That was probably the most high tech comercial of its time.

Whats funny is that in 1967, Chevrolet used Camaro's larger size as a selling tool, and not as a disadvantage.

I always liked the old GM commercials. Especially the "Heartbeat of America" campaign

I haven't seen one, mostly just general GM commercials, except for the few out there promoting the general passenger cars/suvs, and I don't even watch much tv myself. I think GM is focusing on changing their reputation. A commercial aimed towards the sports car market right now probably wouldn't be too wise. Anybody who would be interested in a camaro does their own research..it pretty much markets itself.

Its been discussed here 100 times now.

The new guy in charge of GM marketing said that there will be a Camaro commercial some time this month. Probably for Football.

To be honest, I dont see the need to spend money on the Camaro's advertising, showing burn outs and aggressive driving, talking about its muscle. People know what it is, so why spend the money on it.

There are a lot of Camaro print ads that were all over car rags.

On top of all that, the Camaro's demographic also is considered to be active in social media and targeted advertising (via cookies, etc). More effective than TV in some cases.
