Here's the first hint that Government Motors' new VOLT is gonna be a real pile of manure!

This is just the kind of promotion the Soviets would offer when announcing the New and Improved 1978 Lada.

The blond ain't too bad, but not much of a dancer. The dance does look a bit like a democrat . . well, never mind.

So who was singing while Dizzy Denny & The Dancing Dimwits pranced around? It sounded like Cyndi Lauper on speed.

Is this the entire commercial? At 2.22 minutes I'd think it must be, yet the only sighting of the actual car is in the background. Not a good sign when you don't want the public looking at the product you're pushing. Guess they figure the song & dance will pique the interest of potential customers and once they're in a showroom they're caught!

The car must be a real P.O.S.

Nickie , where did you find this crap ... Detroit or Washington?

OMFG? That must have been filmed at the LA Auto Show.

Nick, I see you working. You are trying to make me curse by posting stuff like this. But I am not going to fall for this trap ...

That crap makes me want to wretch ... and buy a Ford ... or a Nissan.

How embarrassing for those people to be reduced to humiliating themselves in a Soviet-style promo of a horrific product. And of course the eco-comrades are in uniform.

It is bad enough that the "Big 0" and his "eco fool friends" want to limit our daily driving, but to only 40 miles? Are they kidding me? What if someone wants to travel to Las Vegas? Oh yeah, I forgot, don't go to Vegas and blow your money. Save that for all the trips the "Big 0" takes to stump for "Pinky" - Harry Reid.

Did Chevy do this? Oh My God....
And if you're a taxpayer, You paid for this.

Nickie, your read on this was spot on.

Hey, let's not talk about one aspect of the car, lets put some people out there break dancing with a kindergarten substitution teacher singing and some high school musicians in the background.

My God...

PS - The Chevy HHR is the most uncomfortable piece of crap I've ever sat in. My wife rented one.
It's a coffin. A very uncomfortable one.

Chevy needs to be put out of its misery. Seriously.

Looks like something my high school's cheerleaders would have done.
We just financed a Ford Focus two weeks ago. Rock.
40 miles would get us, oh, four laps of Springfield. Actually, less then, more like maybe 2.

This thing is the toaster that the hamsters are poking fun of in the Kia commercial.

Some one mentioned govt. music. That is next. Trololo man is limbering up the pipes. Be greatly afraid.

Okay, I just watched it again, so now I am thinking clearly ...

Every one in that video should be jailed for a minimum 5 years, except ... except the dude spinning on his head.

He is to be exiled to Waziristan and required to do that dance three times per day for a fortnight. If he makes it out alive, he goes free.

GM is all Three Stooges of the Big Three. This is the company that gave you the Chevrolet Celebrity Euro Sport which became the Urine Spot within days, the Equiknocks, a five-cylinder engine, Mister Goodwrench (porn star?), untempered crank shafts, a diesel engine that crapped out within five miles, the Olds 200 transmission, an SUV with four wheels that steer, and "Professional Grade Engineering", which begs the question of what they gave you before they gave you PGE...Amateur Grade Engineering?

Worst of all, GM is also responsible for lifting Michael Moore's face from the deep fat fryer to the national stage.

Remember: when some Veep at GM was asked what the difference is between a Chevy Cavalier and a Cadillac Cimmaron, he said "about five thousand dollars..."

For forty years, GM has acted like a private version of Big Government. Now it IS Big Government. I wouldn't by a Delco spark plug for fear that it might explode.
