GM, we need to talk. Your new cars are good, you've got interesting tech features and your quality's competitive. Crap like this Chevy Volt dance undermines all your efforts. We're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you.

wtf was that holy no.

moto-camaro · 12-14-2009, 03:54 PM

oh my good god on high. whoever thought of that marketing campaign should be destroyed. GM reads these boards.... i hope they read this thread. get Fbodfather to dispatch the suburbans, and destroy all evidence of that; that's the kind of ridiculous video that goes viral, and gets posted on a billion peoples facebook pages.

Dammit GM...

*Mindz* · 12-14-2009, 04:02 PM

The only good thing about that routine was how fast the guy was going with his head spin. And the they didn't hit each other.

Dance moves are completely the wrong type for that slow music, I would have much rather seen riverdance. Not only is it more impressive and would draw more attention, they could tap to the beat of it and the noise would draw the crowds. Otherwise, just have the music playing with no dancers.

The song lyrics aren't bad, just a bad combination of dance and music genre.

Hey pretend the guy is not in there and hit the mute button and it's a much better video..lol

MikesZ · 12-14-2009, 04:12 PM

WTH? Is that for real or a hoax? It CAN'T be an actual GM promo!

FenwickHockey65 · 12-14-2009, 04:16 PM

If I recall correctly, Lutz was just recently moved from his position as head of marketing.

Damn. That went downhill fast.

2Fast4U2010 · 12-14-2009, 04:16 PM

Damm I'm glad to have a few beers in me, to watch what the future brings us. It's good to have my V8 now ha!

meanmike · 12-14-2009, 04:20 PM

That's right up there with that fruity Camaro commercial they made, and you know what I mean by fruity.

ryftz · 12-14-2009, 04:31 PM

LOL that's what happens when the marketing guys deal with budget cuts!

Blownhotrodder · 12-14-2009, 04:37 PM

I just dont even know what to say about that. Wow.

coolman · 12-14-2009, 04:39 PM

I like to be able to buy what those guys were smoking when they came up with that. That really makes me want to run right out and buy a volt, ha ha.

Kalenn · 12-14-2009, 04:43 PM

Sent the link to my wife because she is interested in the Volt. I'll just cut and paste her response.

"Really?! Are you serious? What the FRAK was that?!"

Yeah... I think that just about covers it.
