However, if they're going to use a certain genre of music to promote the car, it had better be something along the lines of this:

I can only hope that someone in GM messed up on the timing of this ad. I cannot think of a worse ad and worse timing. There is nothing appealing about this ad from a car enthusists or mainstream buyer point of view.

Ford ran several Mustang commercials, including one featuring hte GT500 being unloaded from a freighter in Europe. There was also one in a corn field with Steve McQueen. Do a youtube search on Mustang commercial.

I'm already not liking what I see for the advertising of this car. I hope they wake up big time.

I still think AC/DC would be the way to go musically speaking.

Easy there, even if you're not a LoG/metal fan, there is no way you could say this is worse than anything Fergie has done. They play their own instruments extremely well, write their own music, are talented at what they do, and don't **** themselves on stage. Fergie has fourth graders write her lyrics and doesn't have an ounce of musicianship in her..

..now, back on topic.

sorry dude, it did sound like trash. I'm not a big Fergie fan, but her stuff is lighyears ahead of that, regardless of who writes it. I don't care if 'LoG' writes/sings/plays their own music, if it doesn't sound any good and 4th graders write better lyrics, then what the point of them making music.

"Back in Black" is too played.
It needs to be a more obscure AC/DC tune.
Like "Shot Down in Flames", "It's a Long Way to the Top if You Want to Rock & Roll", "Big Guns", etc.

they need to market to whats selling today, not what sold yesterday. they need to get ahold of today's consumer.

Maybe they should do a remake!!
