I think its ironic that GM and Twinkies survive the apocalypse but Twinkies are no more since Hostes filed for Chapter 11 and won't get a bailout like GM did.

That was the most depressing vehicle commercial I've ever seen!

If I were looking to get a GM I would be disappointed.

The Chrysler commercial was much better!

Truth is Chevrolet and Twinkies did not survive.... almost as bad as the Man Step GM criticized, then backfired.

what else would you expect from that sad as**d company.
they build crap, drive there way into bankruptcy, take our tax dollars, and put out stuff like that.

If there was ever a time where I was going to reconsider if I'd ever own another GM product, it just came as a reminder strong reminder of why I put that crap in the rearview mirror.
I'll never have a GM product in my driveway.

Dodge on the otherhand, was a total class act with Clint.
Everyone at our SB party thought GM blew it, and Dodge did a wonderful job.

They should have put that 7 million dollars on the loan that our government gave them

Ford and GM have been poking fun at each other for like, decades now... we've almost come to expect an ad like that every so often.

I'm pretty sure that the loan has been paid back. I know the govt. has already sold some of their stock and will sell more over time...Likely at a profit. It wouldn't be smart to sell it all at once as it would flood the market to quick.

But relax. It's just a fun commercial. It was meant for pure entertainment.
There were no hard punches thrown, or anything that could be considered a low blow, and Ford even got their name mentioned for free.
