I think they should try some fetish marketing next, at least that would make for some really interesting magazine adds to keep hanging up in the garage. As for the homo, bi-sexual, trannys I never really knew they were a group that needed specific marketing tactics thought they just want to be treated like everyone else. Guess they will have to add a few new colors to the Camaro lineup like a flip-flop that is black during the day for that masculine look and turns a vibrant pink pearl when the sun goes down for that hardcore drag queen.

Yet if that was a video about a bunch of busty women in bikinis that would have been very wrong, what a joke. I don't care how they try to market cars if it helps sell, but if you allow that then they should make one to market for the straight males. Not trying to sound like I'm bashing, but I would like one I can enjoy.

What does a person's sexual preference have to do with automobile marketing? I personally dont care...
I guess the way the camaro has always been portrayed in our society as a manly testoterone bucket meant to attract females. But personally I dont care, I think a car should be made to attract people/buyers regardless if they are gay/straight theey worship buddah/allah or whatever. But certain demographics exist for certain kind of cars, the same way toyota came up with scion to attract young first time buyers.
Im not insecure and paranoid to panic at the fact that a person with different life style choices than me is going to drive the same car I do. I like my camaro and thats all that matters to me.
And I love lesbians and bi sexual hot girls

I have never seen those ads and I never knew that car makers use stereotypes/bigotry/intolerance in there ads'
And what does GM's marketing have to do with whether the fact this is a performance site? What if a gay man had a faster camaro at than you? Would that be the end of the world?

No idea, it is kinda funny. Obviously they think they are on to something though.

He should have just left his opinions on advertising in the closet with the rest of his ideas.

I'm not sure how you conclude that. Busty women in bikinis are used to advertise a whole host of other products. There's clearly nothing "wrong" with that from an advertising perspective.

The way I meant it was that if it had a bunch of chicks in it people would have made a bigger deal of it. I see nothing wrong with what they did, I think it's them getting the point across that it ain't just for straight people. The problem I would have with it is if it aired nationaly and nobody says anything not to **** of the gays, yet people always btch about the Go Daddy commercials.

I would much rather deal with a GAY that has credit than a Red Neck that filed Chapter 7 three months ago and wants to buy a new Camaro.
That's a problem with this country today. We divide ourselves too much. Age, race, religion, where we live, experience, issues, etc. No two people are ever the same. Brothers and sisters from the same parents differ. Hopefully the new GM will sell enough of these cars to buyers.... A buyer is a person that takes delivery. I could care less who they have sex with or anything else.
I can picture the following. Two new Camaro's come to a light. They rev - the windows come down. Are you gay?

I find this really funny and another example of GM and their horrible business strategy. Why would you pander to a consumer group (gays) that makes up probably no more than 5% of your potential customers while not targeting the group that has been known to actually buy these types of cars. It doesnt make sense.
