New G8 Commercial. Vyrbs is Going to Have a Stroke.....

[Trendkiller Z28]

I can't wait to see what LS2 has to say about this:lol:

[TK_05]

Ooo, more leg room. That makes the interior MUCH BETTER. :rolleyes:

[Kata Skopos]

its pretty funny :D

[Jeffro]

You gotta admit. The marketing group for the G8 are fucking geniuses.

[Sir Ringo]

:rotfl:

Although the comparison is absolutely ridiculous - frankly they'd have a better chance against the 3-series, since some people might actually cross-shop the two - that's a hilarious ad. The G8's marketing team has produced some of the best car adverts I've ever seen.

[SledNecK]

Is that even an official GM Clip? :confused:

[Verbs]

:umm:

[Gravy Train]

It should be. Now they just need to use the same attitude to one-up Yoda.

[GMCtrk]

That was Quadcammer in the pink sweater.

[Potent68]

:rotfl:

Love it! :2thumbs:

[DANSBIRD]

:think:

[triggerjerk]

Nice.

[Last of a Breed]

Regardless if the comparison between the G8 and 5 series is not a valid one, most will have to admit that's a pretty good "ad" and I think GM needs to do things like that. Be aggressive with your ads and cars.

[BBA]

Nice

...and funny.:D

[Frcefed98]

:cool: awesome.

[Kata Skopos]

i dont think the point is that the G8 is BETTER then a 5 series. I think its just to get people to rethink paying THAT much more for one :shrug:

[shuck]

:rotfl:

That was great, I am sure the normal snobs will come in here and repeat the same things as usual it doesn't matter though as we all know GM failed with the G8 because the M5 is so much better:o

[Hobbes]

Awesome ad and very funny but I doubt this would ever see the air.

[Speedfreak]

That was the lamest thing I have ever seen. Gay as hell...........:lame: :lame: OMG that suked.

[CT Morgan]

Surely that's not actually a GM promo. LOL.

I guess from a size standpoint one can compare the two, but that's dangerous ground.

Edit: I think the two promo's run during the tourney are brilliant.

No the G8 failed, it doesn't have the interior of a Bentley and the performance of an Enzo......shit the car is 30K you think it would atleast have the interior of an Aston Martin and the performance of a GT2.....fucking GM:rolleyes:

[5.0THIS]

Obviously not an official GM ad (IMO)... but funny nonetheless :D

[Heracles]

I would take a G8 over any new 5 series, except a 540.

And if I had to buy them new, hmm..you are dellusional if you cant admit that you get alot of car for $31K.

funny vid:D

[mrgto]

Even Pontiac/Holden engineers said they targeted the BMW 5 series for suspension and ride quality. Ironic...

You'd think that, wouldn't you!

[426HEMI]

Good ad IMO. It won't sway anyone, but it was still a good ad. We should be seeing the Cobalt SS V M3 any day now.

[Firehawk]

I like this one better

Like is an understatement; the level of affection you show is disturbing. Why don't you own the Holden variant? :boggled:

That's a bit much... sure, the above statement can be applied to almost any Toyota product currently advertised, but Pontiac isn't asking for much beyond $30K... the car is appropriately priced for its feature set/appointments.

It gets interesting when you compare the G8 GT to the '04-'07 CTS-V (when new). You and I both know the dash molesting stops here. :eek:

[TTU]

EL OH FUCKING EL

I nearly shat myself during this commercial

Lowest of the low 5 series is still worlds ahead of anything Pontiac is making.

cm don't you know if you really like a car, you have to own it before you discuss it on the internet?

Rob owns all the cars he has talked about on the internet that he likes.

Ooops. :sillyme: You happen to like the G8, which is a GM. Unfortunately, you can't discuss how much you like the car. Since it's a GM, you're a sackrider and the Corner Garage Police (Rob, Quad, Berman) will sniff out your sackriding posts and come in a thread to put you in your place. They are enlightened individuals with exquisite tastes because they are so high class. :cool:

Plus the G8s handbrake is laughable. Can't like a car with a handbrake like that. :nono:

A post like this warrants a serious response, but I know it'll probably fall on deaf ears.

I asked him why he didn't own the Holden variant simply because I've never seen someone so enamored with a relatively cheap car before for such a ridiculous length of time. I had no idea what his finances were like, but it seems he can't afford one yet, and that's all I was wondering. For all the "sackriding" he's done for well over a year now, one would think he'd own the car. It has nothing to do with what one can or cannot like. I do, however, typically have the opportunity to drive or be driven in many cars, so I get to sample a wide variety of vehicles.

I've never owned a GTO, but I like that car. I wouldn't buy one, but I like it. Uh oh!

Please, Officer Rob, stop right there. No explanation needed. Given your job description as a Part-Time Internet Enlightener, it goes without saying that you would need to step in and question cm_ls1's infatuation with such a low-grade, inferior, cheap piece of Pontiac shit. Anything you can do to help us is appreciated. If there's a thread somewhere praising a dirty, execrable, junky GM, I'm sure you'll step in to set everyone straight with a hint of disdain like a shepherd watching over his simple-minded sheep. We need your guidance sir. We need to be reminded that it's not appropriate or sophisticated to dwell on such inferior things. Thank you for your presence and wisdom. :worthy:

no, but for $30k i'd think it would have an interior on par with the GTO of 3 years ago and it doesn't. that's my only gripe with the car (well that and no nav) which i otherwise think is the best thing GM has done in a long ass time.

For the GTO I am guessing they set out to give it some great interior with some performance, for this car I think they set out to give it good performance with some good interior.
