My $0.02.. Chevrolet is a French word.. if they want to use that then they can eat frogs too.. :mad0260:

Oh wait.. it's coming to mean.. it's the freakin Canadian thought police trying to please Quebec so they don't succeed.. LOL You need to reign your countrymen in Oshawa!

And for the taking it to the next level.. this is what you get when the Government has their paws on you.. and despise all you Rednecks that came up with the term Chevy! Put that in your pipe and smoke it America, it is your own doing! :mad0259:

It's basic branding - focus on the product - Chevrolet and avoid all the other appellations. It is difficult and unwise to stake your claim, plant your flag, and brand a whole bucket full of identities.

Let the various appellations stay in use or disappear...new ones will come all the time. Chevrolet, Chevy, bowtie, "The General", 'Maro (yuck)-the marketing guys aren't going to get caught up in that because its unfocused and has limited appeal.

The brand is everything and the brand is Chevrolet.

Threads like this always remind me how easily the general public can be mislead and manipulated. :facepalm:

Hopefully this does spread to coke and coca cola problems? They actually use both brands on their product. Spend more time on z28 build please.

In the south, its all "Coke." "Hey what kind of Coke do you want?", "A Mountain Dew", "Aw-ight"

"That thing got a HEMI in it?"

lolz

So stupid.

This can't be an effective way to spend bail-out money. From a web marketing standpoint, it's completely idiotic. Keep both URLs, continue to use both names online and in printed media...

As a compromise, use Chevrolet when referring to basic transportation, family (read boring) and luxury vehicles and Chevy for performance/fun vehicles...

Blue Angel 06-10-2010 09:58 PM

I, for one, think it's about damn time they stopped using Chevy - I keep forgetting what it actually stands for. AND they need to start calling our cars ITS correct name - Camarolet.
