And I was yet again, shocked.

Saturday, I'm watching the Jays/Yankees game on a Canadian Sports Network, and they go to commercial.

Black screen comes up and a familiar song start playing. I say to myself, I know this song.

AC/DC's Back in Black, played to highlight reel of Chevrolet's four-door Cavalier.

This was all I could think of:

I'm not sure what my exact quote was, but "You gotta be f*ck*ng kidding me" is pretty close.

Darth, you'll know they're reading the board when you buy your 2006 Corvette and there's a tiny inscription on the non pop-up headlights that says, "Go to Hell, Darth. We like this idea better."

I just read the thread attached at the top of this post about what song would you use in a Camaro commercial and I always thought "Hello Again" by the Cars would be good for reintroducing the Camaro. Just wanted to throw that in since I missed the original thread. And IMO AC/DC should not be used in a Cavalier commercial.

If AC/DC means Cavalier and Led Zep means Cadillac.... what the heck is GM going to do for a real performance car like the C6 Corvette?

Jeff,

What kinda highlight reel is there for a 4-door Cavalier? Must've been a short commercial!

Ha! Highlights like a Mets optional practice.

Well first off, it was black...obviously. And it was hot doggin' around in a parking garage with a wet surface. At the end, it spun into position like a hand brake on a snowy road.

It would have looked great if my eyes were closed.
