this `ere Camaro and burn the tires off in the driveway while cranking music the parents/neighbors hate." I'm sure it will be too good of a car to continue using the same old message to sell it.

Re: Intro Music

They can have different commercials, for different folks...I also doubt too many people don't know, how much more efficient EFI is now. But I'm sure they will showcase the DOD /MPG side of the car too.

Re: Intro Music

I kinda think that for a V6 commercial targeted obviously at women that "Drive My Car" by The Beatles would work out pretty good, its an easy goin song and popular
And for the Z28 platform maybe something like Motley Crue "Too Fast For Love" or "Wild Side"...just a thought

Re: Intro Music

Well, I am a country boy and older than some of you guys and girls.

I think the Allman brothers "Midnight Rider" would be good intro music and good background for a commercial.

I also think George Thoroughgood's "Bad to the Bone" would work for the intro music.

Re: Intro Music

Of course, as much as I would like to see Darth Vader step out of the concept, with the words, "A car so bad, even Darth Vader would drive it" across the screen, I think that it needs to be simple.

Example: I know this thread is for intro music but here goes.

Room is pitch black. You hear the rumble of a V8 through duals (seen the pics?) Tiny rev, maybe to 2000-2500 rpms. Little more rumble, then a full on rev, 6000 to redline-ish. little more rumble, lights come on, car does a burnout right there on stage, then pulls into the rotating circle. "Introducing your all new 200* Camaro." blank screen. then "Mustang who?"

i was thinking about Midnight Rider last night after watching Devil's Rejects for the 16th time. it wouldn't be to out there, and it has a really easy flow to it. you might be on to something.
