It was aired, then pulled off back when they first released the C6 and the whole American Revolution started.
WTLY is in order here. Too many mom's were upset that kids might take corvettes and try driving them upside down in large cement water mains.......
Porsche did a similar commercial, but didnt have the kid driving. A kid sees a 911 driving around, and then rides his bike to his local Porsche dealer where a salesman meets the kid at the door. The kid asks to sit in the 911, and the salesman treats him as a prospective buyer, opens the door, all that. Kid makes the noise and all this...gets out and says to teh salesman, "see you in 30 years" or somethng like that.
The whole image of kids dreaming about driving these sports cars, IMO, was a good idea and it seems that the 2 icons of your attainable sports cars came up with the same basic concept of a commercial at the same time.
