  • Can't be directed by Michael Bay. Nothing exploded.

  • There is a mistake with the aveo.

    At 0.38 you can see the chevrolet front with the chrome bar, but on the truck at 1.45 there is no chrome bar and there is a Daewoo logo (the orignal maker, name: Dawwoo Kalos) on the car.

  • Dino !!!!!!!

  • bay bay bay ...lol

  • Never mind they made it with a corvette

  • They shood of made it with a corvette or camaro

  • How old is this

  • The director of this commercial is why GM went bankrupt. Like it up ;D

  • For film fans, The Aveo's jump is a tribute to the movie, 'Bullit' chase scene--which was also shot on the hills of San Francisco.

  • This commerical was kick ass back in 2003-2004 you know, BEFORE transformers came out and Bay was hired BY Chevy to make this commerical...

  • @ocelot729  Wasnt 03 , could possibly be late 04 as the Corvette is a C6 , First model year was 2005.

  • I thought this was directed by Michael Bay...I mean, nothing exploded...

  • 1:47 Pearl Harbor

  • Biplae flying to the sunset at the end. Michael loves doing that in his movies.

  • How it should've opened: "In a world where all cars are Chevrolets..."

    Besides that fact, I think Bay nailed it with this commercial; whenever I'm driving an Aveo I just want to beat the hell out of it and drop it on some car carrier so I'd never have to see it ever again!

  • haha, the red biplane at the end...surprised it wasn't a trio of F-22 Raptors considering the director

  • Comment removed

  • this ad remembrs me on knight rider i dont know why

  • This my favorite car ad of all time

  • It's definitely Michael Bay. It didn't make sense.

  • Wait...no explosions? The whole thing didn't turn into a mega-robot?

    I am disappoint.

  • WOW AWESOME !!!!

  • ultra magnus?

  • Oooh, plot-twist! Silver cars instead of red ones! And who could possibly have for-seen the YELLOW CAR?! Wow, Michael Bay blows me away every time

  • He makes everything look badass lol!

  • all going to the scrap yard!

  • you all realize this commercial came out well before Transformers

  • First Chevy job

  • bity the cars are not transformed

  • i thought they were going to transform... hahahaha

  • nu cred ca ......nici chiar asa,multi vad putini cunosc,abureala pe fata.Poti sa faci asa ceva,dar camionul a mers in treapta 1 de viteza cu 5km/ora,asa ma urcam si eu si inca cu bicicleta le dadeam clasa,ha,ha,ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lame!

  • I'll take the old SS over any of those.

  • @Ottoplemeniti Well dude, I agree

  • Huh ... I wonder if the Truck is also a Chevrolet ?? Hahaha ...

    Damn ... I thought this advert showing us that the car is moving by themselves ... But on the last car it show someone hand ... Hahah ...

    The last car kinda weird ~ Lolx

  • Dear Jim, Ive been reading comments by Dennis Woodruff on your site met him in Hollywood very nice guy. I think you should give him a chance to be friends. Hes really funny guy and reminds me of you without the funny faces. You should give him a shot you guys would really make some entertaining movies. DEnnis is a real artist. I could visualize you riding in one of his art cars. Best Wishes hope you read this message admirere j

  • Carrier is Ultra Magnus. Yellow Truck is Kup!

  • No explosions and the spin around scene

  • No Helicopters...But we did see a plane fly by with the sunset!

  • Thumbs up if you thought the truck was gonna stop and the sweet car was gonna go off it!

  • wow that was entertaining! or perhaps I was positively influenced to watch unti lthe end cuz of monicannabella' comment.....haha random plane lands on the truck! xD

  • it would of been even more badass if once all the vehicles hoped in. the whole thing transformed into one big giant robot.

    it be called, CHEVYTRON!

  • nice ad

  • Nice commercial; and because it was a commercial, the staccato edits, restless camera, overworked dolly and smoke machine were A.OK.

    Who let this ADD suffering half-wit loose on movies, though? If people just like watching crap blow up for 2 hours, why hasn't someone given a couple of action franchises to the Mythbusters team?

    On another note, having owned an SSR briefly, I can confirm that it's rubbish.

  • i love how they made the Aveo seem like its such a col car in the commercial. 

  • i want em all except the aveo and equinox.

  • pretty much my favorite commercial ever :)

  • OPTIMUS PRIME!

  • This was..................BAD ASS

  • lol that Aveo should been super-dead after that jump, hahaha

    Everything else was awesome, especially the Corvette and the Colorado.

  • I see sunsets, rapid edits and slow-motion..yup...MICHAEL BAY indeed

  • ha ha, guy in the SSR was such a show off! :P

  • Good god, that was ridiculous... and awkward... and ridiculous.

    The pacing is particularly herky-jerky and difficult to put up with: buildup-cheesy cinematic trick-anticlimax-buildup-chees­y cinematic trick-anticlimax-rinse-lather-­repeat...

  • This HAS to be a scene in Transformers 3! That would be epic!

  • The SSR was introduced for its market debut in a 60 second television advertisement that first appeared on New Year's Eve 2003, and featured six yet to be introduced cars and trucks boarding a car carrier as it traversed the United States. It featured the Aveo descending the Twin Peaks of San Francisco and making an airborne leap before boarding the car carrier the yellow SSR boarding the carrier in reverse while the carrier is traveling down a desert highway.

  • you guys kno this was actually back in 03 right....lol i could be wrong though

  • idk y people give michael bay crap hes a great director and has an amzing sense of cinematography and vision

  • ok q arrecho xD

  • wow, Michael Bay managed to make the Aveo look some what cool, rofl!

  • @ZeroGal5 Heh, yeah. I was expecting a tire-smoking J-turn take when I saw it. Then I laughed at the pathetic air.

    roflmao

  • where is the explosions the rolling cars and why those car didint transform

  • Contrast 1000000+

  • Pickup at the end, awesome!

  • Awesome commercial! Those flamers at volvo totally copied this idea for their stupid new s60 commercial :P

  • i think if u seen a car jump on a tuck in the middle of a city i would be like that guy ..... switching to decaf lol

  • All this commercial needs is a soundtrack from Steve Jablonsky or Harry Gregson-Williams.

  • where are the explosions? or the plane doing a flyby in front of the sunset?

  • also no Megan Fox

  • Even though the aveo is a Chevy, I thought it looked ugly in this commercial. I also like the convertible SS Camaro passing the Semi at the end.

  • @rainbowgalll That's a 1966 Chevelle SS396....

  • lol, the comments are hilarious c:

  • That commercial didn't make much sense

  • dammit I dont like the equinox, should have the trailblazer SS!! and the malibu looked ugly

  • Hahaha this has Bay written all over it. The camera angles. The freaking shaky cam at times. The Sunset! The lighting. The color correction. The epic high speed motion of all the cars. He really does demand things to be awesome, and this time he didn't even have to use any explosions.

    Btw, this commercial would look epic if it was a scene in a movie.

  • awsome espically the ssr that was awsome and @skordijhl fuck u that ssr is 100% kick ass

  • The corvette needs to explode at the end for no reason.

  • i wish i could go back in time to 2007 or later because thats when they made all the cool cars

  • the yellow car is ugly.

  • @skordijhl its a beast though no matter what you think.

  • SSR for the Win!.. man i so woulda got one of these if they had kept making them..

  • not even an air strike in this.

  • They dident transform what the hell?

  • Very good, however, no Transformations = Bad

  • I thought the truck was gonna blow up

  • I thought Chevrolet produce helicopters as well.

  • this commercial is fukin cool but where is da duramax ????????

  • whats the song name?

  • @Scotty6211 i believe its magic carpet ride by steppenwolf.

  • where the frik is the silverado

  • dexin@ verjn er! :))

  • yep. i see michael bay's touch all over this. the lighting, the color correction, and the camera work. it's soo michael bay.

  • Probably one of the best commercials ever, and definitely one of my favorites. The SSR was amazing - it's a shame that it came to such an abrupt end after a short life. A little too DeLorean-like.

  • too much not exploding, not enough exploding

  • Too bad they don't make the SSR any more.

  • This was probably one of the best commercials for Chevy, definately one of my favorites. I never saw the full one with the Aveo jump, I would have loved to see the landing. Mine doesnt cease to amaze me.

    I was very surprised the SSR did not make it...Chevy stopped it in what...2006? It was a nice car/truck. lol. The song is a remake of Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" but I have yet to find that actual remix of the song.

  • Whats the music called?

  • some remake of magic carpet ride

  • Given that Bay used to do commercials before doing movies, and that this is EXACTLY his style (minus the explosions), I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he actually directed this.

  • You gotta give it to the man. He knows what he's doing and he does it well.

  • I thought all that shit was going to transform :P

  • I think anyone would laugh at the part with the Aveo doing a Bullit jump.

  • i was expecting some thing spectacular like a corvette to drive to the center of the earth and plant a bomb and destroy the world come on michael bay pick it up you only blew up ejypt

  • I don't believe Michael Bay directed this.

    -No explosions

    -No helicopters

    -Not enough CGI

    -Random plane at the end didn't land on the truck

  • He did. He just reserves that stuff for movies.

  • yeah, and those could have been fixed... the airplane blows up :) by a helicopter :D using CGI effects | 8D

  • Well there is not realy any room for hte plane to land =/

  • Oh, but theres a sunset in all car's ;) and travellings and saturated colour.

  • well, actually, michael bay likes to shoot real stuff. more real stuff. thats his thing. but part of transformers he has to do explosions, and stuff like that, so what?

  • @monicannabella lol its not really micheal bay who made it...someone just made it "micheal bay...etc" so get ppl MFW >.>

  • Yes, Michael Bay did direct this commercial. He's directed a lot of commercials. Google it.

  • @monicannabella To be fair: it did have sparks and reckless driving ;D

  • @monicannabella i believe Michael Bay does!! why? because is an advertisement

  • random airplane for the win

  • I seriously half expected the semi was going to smash against the low ridder, which would in turn slam against the side of the semi. Everyone pulls out a gun. Bullets ricochet everywhere. A random helicopter flies over the action. The semi then shoots a rocket and the low rider flies up in a ball of fire. Then a shot of the rider flipping across the asphalt, sparks flying. But no...he let us all down.

  • name of song? please

  • @pimpin7nl Down The Road by Rampage.

  • All of G1 was a toy advert whch and transformers was never anything else but that untill Beastwars

  • Most beutiful car in the whole commercial: '69 Chevelle.

  • That is awesome.

  • I think I must have counted +95 shoots in this 2 mins commercial.

  • I love Michael Bay! Ben Serensen and amundsen mitchell are great photographers

  • WHERE ARE ALL THE EXPLOSIONS!!!

  • the poor chey aveo had to gun it to get on the truck and thats a discrace to bulitt fans everywhere

  • The people in this commercial are all like "OMG, a car transport!" lol

  • What are you talking about I done that with my SSR twice.

    While going to work

  • The Chevy SSR is not at all badass, but they try to make it looks so :P

    Its hilariously cute :)

  • lol at the plane in the end

  • Okay I admit for a car commercial that was very awesome.

  • I should have know in that day that Mr. Bay are really destined to direct Transformers films with Chevrolet vehicles.

  • What, no helicopters flying into the sunset? I can't believe it's not Micheal Bay

  • And no explosions either. Who really directed this and what have they done with Micheal Bay?

  • sadly, yes. And I have seen longer ones too.

  • well, both transformers movies add up to about 5 hours of a giant chevy commercial

  • Transformers? ^.^

  • T.F

  • well that was retarded

  • ah... good to see michael bay directing films closer to his level...

  • FORD!! IS the best!

  • what was the song?

  • steppendorf - Magic Carpet Ride

  • Steppenwolf

  • where are the explosions? lol

  • You get sparks instead lol.

  • Why the hell didnt he use this scene in Transformers? It also justifies Optimus retaining a trailer of sorts!

  • this was back in 2007 when chevy was just getting back on their feet and they wanted to compete against toyota's corolla and Nissan Titan

  • That figures.

  • the titan never had shit on chevy.. and it still dont

  • This would fit ultra magnus better

  • there are only 6 cars not 10 ;)

  • that's because the four other cars follow the truck !

  • 6 being seen in this ad while 4 others are unknown that's the ad sir

  • AWSOME!

  • Michael Bay is an outstanding commercial director, which makes it so inappropriate for him to produce 2-3 hour major motion pictures.

  • this is pretty well done actually..

  • Lolz at the Daewoo going fast to get on the truck

  • Enlich wie Transformers,mit dem Track und den gelben Wagen carmaro mmm.....

  • This makes me want to see Ultra Magnus in Transformers 3!

  • damn. i was hoping the plane would land on the truck lol

  • me too !

  • i think those cars are transformers lol

  • Not even Michael Bay can make Chevrolet look cool. lmao SSR

  • hahah i remember the song from like, triple play baseball 2001 lmfao

  • HOLY SHIT THIS REALLY DOeS LOOK like MICHAEL BAY!!

  • was that plane the same one in Pearl Harbor? the plane in the beginning?

  • i meant the plane that the two boys flew in the beginning of Pearl Harbor

  • Hmmm ... And where are the drivers ? :D They gona sit in the car all the time the truck goes ...

  • In Michael Bay's world, that's how *all* cars get from the factory to the dealership.

    (What, you think they would get there any *other* way?!?)

  • Its not Michael Bay unless theres atleast 5 ridiculous explosions!

  • the best is the colorado

  • 0:38 oh wow they jumped an Aveo a foot in the air, do we get to see it land? Oh wait, it landed in peices!

  • o.0 oh yah... whats with the biplane.. its totaly out of context...i could not understand why MB placed it there ????

  • Could have been a Transformers commercial with Optimus picking up all his crew.

  • That would have been f-ing awesome.

  • No explosions. I'm amazed! :D Good job, Michael Bay, good job.

  • Comment removed

  • Unintentional self-parody is so LOL!!!!

  • I didn't see a SINGLE FUCKING EXPLOSION IN THAT SHIT.

  • fuckin Micheal Bay.

  • Michael Bay: "No you don't understand I need more money for this or it won't be cool"

    Corp Exec: "But Michael it is supposed to be about the car, why do you need a biplane for a 2 second shot?"

    Michael Bay: "BECAUSE I'M FREAKING MICHAEL BAY??"
