Don't care much for the SEA of SUV's on the road?

Have look at these creative commercials
Who knows how long these vids will last, so have a quick boo

Main page with multiple video links HERE

 

Oh man, I want soooo badly to see these, but I'm at work without the required plug-in (can't install it, either), and I bet they'll be gone by the time I get home! :impatient :impatient :impatient

 

 

You sure its a plug-in? 2 of the links no longer work #1 & #4 (for me at least) these two had more 'colorful' language

 

Yeah, those wouldn't work for me either.

 

#3 is great!!!

"Give you false confidence, so you can continue to drive like a heedless jerk…
…because you’re the only one on the whole damn planet."

 

ohh I can't type I'm laughing so hard, went to make my own and saw they ADVERTISE 15 mpg I did better than that at the race track this weekend run WOT half the time

Thanks for sharing this I like #3 as well.

 

Those people needs lives

 

Those were pretty clever. I like "What will you tell your kids you drove?"

 

Here are a few more I found:

Can you believe these are still up on the Chevy site?!

Nope, the people who drive Tahoes in the city need lives.

 

That's apparently a deliberate decision. Some interesting stuff on GM's official blog today:

"Contestants are given a variety of images to work with and are given the ability to splice together the visual elements over which they can display their own advertising copy. A contest of this sort doesn't come without risks. As we expected, people who are opposed to SUVs for a variety of reasons quickly discovered that they were also welcome to participate. Early on we made the decision that if we were to hold this contest, in which we invite anyone to create an ad, in an open forum, that we would be summarily destroyed in the blogosphere if we censored the ads based on
their viewpoint. So, we adopted a position of openness and transparency, and decided that we would welcome the debate. (As an aside, we have been truly disappointed by the number of submissions we had to filter out
because of their vulgar content.) I won't bore you with the details, but the overwhelming majority of the 22,000 submissions thus far have been earnest attempts at creating positive advertisements."



I know GM is pretty open on the blog itself with allowing some very negative comments to remain (in fact, there was an article about it in the Wall Street Journal a couple of days ago) so I suppose this is an extension of that. Pretty impressive, actually.

Funny commercials!

Yeah I don't have a lot of respect for the ads. The only thing that is funny is that the ads totally backfired on GM...but they don't really need that now.

Many people use Tahoes for what they are designed for, towing, hauling, people carrying. And I am not one to talk since I drive a tiny car (though safe), but why wouldn't you want to be in a large, more safe vehicle? If I had kids, I'd want them in the safest thing possible, and a large, full frame SUV is a safe vehicle.

I vowed not to buy an SUV till I need it, but when I do I won't feel bad about it and I'll try to keep a sportscar around. They'll never make an SUV drive right
