Chevy commercial????

Has anyone seen that new Chevy truck Commercial? The guy backs the truck up to a huge tree, wraps a tow strap around it, get in, pulls on the tree, spins the tires. He gets out unhooks the trucks rolls up the straps and drives away.

What is the point??? Am I missing something??( besides the fact it's a Chevy)

Yeah.....can't remember what channel it was, but I was up late one night watching TV, and I must have seen that commercial a dozen times in a couple hours. I don't have anything against Chevy/GMC, per se, but, every ten minutes?!

I heard someone say once that Ford should come out with a commercial where they hook up to the same tree then instead of it streching the truck the Ford rips the tree out of the ground then the words Built For Tough come up on the screen. Sounds like a winner to me.

My favorite ford commercial was the superduty one at the boat ramp. The guy's chevy got pulled down the boat ramp by his boat and it went into the water. The superduty came by and pulled the chevy and his boat out of the water. The chevy guy's wife goes "wow that sank fast" and the ford guy goes "yup, like a rock"....

Loved that one.

I agree, they should rip the tree out of the ground, and have it fall on the Chevy.

I liked that one. I also liked the one where you see a guy snowblowing in his front yard. You assume he is blowing it from the driveway to the grass. But, he's not. He's blowing it from the grass to the driveway. Then you see his garage door open and out he flys in his Ford Explorer. That was good too!
