Default New corvette commercial

I've always thought the Corvette to be one of those vehicles that needs no advertisement. People that want a Corvette probably don't need a commercial to convince them, right?

Some people probably have the money but could use some swaying. I doubt that an expensive advertising campaign would be cost effective though.

I think it will help. Actually hearing and seeing that car doing what it's built to do could push someone into buying it. Not everyone sees it in action like that.

It seemed like it was targeted to the older guys, which is 90% of its buyers so......

I like the Corvette and It's still one of my dream cars. Corvette, in my opinion, is one of the symbols of America. It's also the biggest bang for da buck!!!!!!!

Awesome commercial! I'm very proud to be an American man!!!!

Honestly GM has really stepped up their stuff as of late.
If I had the income to support a ZR1 right now it would be a no brainer JUST for the opportunity to go build my own engine at their facility. It's a 5.8k option but at 108k that's chump change!

I would still never drive a Chrysler product. Ford has come light years and GM is catching up slowly.

I'll ponder Chrysler again only after they fully merge with Fiat.
Ford's been lucky, they got to sit idle and get praised for it. Their cars still suck, they just just didn't rob the pubic during the "bailouts" and managed to prevent drivers form accelerating (at all.) Good jorb there FROD
I lost respect for GM about 10 years ago, and after the merger I will never even consider buying a government subsidized vehicle. However I make an exception for the ZR1 on many levels. Mostly the DIY engine kit as mentioned above. Now as soon a Ferrari, Lotus and Noble figure this out Chevy can kiss it.
