Dear Sir,

My name is Mike xxxxxxx and I'm the xxxxxxx of Broadcast Communications for General Motors.

I've noticed that you have one of GM's embargoed photographs of the 2005 Corvette on your website. Since this image is embargoed until January 10, 2005, I am asking that you remove the image from your site until the embargo is lifted. While I don't expect you to tell me who provided you with the image, I am wondering if you would tell me if you received the image before Noon on Tuesday, November 9.

If there is any confusion regarding usage of GM's embargoed images or if you would like to discuss the situation with me, I can be reached through
email, or by phone at 313-665-xxxx. Thank you for your help with this matter.

Mike xxxxxxxx

if it isnt real, then it's too close of a shop for GM to handle

 

ADMIN EDITED

if gm wants me to take it off my server, they can email me at djhafownz@cofs.net. i never check my email though... just to let you know

 

I find it telling that one of the websites whose administrator complained and complained about people and/or other websites breaking GM embargos was one of the sites hosting the picture...

 

that last pic is what i'm expecting the z06 to look like, but with a longer front facia

 

Didn't I say heads would roll because of this one?

When will these dumb idiots realize the seriousness of these types of things. Sure, they got a good pop in traffic because of it, but is it really worth being shut down, or quite possibly a law-suit. Not to mention, posting the emails sent by General Motors.

They are sure on a roll. Just keep on posting those embargoed images "Enthusiast" websites. Pretty soon, it will be ruined for all of us.

Morons.

 

Damn...so it IS gunna look even MORE like a Viper.... :blah:

 

GM uses photoshop too.

 

i still think they're photoshoped. maybe to keep people from still looking for what the real z06 will look like

 

Looks more like a Ferrari 550 than the new Viper to me. GM has this way of releasing "photos" of their new cars with that soft white lighting and CGI look, the first pics of the GTO and the Cobalt looked exactly the same, which is why I think it's legit.

Looks like a cool *** car, too. Ferrari 550 is a good car to emulate.

 

Also the most recent offical Malibu and G6 GXP photo's have virtually the same setting and also look somewhat photoshopped .

 

I'm quite surprised this site has allowed dj haf's post to stay up unedited.

 

 

But have you noticed that almost all their official pre-production photos look photoshopped in one way or another?

 

GM is allegedly going after message boards that are allowing the public view of images that they do not want to be viewed just yet.

Well, I know it may seem stuffy, but please don't post them here either. We have no desire to **** off the General and we don't want them coming after us. for any reason.

Sorry. Crazy world we live in.
