this might be a little long, but i need to vent here.
ALL FUCKING GM COMMERCIALS
this is coming from a very disapointed consumer who doesnt like having his intellegence insulted.
first off, Led Zeplin as the theme music for Cadilac cars and Cadilac SUV's is just bullshit. Trying to make it seem as if people that buy Escalades are into "rockin" is nonesense. those commercials for those cars with that Zeplin song just irk me.
second, what theyre saying and what the truth is are two different things:
they say - "we are proud to give everyone our emplyee discount"
they mean - "we are slashing prices because we are going bankrupt because no one is buying our BORING line up of cars and our gamble that everyone would want to buy a truck or an SUV is blowing up in our face."
they say - "we are proud to have 50 vehicles that get 29 mpg."
they mean - "you can choose from 50 boring vehicles that wont be worth 1/10 of what you paid for it in two years. we have literally at least 3 of each and every car, but with a different name. and we do not believe in exciting, yet affordable performance vehicles. we will leave that to FORD. however we will slap SS badges on a few of our 4 and 6 cylinder front wheel drives, and we'll even throw an LS1 and slap GTO badges on a Grand Prix. what could be cooler than paying $40,000 for a bastardization of the original muscle car and getting your tail whipped by a '93-'02 Z28, for which we never thought would be a good idea to advertise the fact that the '93-'02 Camaro/Firebird enjoyed a MAJOR PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGE over it's rival, the Ford Mustang GT, nor do we recognize that while the Camaro/Trans Am were not huge market sellers, they were basically rolling billboards that say "buy GM."
American Revolution, my ass.
