I like it. Especially when they spent 7 million for that ad time. When they still owe for the bail out, which Ford never needed.

What they didn't tell you is that Dave was actually busy pulling the Chevy trucks out from under the rock piles...

Ford already responded and has done so for many years just by virtue of their sales numbers. These trucks sell themselves.

'Ya got to love desperation when it shows in advertising.

Meanwhile in Dearborn Michigan all the Ford guys are already rebuilding the world from the ashes of the Chevy's, Dodge's, and various Japanese "trucks".

Talking

Don't get me wrong I like Chevy and all but not as much as Ford. I have always laughed at the new saying they have "Chevy Runs Deep" what does that mean. Sound like to me they left out a few words. Chevy runs in deep sh**. Ya that was a good one Chevy. P.S. You should have left the Twinkies out it would have had alot more people sold . By the way Chevy revenge is a you know what. . I like what other people put on this topic.

I thought it was a stupid commercial, and Ford was even MORE stupid for acknowledging it. GM is getting a ton of free publicity just from Ford arguing a stupid point.

HAHAHAHAHAHA I thought the commercial was hillarious. But then again I think most liars are! Like the ones on COPS that are on camera stealing a car, get busted in the same car, run and get caught with cameras following them, then swear "it wasn't them" HAHAHA I love it.

In the advertising world, you always compare yourself to number one. I noticed that it was Ford not Dodge or Toyota.

There weren't any Fords left because only the bad stuff got left behind in post apocalyptic Earth.

I'm not sure any "response" is necessary. what Ford has already said probably shouldn't have, other than I think it's kinda standard operating procedure any time brand x puts down brand y in an ad. It was a fun ad, making light of the end of the world belief. If I and my Ford aren't around to see it, I'm ok with that, doesn't look like a world I want to clean up.
 


Quick Reply: Chevy took the gloves off. How will ford respond?
