Okay, I thought the Super Bowl ads were kinda cool... The teeter-totter ramp, the closing door/edge of cliff. But for crying out loud... aren't these a bit overdone now? I must blow through tons of these every time I'm fast-forwarding DVR.

What's amazing is that they actually have to put a disclaimer in on ad like the one for the Edge where it's driving on two wheels on a ledge on a buidling  Yea... Do Not Try This |

...I saw a television commercial for the Dodge Avenger where three cars are on dynos and a lab coated technician starts playing "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple by revving each of the three cars' engines.

Has anybody bothered to think about the use of "American Pie" to sell Chevrolets? You'd think a song about a plane crash would not be appropriate to automobile sales - esp. one with the line "This will be the day that I die" in it. I know it doesn't make ME want to go out and buy a Chevy. Even the line they keep in the commercial: "Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry" sounds like they're referring to a drought.

Replying to: loncray (Mar 09, 2007 7:40 am) I think the whole campaign is about Chevy as an American icon, a classic that has stood the test of time, enough so that popular songs have mentioned them for ages. I've seen a similar Mercedes spot. -juice |
