Worst...ad...ever...

Making me consider Japanese...or, gulp...Dodge...for my next truck...

Alienating a loyal GM/Chevy owner...

Johnny 'jihad' Cougar can kiss my American ass.

His hometown is Seymour, Indiana. You mean his home State.

Johnny's brain has been warped by too many cans of Bud and too many packs of Kools.

During forty two years of marriage we have owned three Chevys. Every one of them had really bad problems and two of them were new! So we've been sticking with Ford.

My father and mother drove mostly GM products for 50 plus years. I have owned several GM products and a few Chevy trucks. I currently drive a Chevy truck. I was considering buying a new one within the next year or two.

Each time I see this ad, I find myself thinking more of a Dodge or a Nissan truck instead. It has had an amazing ability to sever 50 plus years of family brand loyalty.

I have the best commercial on the air now. I do!
F**k John Cougar and Chevys

I stand corrected.

Chevrolet's truck market is for hard-working, honest folks who make their own living and generally don't accept charity (farm subsidies excluded.) So Chevrolet/GM decides to put out a commercial in an election year "celebrating" America, hiring a rabid anti-American leftist with a notoriouis political bend (JCM) to front the commercial.

Gm should be firing these dolts as we speak. If I want to support John Mellencamp I will write a check to the American Communist party. I will NEVER AGAIN buy a Chevy truck. What a serious miscalculation on both Americans and those who buy trucks. Wow, this is unbelievable.

Now they're running a Spanish language Hispanic themed Chevy commercial during the World Series broadcast.
