If anyone has seen the ZR1 burnout video that was posted on SpeedTV the otherday I think you might agree doing something like that with the SS would be very cool and might appeal to the younger, drifting type crowd as well as us older folks. If the concentrate on performance and value rather than some of the gimmicks like 50cent they will be much better off. When they had 50cent pitch the G8 it was so fake that it was a total waste. Especially since he did so much with the Chrysler 300.

But I wonder what the target demographic for this car is.
I believe that the majority of people buying the new Camaro will be men in their late 30s to maybe as high as 60.
A lot of the guys in that group like, and can relate to AC/DC.
I bet a sales campaign with that music would test extremely well and resonate with the target consumers.

I suspect they will market to two demographics. They will sell many cars to guys over 30 that love Camaro and perhaps have had a history with the car in the past or always wanted one.

The second group will be the younger folks who would otherwise perhaps consider an import or Mustang. By making the V6 so stout I think this will be a compelling car. Also talk with any kid under 25 and most will say that the 69 Camaro is amoung the best of the muscle cars. This Camaro will be as close as most will get to a 69. If there is a solid aftermarket then I think the younger folks will see the potential.

I don't think Fergie however is going to sell any cars.

We'd be really good as a group creating a marketing campaign aimed at people who don't need convinced to buy the Camaro.

For what it's worth, the SS presence in that picture is exactly what I was looking for.

Maybe Fergie is trying to boost her career by riding on the Camaro's awesomeness.

They don't. But she doesn't belong in an ad with a Camaro.

Now here's my humble idea and this isn't what i listen to ,but i heard it at work and the chorus kinda caught me with the lyrics.i thought they would work for both Camaro AND GM.with the proper editing i think it could work out really nice.the lyrics im talking about are at the 40 second mark. i figure it would go like this . music in the backround lightly with no lyrics while the narrator does his thing(while Camaro speeding down a desert road).with close shots following it .and just as he finishes with what hes saying, raises the volume with the lyrics that are at the 40 second mark.and the shot widens out and eventualy the camera slows down to see it speeding off.


Please be kind, its only an idea i had.try not to flame me too bad

its also at the 1:50 mark and 3:29 with different energy in it

I'll be 60 when I take delivery of mine next year, and I can relate to AC/DC, but who the hell is this Fergie character??

a famous (for now) musical artist. her music is wide ranging, it's kind of hard to place her in one specific genre, kinda quirky. the good thing is she isn't known as a strictly sex appeal type musical artist (she's not GREAT looking) so the people who do listen to her, really do like her for her music.

She better be careful standing that close to the air intake. If someone were to fire up
those 422 ponies, that 93 lb. tart would be sucked in and spit out the back!
