Yup, that was pretty bad-***. That brought a nice smile to my face. I can't wait to see it on TV.

I would have much preffered a 5th gen Camaro doing that spin around and back in move over the SSR They could have at least done it with the supercharged Cobalt

It was cool how the old Chevelle comes by the trailer at the end... obviously, most of us here would have enjoyed seeing aan odl Camaro... but cool nonetheless!

Yeah it was cool, but IMO since the video opened with a Corvette it should have closed with one. A red vert '69 L88 Stingray would have been perfect

Has Chevy become a victim of the internet like music artists?

What I mean is, you know how artists sometimes have to push up the release dates of their albums when their music gets pirated on the internet?

I thought Chevy wanst going to show the Vette till January. I wonder if all of these pictures on the internet influenced them to rlease this commercial early. Also, I wonder if that picture released earlier, showing the Vette on the trailer was from the filming of this commercial.

I'm assuming its all a big game. If GM didn't want pictures to get out they would have kept it under cover until the autoshow instead of strapping the car nice and high on top of the car carrier for all of San Fran to see. Not to mention letting all the magazines that have photos of it. You'd be foolish to think it wouldn't leak out somehow.

One of chevys best commercials in a long time. Sure would have been nice to see a 5th on that car carrier though *sigh*. Good things come to those who wait right?

Very cool! I too would have rather seen a first-gen Camaro at the end just to give us a little hint, but still the best GM commercial in a while.

Maybe in the same way that putting a Camaro in the commercial would hint about the future, the Chevelle in the commercial does the same?............................maybe?........... ......................or it could be in there for other reasons.

I don't know about you, but I think maybe the '66 Chevelle "SS" convertible is some kind of hint...
