The commercials aren't aimed towards people that have their hearts set on a 5 series. The commercials are for people that are looking at 1 series, 3 series, nissan sedans, toyota sedans, etc. What GM wants them to stop and think about is "I could get this Nissan Maxima for 30k, or I could get a G8 for the same price which beats a 5 series in many categories. Kind of makes that Maxima seem insignificant" They are pushing the "bang for the buck" argument by comparing it to a vehicle nearly twice its MSRP. I think it is very effective.
