Yes, small dark grey text over light grey, in an area that you're not really focusing on. An excellent way to ensure that everybody who sees the ad notices the disclaimer.
Certainly much clearer and more attention grabbing than having the voiceover guy explicitly say 'This is the Escala concept car. It will inspire the next generation Cadillac designs'I mean, who pays attention to whats being said in a commercial vs seeking out the fine print?

I like the Ford, but I think it shouldn't be in GTLM/GTE. It is pushing the envelope, which is good, but it's pretty far from a GT car. It reminds me of the SCG003 that's a GT3 spec racecar but it produces downforce like a prototype.

The parts that come across as really fanboy criticism to me are how it isn't made in the USA by USA workers (corvette is), price (corvette price), availability to the common human (see price/application process) and the BOP argument. But I think the majority of his argument can be verified.

Consumer Reports picked the Chevrolet Cruze as the best compact sedan.
Consumer Reports. Over the Corolla. And the Civic. Consumer Reports. Hell has frozen over.

Didn't they rate the new Impala extremely well a few years ago too? Something along the lines of 'best car ever'. I noted it because it was unusual to hear them give praise to a domestic, but also disregarded it because its still Consumer Reports.

Yup. They actually still have it rated as best full size sedan.
Is it really Consumer Reports coming around or are they just worried their bias and irrelevance are becoming too obvious?

I believe this is the result of Chevy stepping up their game. I for one am interested in the Cruze diesel hatchback with 6 speed manual when it becomes available to replace my daily driver. So yeah, I think it is a legit win based on merit. Congrats to the men and women of GM that made a great car. My 2 cents. |

We now have the Buick Encore AWD as our "Family Car", it's no Impala by any means but it serves the purpose.

This guy is an angry tool. If another car other than the Ford GT's had been winning (let's just make up some fantasy Porsche that has a cost of $225,000) He'd want to make some rule saying that for every $10,000 over $100,000 MSRP you'd have to add 20lbs of weight "to make things fair".
