What’s with these terrible commercials? Do any of these actually convince people to buy cars or that their vehicles for the last 15 years weren’t mostly piles of shit? ---

Yes. At least more than stupid fucking gas mileage commercials or toyota venza ones about “cool parents” ---

I’m a GM fan so I don’t mind the commercials, even though they’re a bit shady. I also went to school for marketing but you don’t need to pass the advertising class to understand they’re just trying to pull on peoples’ heartstrings. The first commercial you posted I think does a good job at that. Instead of giving people reasons and facts why they should buy the car (the central route to persuasion) they’re using the peripheral route to persuasion (associating the brand with things that will bring out your emotions). At the end of the day I think we all need to remember this: No one writes songs about Volvos! ---

chevy’s target demographic for the camaro: old men who think they’re still in the game and are “with it” ![http://assets.diylol.com/hfs/ea1/ae6/691/resized/storage-wars-dave-meme-generator-yeeeeeeeeeeeeeep-c59f93.jpg](http://assets.diylol.com/hfs/ea1/ae6/691/resized/storage-wars-dave-meme-generator-yeeeeeeeeeeeeeep-c59f93.jpg) sounds about right. ---

It was an extremely obvious attempt at it, so much that it became cheesy. The only thing I can’t figure out in the commercial is why does the entire family have to wear canadian tuxedos? Did they borrow the wardrobe from GM poster boy Leno? ---

Looks like Chevy knows the ads suck too: > A year after Chief Marketing Officer Joel Ewanick joined the company and overhauled its advertising, GM is looking to reinvigorate its “Chevy Runs Deep” ad campaign because some of the creative work has not resonated strongly with consumers and some ads don’t explain what the slogan means, Ewanick said. > **[Detroit Local News - Michigan News - Breaking News - detroitnews.com](https://www.detroitnews.com)** > > Get the latest local Detroit and Michigan breaking news and analysis , sports and scores, photos, video and more from The Detroit News. ---

> and some ads don’t explain what the slogan means It doesn’t take a marketing guru to know that they are trying to say Chevy vehicles and their owners have an emotional attachment. The issue is, you can’t tell someone that in a commercial. ---
