Chevy Volt Dog Lick Ad

If I let that dog lick my feet, it would be considered animal cruelty.

Wow. I actually think this is the most cleverly orchestrated no-budget commercial of 2008. I guess GM knows the audience they want to cater to with this sagacious advertisement! The dog and the foot are cool genius. The irony seems almost as refreshing as the foot bath itself! LOL

OMFG GM is so stupid! The EV1 commercials were retarded but not nearly this bad. They didn't even show what the fucking car looks like! They're probably hoping the Volt will fail so they can continue with their fun guzzlers. This is going to turn into a giant car-crushing clusterfuck just like the EV1.

does anyone know the name of the song used in this ad?

this has to b the stupidest comercial i have ever seen

awnser: this maybe the worst ad of 2008!!!! i would not buy any of that shity junk!!!!

what a load of crap...

the commercial should add that GM had already made an extended range electric car, the Saturn EV1, which by the way did not get 40 miles per charge, but nearly 90, and it didn't even have this fancy Li-Ion battery pack...

this ad, and the other one piss me off! before saying they "care about the environment" they should admit that they made a mistake 5 years ago by crushing the EV1s. If you ask me, the Volt is a Step backwards

The only really capable EVs on the road are those that the major companies HAD to make because of the California zero emissions mandate of the late 90s. I personally drive a 2000 Ford Ranger EV which luckily escaped the crusher. It's a shame to think of how much advancement in EVs we would have if California hadn't backed off on their mandate. EVs were real, now we are playing catch up. But this time at least it's because of public interest, not strictly a government mandate.

I can see the Volt being hacked, rip out the genset, and throw a bunch of batteries under the hood.. :-)

With all-electrics now a practical reality in other countries, the only thing protecting them is government protection. In the US it is FORBIDDEN for an AEV to go >35mph. But check out the G-Wiz and other AEVs. They go up to 45-50mph, making them practical for all but freeway driving. In the UK, owners get perks like free parking and tax breaks--they are rewarded for helping the environment. Honda's clean quiet Civic diesel has been sold in Europe for 3 or 4 years. Here we can't even buy these!
