Go to You Tube and watch the Chevy Volt Dance.  Watching this piece of crap
you will immediately see why the General is broke and going broker while Ford
is improving.  Compare this bit of GM promotion of new product with what Ford
did for the launch of the Taurus and the SHO.  There is no comparison and just
another indicator why the boys and girls at the Tubes don't have a clue how to
market a product.  They ought to be embarrassed rather than slapping
themselves on the back saying they got the mojo now and it won't be long till
GM is relevant and in the black.

That's embarrassing.  
 
I did see a ZR1 yesterday - sounded and looked beautiful.

Wow, I come from an advertising/media background in college and most of 
my work years, and this makes me uneasy and makes me cringe.  How any ad 
exec could approve that is beyond me.

I actually think the car will be good for GM, and it is one I am going 
to take a look at for a next new car, but if they do much more of this 
type of event, I may rethink that!

That might have gone over well at the Japan auto show, but for LA, wow, 
even La La land has to walk away from that one!

It's probably a snap to approve when your pockets are lined with fresh
greenbacks from the coffers of Big Oil.
