ok everyone, I want to hear your thoughts on what you would like to see for the new camaro commercials.

I saw dragon and some others say some things in another thread and figured Id see what all of you want.

Spike.

I'm not gonna take all the credit - all I did was add something.

Since Firebird had a mythological creature, I felt the dragon was the only fitting 'being' worth of the name Camaro.

I even had this commercial thought up. heh It showed a horse (Mustang) running across a vast field. Every few seconds something metallic would flash across the screen. On the final 'flash' of metallic scales (you can now tell it's scales in this flash) the screen goes blank and you hear the horse screaming (nothing too horrible, it has to be on tv ya know lol) and some slight sounds of what could be a scuffle. (Hey dragons get hungry and eat mustangs occasionally. hehe)

One more 'flash' and the dragon is 'frozen' in place with the word CAMARO emblazoned in front of it (sideview of the dragon in flight). A highly sylized dragon image integrated with the word Camaro was the symbol I envisioned.

Or some such thing. It was just me with a crazy idea way back when. LOL

And, I can't quite put my finger on it...but I like that Dragon idea...not sure why I like it so much

Have you ever seen that new Q-motor oil commercial, where the oil-horses are galloping around the Ferrari? I could see some dragons flying around the Camaro in the same way...or, better, continue with your Idea, and instead of staying as an animal - the Dragon fluidly turns into the Car, then your "CAMARO"

That would be freakin Wicked!

Very nice idea, I like your imagination. More over the dragon carries mystical values, and secret yet to discover. It's a huge magic monster roaring and breathing fire that could fit very well with the Camaro, nothing to do with a snake based on this.

i like these commercials where they act like the cobalt is the corvettes little brother in a way. So just take out the cobalt and put in a camaro. Ofcourse we need some other commercials with some more adrenaline!

If it were an Eastern Dragon MAYBE, but I personally don't care for Eastern Dragons.

When I think of a dragon I think powerfully built and winged, not serpentine.

And this was my response in the other thread to Dragoneye's response. LOL

I would like to see is the following appear in white over a black screen with a voiceover reading it
"In 2002 we made a mistake.

This should make up for it"

Then show some driving shots and read off some specs

AirGoya · 09-16-2007, 03:37 PM

ya know these are some really good ideas. We should trademark these ideas or something.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 09-16-2007, 05:31 PM

Hm, forget trademarking, I want GM to use them. Somebody find Lutz! or one of the heads of Marketing...

Now, I may be burying myself...

But I'm not one of those kreepy Medieval-obsessed people. Okay? I just think the idea of dragons is kind cool. having said that - I hate the eastern interpretation of the Dragon.

When I think 'Dragon' I think this:

*CamaroSpike23* · 09-16-2007, 06:06 PM

hmmmmm... to compound on the dragon idea(s) have a herd of horses runnin (scared) in a salt flat away from a mountain with them merging together to form a mustang. then the sky turns dark and cloudy and lightning starts striking the ground as the mustang tries to evade it. then you see the dragon appear from the sky soaring down towards the mustang jaws open then the camera zooms in on the dragons mouth it gets closer and closer. then fire erupts from its mouth and when the smoke clears, all thats left is the Camaro. It "burps" and drives off towards the mountains.

Spike.

Yes, THAT is what I think of when I hear 'dragon'.

Mustang had best watch it's tail, 'cause that's gonna be nipping at it's hooves.
