> [@Red00WS6](#): > > I dont see whats wrong with ads comparing the competition, if one product is superior its nice to know it for the people that are in the market for that product. If someone bought a less superior product maybe they should have researched better. but the point is there are various ways to go about that. Chevy silverado v8 gets better highway fuel economy than toyota tundra v6. Chevy silverado v8 is manly and gets better highway fuel economy than toyota tundra v6 (which will also make you a sissy if you drive it). They spend more time pointing out flaws in their competitor’s product than they do explaining the merits of their own. ---

> [@fiend540](#): > > The same can be said about a lot of cars and brands. How many people buy a sports car for the image as opposed to its intended purpose? In reality a truck is pretty practical when you compare it to it’s SUV counterpart. Similar mpg, can fit around the same amount of people yet, the utility of an open bed. Difference though is a sports car is still worth while to drive even when on the street and obv not being used quite as it was intended, a truck is not and the people who buy them are stupid. ---

I have seen him bash GM/american cars in every thread know to man. Its a joke and what could have at one point been valid points I chalk up to bling hate toward any american car. Ive driven a v6 tundra and a v8 silverado. Comparing the two is a fucking joke IMO in favor of the silverado. ---

Oh, Oh. I have a sports car and a pick up truck. Since my penis enlargement did not work, this was the next best thing to do! Back on topic, It seems foolish of GM to make fun of the tailgate step. They’re just pissed they didn’t do it first. I wish my Chevy had it. You can keep the heated steering wheel, but some may want it. Bottom line is that the whole “sissy” thing is not going to help sell your vehicle. Didn’t Howie do the XLR ads also? ---

The V6 is probably a hell of a lot more popular en le sud. correct. just b/c toyota says its built, doesn’t mean you can get it here. Like 2WD FJ Cruisers, Yaris S models (before this year), and XRS matrix or corollas. Different regions, receive different configurations. I’ve only seen used 2wd tundras here. Heck, you couldn’t even get yaris S’s in NY until 2009. ---

Wait a dang second… So what your saying is that… GM’s competitors, after 2 years of the NEW silverado/Sierra being produced are trying to one up it? And you expect the 2010 Tundra to blow it away? hmm thats 3 years of R/D that GM doesn’t have to waste money on. The silverado is a damn good truck. It’s got everything you need, and more. So what if ford and dodge are innovating some neat idea(the toolbox side bed is sweet, lets not fool ourselves) But all that stuff doesn’t matter as much as MPG (GM is pretty good, with the cyl deactivation) and long term durability. If your buying a pickup truck for all the luxurious features it has(Which cost a shitload extra may I add) You could probably benefit more from buying an SUV. On top of all this, GM produces a low-cost,high featured product with all the offers in comparison to other companies… Especially Dodge. Dunno about you guys, but my family buys trucks for work… Like they are intended to be used for. Every GM we own has made it well beyond the mark of 175,000 miles with minimal maintenance. ---

On top of all this, GM produces a low-cost,high featured product with all the offers in comparison to other companies… Especially Dodge Yes, it will. Secondly, I don’t think GM needs to worry about wasting money on R&D. That seems to have all been spent on the Volt. LOL. Toyota spends $24 million dollars a day on R&D. GM loses $24 million a day. To assume that they new redesigned Tundra won’t smoke the Silverado, Dodge or Ford (Seeing as how the current generation tundra smokes em) even more, is just foolish. ---

The only reason people buy Chevy Trucks is: - Loyalty/Narrow mindedness - Price If you disagree with me, go and ask anybody driving a Silverado, that if for free, would they swap their silverado with a tundra? 95% of people would say “yes”. Now ask anyone driving a tundra, the same question, but try to put them into a f-150 or silverado… 95% would say “no”. ---

I was getting at its no wonders that Tundra is going to one up the Silverado. It’s taking them 3 years and a lot of money to redesign the thing… And the silverado can probably beat or match it with a little change from the factory. ---

I like toyota’s products, sure(Own one.) But there is no reason I’d give up my GM for one. I got it cheap as fuck, I get good gas mileage, and I know for a fact it will last. Or I could pay more money for a equally equipped tundra, and get worst gas mileage… and a worse differential.
