That made me chuckle.

It's like GM are suggesting, "If you want to buy one of our cars, buy a 1950s model only"

I'd be happy to own any of those old Chevy's. The rubbish the have dished out for the last 30 years is the issue.

Whilst i do agree. Id own one of these bad boys.




Imagine something with an XR GT and an FG GT. Containing something to do with heritage and the GT name. (Yeah my marketing skills are crap )

Not really, having seen them up close the dashes look like they're made out of soap.

Fair call. I was just making sweeping generalisations. And FoMoCo is only now clawing its way back from the very same place.

The big three forgot that they dominated for those decades because they made better products. They then tried to dominate because they were big. In the late 70s GM sold over 50% of the cars sold in the US. With that result how could you think you were doing it wrong.

So many ..... but yes, good advertising I think

[davenl5l]

i like this add for used bmw's http://www.google.com.au/imgres?imgu...9QEwBA&dur=216

That will do a great job at appealing to the 60+ crowd that still buys GM products even though nobody else does. They really just don't get it.

[ivorya]

They should of thanked the American Tax payer for bailing them out.

Then written how they've just borrowed more money from over the world to increase their funds to keep their rubish BB+ rating.

Now GM will have to send memos out to the dealerships on how to deal with customers complaining about not having brand new 57 & 59 Bel-Airs on the lot....
