4th gen was pretty well advertised with it first came out. Remember it was the official car of rock and roll. It just didn't last long enough.

Re: Why the big Hush Hush on the Camaro

There was even an LS1 Z commercial...remember? When the red Z drove up through the pack of bikers? That was the last Camaro commercial done. The Musclecar Lives Trans Am commercial lasted a couple more years.

Re: Why the big Hush Hush on the Camaro

How many Mustang commercials do you remember seeing in the 90's?
How many Vette commercials are there?
86, 87 Buick GN commercials?

Re: Why the big Hush Hush on the Camaro

I thought that the Cobalt SS commercial with it bumping the vette was quite good, Btw now that I think about it the other day, The other day I same one of the "American Revolution comercials" with all the SS cars, and I thought to myself how good would that Lineup be with A camaro at the fore-front (Camaro, Monte Carlo, Impala, Malibu, Maxx, Cobalt, Silverado, Trailblazer) Im probably fogetting 1 or 2?

I have an entire video tape of commercials for the 4th gen Camaro, but there weren't any after 1998.

Re: Why the big Hush Hush on the Camaro

I liked the TA commercial where it ate the car in front of it, that was pretty good

Re: Why the big Hush Hush on the Camaro

These are the 4th gen comercials I remember:

The kids in the bedroom guessing the cars by the sound of the engine.

A comercial slamming the Mustang by saying "maybe it doesn't need one" in reference to an alarm system. Translation: Why would anyone want a Mustang.

I vaugely remember a comercial with a red Camaro "convertable?" cruising along the ocean.
