GM Re: Invention Chapter One Commercial

[radiowave433]

which business segment their new CEO came from?

[sneakers55]

New CEO (Fritz Henderson) was a long-term GMer. New Chairman of the Board (Ed Whitacre) previously retired from AT&T.

[AlanfromBigEaZy]

Pumping billions into GM just hurts Ford (& Fiat). GM has had the WORST management of any major US company for decades. Hope to see them go ASAP.

I wish we still had the streetcar lines GM bought in order to kill. One of their many sins.

[kittycatback]

The UAW is the parasite that killed General Motors!

[AkimboJoe]

The images of defeated hockey players and a flag torn by hurricane Katrina, Habitat for Humanity building a house, Mohamed Ali, a quarterback, the Phillies, big foam fingers...

This is I suppose, attempting to connect GM with all things AMERICA, and while I want American industry to succeed I gotta say this ad looks like it's a desperate reach.

Still I suppose many people will nod in approval when they see images that appeal to them.

I suppose the chapter we're not focusing on, is chapter 11?

[bobob1313]

Dear Leader Obama is so confident GM will succeed, he bought a Ford a few weeks ago...

[SVTSWeb]

I understand your point, although the presidential vehicle is a Caddy. Now what does that say for the American people.

[Vikkivvy]

Climb back up stronger!!! GM go go!!

[eldo59]

WTF no more Pontiac!?!?

I would cut out Saturn or GMC before Pontiac.

All GM had to do was rebuild the classics

[Ryugeit]

Yea man ima be missing the Trans am, GTO, and G8s.

[Shigz06]

Saturn is gone too...

[SVTSWeb]

its going to be gone, aint gone yet

[paddlepop77]

David Gedge finally hit the jackpot!

"The Wedding Present - Interstate 5" is the background song.

[legorret1]

I hope that GM workers still have a job, because it was the fault of the managers who killed the EV1 and didn't wants to evolute the technics of cars. It is silly to kill Saturn and Pontiac. But a good thing to sell Hummer.

[Ryugeit]

its was definitely smart to sell hummer. Its to much of a gas gusler

[legorret1]

I agree with you.

[Ryugeit]

Thanks. Yeah I'm a GM fan so I always like to see them on top making the right choices & decisions.

[1DEER1I]

Ya sale hummer to Japan, sale the brand that America's military drives right?

[legorret1]

Maybe sale hummer ( civil truck ) to Japan and keep the military truck H1 in the US ?

[SVTSWeb]

Its owned by a Chinese company now

[DevilTC]

Hilarious! These mismanaged ass-clowns actually have money for a 1 minute commercial? Oh wait I forgot, our "Glorious Leader" gave them a bunch of tax money just so they could renew their Transformers license, and pretend like they were not headed for bankruptcy in 5 months. Worthless commercial from a worthless company that makes worthless automobiles.

[CynthiaSwallows]

Chapter one and Eleven

[SergioCorreaG]

HOnest????  this is a video fill of BS messages made by a preatty clever PR deparment/agency. IT has nothing honest. I feels like a cover up of the truth.

I'll give GM the benefit of the doubt. Lest's see in tow years if they are greener, socially focused, efficient......

[ZEROflawgunner]

hey at least they r telling the truth about what is going on for once.

[fuzzynormal]

Ha, what a bunch of idiots. Y'all at GM couldn't sound more pathetic if you tried. Shut up for awhile, concentrate on actually making cars and not lame commercials...

[Pookatube]

Let's Be Completely Honest.......

1. Getting rid of Oldsmobile was a MISTAKE!!!

2. Killing off Pontiac is a MISTAKE!!!

3, Keeping GMC is a MISTAKE!!!!

4. Fritz Hendersonas CEO of GM is a MISTAKE!!!

5. Electing Barrack Obama this past November was a MISTAKE!!!

[KroniKKidZ28]

yeah I don't know why their keeping GMC instead of Pontiac. They're just rebadged Silverados and Tahoes. I see a lot more Pontiacs on the road than GMCs. All they need is to have the G8, G6, G5 and the Solstace as a limited run model. They should of just moved all the GMCs under the Chevy umbrella, but hopefully it all works out. I've always been an American consumer, and a Chevy guy above that. So if GM goes, I'll go to Mopar. If they go, then I'm screwed cause I'm not buying a Ford or jap car

[Ryugeit]

LOL

[1DEER1I]

Lets be completely Honest.....

Oldsmobile was close to the bottom of their sales brand wise

Pontiac should have been kept agreed

GMC is #2 selling brand in GM's line up behind Chevrolet so not a mistake to keep it.

#4-yes

#5yes

[98gagt]

This is a great GM commercial..GM is the best automaker in my opinion and they will come out of this bankruptcy strong...sure they will only have 4 brands and less models, but i've seen a lot of the models ready to come into production and i'm very impressed...GM is the next automaker on the renaissance and i know they will make it back to number 1 automaker...i have only owned GM vehicles and i will continue to buy GM!!

[synsless]

this is the most unintentionally funny shit ive seen in a long time

[emforty2]

so they're adimitting fault and they suck will reinvent itself

its good publicity stunt

[birudagmawi1]

Well we own 60% of the company now so whatever crappy car they come up with next is our fault :P

[millspontiacbuick]

Great Ad. GM will rise from the ashes.

[rpassis]

Haha this has got to be a joke - General Motors advertising their bankrupcy!!!!

[internate]

"There was a time when people used to buy are cars out of choice. When our company wasn't nationalized. A time when people who sucked at their jobs got fired..."

[N9155E]

who needs stronger models?

[TheJT04]

The song in the ad is "Interstate 5" by The Wedding Present from the album, "Take Fountain". Great song, and great choice, GM!!!

[sellandc2]

vague, meaningless feel-good-ism. Just like an Obama commercial. Oh, that's right...

[mapliopl]

plus... what the hell are all those "feel good" images? Football? A guy with one leg? People building a house? HOCKEY? seriously??

[BetrayedRepublican]

Try working for a living. Try struggling to achieve something. Try pulling yourself up off the pavement after everyone's written you off.

[mapliopl]

"there was a time when 8 brands seemed way too greedy."

"there was a time to create cars that actually outperformed the global competition."

You brought this on yourselves, now swallow it.

[BetrayedRepublican]

There was a time when loudmouths didn't have YouTube to distribute their ignorance and hateful prejudices.
