Default Ideas for 2009 Camaro ads

Obviously the last camaro was not advertised well. Thus, GM may need some help and who best to help GM than the local, friendly, and better than average looking LS1Tech crowd. So chime in and give them some ideas!!!

Ok picture this...
Black screen.... Heart beating slow... Opening montage... A sequence of past to present trans-am racers all running on a track...with every passing image the heart beat gets faster and faster.....Everyturn there is a diff. race car....Then the 4th gen. Explodes or Morphs into the 5th gen.....and wins the race.

Have another idea will post later when i envision it correctly.

Here's my idea. I originally thought this one up for use with the Challenger, but it applies here too.

Ok, you've got a Mustang GT driving through town, showing off, revving its engine and stuff. The camera goes to a ground level shot of the rear of the Mustang as it comes to a stop at a red light. As the Stang driver waits, a Z/28/SS whatever the top model will be pulls up next to the stang ....slowly. The Camaro lets out a roaring rev at the mustang, rocking to and fro from the torque.

The light goes green and the Camaro guns and and leaves....but the Mustang stays behind and shows that it is now "peeing" it's pants(pretty much pissing out liquid into a pool underneath.)

Quick cut to Camaro logo screen and prices.

It would start with a black screen for 3 seconds and then the heartbeat sound....a car flashes by.....black screen and heartbeat....flashes of cars flying by and a voice says " Some called it reborn"....black screen and heartbeat.....flashes of cars flying by and a voice says "Others have called it reinvented"......black screen and heartbeat.....flashes of cars flying by and a voice says "Some even called it a dream".......black screen and heartbeat.....flashes of cars flying by and a voice says "Well we call it the 2009 Camaro, its back, better than ever" then the screen changes to a new Camaro idling, the camera pans around and then the Camaro smokes the tires and takes off and the voice says "The legend lives"


I have another I will post later

I think they'll do a heritage commercial of some sort. THey'll show a really old man standing by a 69, then an old man standing by a 2nd gen, then a mullet headed 30-something standing by a 3rd gen, then a 20-something with a 4th gen. Then end it with all the cars lined up, and a young guy standing with a new car on the end of the line.

Another idea:

I volunteer to be the old guy standing next to the 69.

A bunch of older Cameros in the background, people setting at picnic tables eating APPLE pie. In rolls 2 new Camaro's, one HT one conv. Jeff Gordon driving one, OR ANOTHER JR driving the other grinning ear to ear. They both get out of their cars look at each other and say IT'S BACK.

You guys didn't know they are changing the name of the car? And I'll be selling the damn things.

Here my excuse. The owner of the dealership was passing by when I was spelling. Yells STUPID, I am counting on you to bump your 16.5 car average up. I said it will cost you.

You seriously need to learn how to spell Camaro, you claim you sell GM products but you can't spell Camaro, there is seriously something wrong with that.

I think the peeing mustang idea although funny is a little crude and some may not be able to associate with it, and also I think would involve some legal implications for Chevy. First off, I don't want to associate any f car with peeing. Thats lude, and unsophisticated. This is a high performance evolution of a very classy car. I doubt GM would cater to those who would like to see a mustang pee. Also if GM used a mustang or any other non GM car in an ad they are opening up a big can of worms for lawsuits from Ford. Anybody remember what happened to the Trans Am eating the exotic commercial? It was pulled from the air and banned. I am sure it probably came with some fines too. Lets take a new approach to this.

How about you see a 1st gen mustang at a light. 1st gen Camaro pulls up from drivers left. Mustang Revs motor. Camaro driver rolls his eyes or does something else cool. Then both cars take off in a cloud of smoke. Black out...

Repeat scene with 5th gen mustang and 5th gen camaro. Drivers may be young or old. If they kept the drivers from the first scene then they coudl say something like. "The new Camaro, New car, same attitude.

or they could so it with young guys and say "Camaro A new car for a new generation"

Prices and details...

Blackout.

I like pheonix_rising's idea; I'll kinda play off that. Here we go. We have a newer GT racing a bunch of ricers on the streets, Mr. Bigshotithinkimtough gets out and laughs and grins and has a girl on each arm sort of thing. Think Iceman from Top Gun. Tough guy gets back in car and waits at starting line for his next challenger; guess who/what pulls up. The new 5th gen with (insert favorite chevy nascar driver here) behind the wheel. GT guy nonchalantly looks over, face goes from wide cocky smile to oh crap look. Screen goes to black; camaro logo appears with fog around the bottom of the screen, hear the sound of engine startup, headlights turn on; Voiceover "The legend returns" or something to that effect; prices blah blah. Commercial ends with (insert favorite chevy nascar driver here) stopping by former tough guys ladies "You ladies need a ride" with tough guy in fetal position rocking back and forth in background thinking he just saw a ghost.

This would be good for quick spots or a month or two before the camaro goes on sale; Screen goes to black; camaro logo appears with fog around the bottom of the screen, hear the sound of engine startup, headlights turn on; Voiceover "The legend returns" or something to that effect; prices blah blah.

Yeah, that abbreviation is ANNOYING and STUPID.

In fact, I just went and edited a bunch of those out.
