Why doesn't gm do something like this? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I honestly can't figure out why Ford is promoting the 2010 Mustang so much, like it's all that different from the 2009 model. They slightly changed the front fascia and headlights and think that it's a big difference. Maybe there's something I'm missing....

GM said they've decreased their marketing budget this year, but a good chunk of what's left is committed to the Camaro and new Equinox...Within months, we should hopefully be seeing some kickass commercials and magazine ads.

2010 Mustang still has the Ford Pinto leg rubbing brake lever....

They need a commercial for that ugly and unspired dog of a car. It looks like someone barfed random Ford reject designs from the dumpster.

Simple, it's not that much of an improvement so they need to market the heck out of it to convince people it's the next big thing. The Camaro on the other hand sells itself (I know I know not really, but it won't need to be as convincing, just the facts should cover it).

maybe because GM is broke and making the car perfect is better money spent than a fancy website.

Easy, Because they are not Ford, they are better.

There is a reason Ford is doing the best out of the big three....:roll:

(Not to say I'm not getting a Camaro)

you really think they are doing the best? all they did was mortage everything including the blue oval while the credit markets were still flowing.

GM has promoted the Camaro quite heavily considering it's not for sale yet and the first however many thousand off the production line already have buyers.
