Create your own Tahoe Commercial

At the risk of starting an SUV-bashing thread, a friend sent me this and I thought it was too funny. Chevy built a web site to users can make their own Tahoe commercials, and got more than they expected.

Re: Create your own Tahoe Commercial

You can Google and get several more articles on the Tahoe Web ads backfire. I have not done one, but the this is the likely content:

Dear GM:
You have seen thousands of spoof Tahoe ads
Were they all done by environmental wackos?
Is this the tip of the iceberg?
Many in the auto industry have said the SUV market peaked around 2003 - then gas prices nearly doubled
You had 50% of the US market in 1980. Now it's about 26%.
We see Accords and Camerys instead of Buicks, Pontiacs, and Oldsmobiles - why did you neglect the sedans?
Maybe you should just focus on selling a reliable and well-serviced car...
...and not an over-marketed bullying land barge as a male-enhancement product.

Re: Create your own Tahoe Commercial

We've been discussing it a while, and have made our own commercials here. There are links to favorite commercials, members commercials, as well as news stories about the commercials, and discussion on the sucess or failure of the endeavor.
