GMC Trucks: "We are professional grade."

Well obviously, I certainly hope so, if you're going to be mass-producing
something that complex...They ain't woodworkers, which sounds like where that slogan belong

With rationale like this, it's no wonder people jump on everything you say. If you see yourself working professionaly in some kind of press/news capacity, you better get your head striaght.
I think his logic does qualify him for some Chrysler marketing work though.

Soul food is fried chicken and greens among other things?...least in the south that is what soul food restaurants sell.

That has got to be the lamest example of backpedaling I have ever seen.

Try thinking about what you're typing next time. Say to yourself, "will these bigoted remarks I am about to type be offensive to any minority that reads this board?"

Well I find this to be a miracle upon itself given your imfamously poor grammar.

Oh my god, he doesnt like Pontiac's catchline, stop the presses and everyone get upset.

I dont like it either because it doesnt fit at all. Nothing says fuel for the soul like a Grand Am doing ebrake powerslides.

Chevy's We'll be there never grew on me. Esp when they wernt there lol.

The whole bill ford on tv thing got old, along with their inspiration F150 commericals. I think that was because it wasnt supposed to appeal to me though.

I do like Caddy's "Break on though." They're bad *** right now, cant do anything wrong

There I edited it so that it is only could remotely be possibly seen as offensive by my own nationality. Will you please get a grip and stop trying to make a montain out of a mole hill?

I like the Pontiac commercials... but I don't like any of their cars.

Chevy's "we'll be there" would have been okay, if they kept the Camaro... besdies that, I'm not really hot on any of their cars so, so for now, they still aren't there.

I kinda like the Nissan commercials, althought I'm not motivated to get their cars..

The Buick commericals are confusing with flashing/blurring screens and echo'd voices.. they must confuse old people.

The Jag commercials seem to try to hard to act "high and fancy"

I like that Lincoln LS commerical with it ripping up a dirt back road, boasting it has better performacne #'s than a BMW 540, and a shot of a 540 covered in dust...

The only three commercials I've seen for the Camaro was the kid identifying cars by sound, the two kids on the internet pretending to be some older guy, and the one with the bikers letting the Camaro go by.. Never seen the Jimi Hendrix one.. anyone have a copy of that?

I like Porsche's ad campaign. I like how they use the engine sounds. Fuel for the Soul and Break Through are my other favorites. All of the truck adds beat me down.

i forgot about the one with the kid and the car sounds!that one was great,never saw the internet one.does anyone remember the Z28 radio ad where you hear the guy get in the car and rev up the LT1,then instead of driving it,he says "i'll take it".or the one about the countries of the world being so old and boring and then it shows america being only 200 years young and full of ***-kicking life and shows a bunch of shots of awesome camaros.damn,all these fond memories of the f-body just makes me hate GM even more.dumbasses."here ford,take the sports coupe market,we give up"....idiots.whoops,got off on a rant.
