i dont drive one but have nothing bad to say about them, have always been a Ford guy, but these commercials do stink, I could be wrong but think I have seen one or more "
real " people not " actors " in more than one of their commercials which would make them actors and bad ones at that and i think they could find a better spokesperson The only manufacturer that spends more time bragging about awards ( that im sure all the other manufacturers have won as well ) than the actual vehicle itself

I am guessing you are as old or older than I (51), commercials are being generated by Mehlennials for Mehlennials to protect the companies marketshare. Chev made a statement something like "we will have 80% E.V.'s by 2025" which means they will be selling new type vehicles Mehlennials by then.
Sad to say it takes almost 15k in rebates to sell a truck and 13k for a SS so marketing is trying to reduce those expenses by selling to suckers and connect emotionally.

I don't like it either and like Chev (currently, have 2 Chev's) also but this is the way vehicles are going.

… Mehlennials …

Gawd, as much as I hate to admit it, I like that one: (click →) "Mehlennials"!
Good word, the web series, maybe not so much.

Haggling down the price used to be a fun sport.....not anymore.....I guess getting a 10 k discount seems like you did a great job, but.....


Found a couple great parodies of the real ppl chevy spots on utoob to make me feel better.....lol

Like a crock.....I can hear it already....one of the non actors in a 2019 Silverado spot will exclaim...."That's a chevy?"

NOPE, Toyota!!!!

Nope, “Mehlennials” was a (click →) neologism, and a good one at that!
On the other hand, see (click →) mispelling! [Gotcha!]

Good catch but it was a double play on the words and on the topic of my response to the post (I know how to have fun too).

I was gonna get a new truck end of the year but damn it 40k??? I paid that for my first house. My 12' is getting rusty though with only 70k miles. Hard to believe I would buy the same thing with results like that....

 

[EXCESSIVE FORCE]

Almost as bad as the " in your face " Ford commercials the way they rapid - fire huge words on the screen......

 

[old abe]

Chevy commercials used to call their trucks "The Heartbeat of America". They can't do that anymore. Took a while before I found out why that stopped.
