When I see an ad like this, it all starts to make sense why the Volt isn’t selling very well. This commercial makes it look like you’re going to be hassled by idiots wherever you go, and you’ll have to answer everyone’s stupid questions about the car: awesome! Oh, and everyone’s going to take a bite out of your hamburgers if you own that car, too. Lame.
Or maybe it’s better to do this than say: “It’s the Solyndra of cars!”
But surely there must be some way to sell this car, right? I thought it was supposed to be good! Can’t they make it seem like it’s good?
Here’s the ad:
I was hoping Chevy ads would start to become partisan like that Ford ad, and so the Chevy ads could attack Republican policies and say President Obama is great. Then maybe all ads could just become a proxy war between government subsidized companies and independent companies, and they could switch off attacking political parties depending on who’s in change of the government at the time. That would be awesome! Then we could outlaw political ads and donations, and it wouldn’t make any difference!
BTW: Here’s how to do it better (but I haven’t seen this one on TV; I found it on YouTube looking for the above ad):
This is much better. And “Chevrolet: Driving Our World Forward” is way better than “Chevy Runs Deep” for this type of thing.
