Question New Hemi Commercial

Anybody seen the commercial for the new Hemi trucks coming out? My brother said it has a HD Ram towing a 68 Charger. A car pulls up next to him, and the guy says something to the tune of "That thing got a Hemi in it? The guy in the truck says Yup and takes off. At the next stop light, he says, 'So does the one in back", referring to the Charger. Now why can't GM do something like that? All they have is the lame Overdrive junk with spinning cars on a white background. Anybody fixing to get one of these new Hemis? I'm a Chevy guy, but you gotta love those Elephants.

GM advertises like they have Hyundai's heritage. Why does it seem like they can't do anything the "right way" sometimes? Sounds like Ford and Dodge get it. Maybe they're trying to think up more things to do with a Grand Am/Vibe for a day or ways to "make change" out of an Avalanche.

Definatlly agree on the Caddy part. Incorporating the 60s Caddys into the the new ads with the Zep is cool as hell Ive heard nothing but positive feedback about them. Maybe they'll take an ad back to the 1913 era when Caddy was THE major innovator in automotive tech

The Vibe ad with the DJ isnt bad, but at the end you're still like "its a vibe." The absolute worst were the $35 budget "what would you do with a pontiac" ads. Jesus Christ they should shoot whoever designed those 40 times. I think they shot those with super 8.

The overdrive ads were cool for like a few weeks, now its just "wow, they're definatlly spinning."

I like the Cadillac commercials a lot. Playing Zeplin with the line up sure sends out an image about Cadillac. The styling is setting apart the cars from others on the road, helping its resurgance. Now the commercials stand out and distinguish Cadillac from these other boring, drab luxury car commercials. Two thummbs up on the ads to Cadillac. Cadillac will be the force that gives GM the momentum to resurrect performance in the next few years.

That Dodge commercial was cool. Most of theirs are.

Then you have GM commercials. With the exception of the afformentioned Cadillac ads, they are dull and boring. A Vibe spins around. A Silverado spins around. Taz drives a Monte Carlo. Woooo-eeeeee!

Caddy's line of "Break Through" commercials are fantastic.

They have an 'edge'... just like the Arts & Sciences design theme

I did forget to mention the Caddy commercials. Those are sweet. Love the Zepplin and the old Caddy with the new. I figured if one division of GM can get them right, why can't they all? I'm actually looking forward to the debut of the Hemi Dakota, those will absolutly fly, regardless if its a truck. I may have to get in line and pick one up if possible.

Wasn't it last year Chevy had those heritage commercials, with the 1st gen Camaro at the drag strip? I liked those, but of course now something like that would be dumb, unless they showed something that was still alive. Maybe the Vette?
