Showing up to work hammered was he?

 

I hope they don't do an Apprentice style order system with the new Camaro. The Camaro has much greater public reach than Solstice and we would be overwhelmed. I also know we would turn people away rather than take orders for cars we may or may not get, especially because this is going to be higher volume than Solstice. As for a 7/7/07 order date logic needs to be addressed here. We have not seen a production car, and therefore I would think that this would be seen before ordering begins.

 

Yea listen to this guy here (Fbodfather) he should know lol

Hey Scott did you see my Camaro order?


See ya next month

 

FOR REAL any one catch that hhr commercial, i threw up in my mouth when i watched it!

 

Which one was that?

The one with all the guys? LOL We thought it was hilarious.

 

The HHR commercial was created by a contest winner, a high school girl from somewhere. He talked about it during his presentation.

 

NO it was a college contest that the girls won.

Winning the Challenge

I can’t put into words the feeling of awe I still have since I found out that I won the Chevy Super Bowl Ad Challenge. Though ‘That Chevy Girl’s’ time in the spotlight is coming to an end, the memories that I have of this experience and, more importantly, what Chevy has done for me, will last a lifetime.

I was shocked when I was announced the winner in Detroit in the fall. In December, I was graciously whisked off to New York to see the ad that had been in my head for a couple of months come alive. But through it all, it still never really hit me. Finally in Miami, seeing my commercial on TV and hearing all the positive feedback, it finally sunk in. I had created a Super Bowl ad!




I think it wasn’t so much that I had created an advertisement that more than 90 million people watched that made me excited. It was that Chevy was allowing me to say something, in the funniest way possible, of course: times are changing, and we need to embrace the change. In my mind, that’s priceless. Better yet, we had plenty of laughs along the way.

Here in Miami, it’s been great. I’ve had the opportunity to glance into a world that little Midwestern girls like me think only exists in a parallel universe that no one really lives in. And that game? That game! It was amazing… that’s coming from a hardcore football fan. It was a big game for the Colts, Chevy, and for me… and I can only hope that the Chevrolet team was able to experience just as much excitement as I know I and the Super Bowl champions did, and still feel.

I don’t think I recognized before this weekend the kind of risk that Chevy took when asking college students to give them ideas for an extraordinarily important (and expensive) advertising spot. Nor did I realize how truly lucky I am to have had my idea chosen to be the one on which that risk was taken, especially when you consider the fantastic concepts that were submitted by the other finalists. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude, and there is no way to measure the possibilities that now lie before me.

I am SO excited to see where the open doors that now surround me will lead. I can promise that I’ll take those opportunities and run as far as I can with them. This experience has been irreplaceable and I can definitely say that the smile I’ve worn all weekend seems to be permanently frozen on my face.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

 

The HHR commercial was not his call.

I still stand by that he is a great person to have for advertising and GM will greatly miss him.

He brought GM Style to the NAIAS from LA this past year. He knows what he is doing and I'll say again....GM was surprised that he left them as quick as he did.

 

sorry -- no surprises.

really.

Trust me.

 

I'd assume at that level there was a succession plan in place.

 

not replacing him.......
