They need to dumb down the marketing to something that appeals to the typical muscle car buyer. Get down to the Neanderthalistic primal urge that these cars bring out of us...

No question, the best Chevy add has to be the one with the white ZR1 running some back roads and they say something like: We had to detune it by 100 some horsepower just to make things fair with Ferraris, Porsches and other less powerful cars....that was the best!!!

Not for long.

In a few short years you will be have to replace the "4" with an "8".

I LMAO when I saw the Camaro commercial for the first time and just giggled again, but the Ford ad didn't appeal/ relate to me at all because of the setting and situations.

I'm not interested in what a some ford executive considers a pretty woman with short hair and a scarf in a big city to sell me on a product, or a D-bag w/ lame tribal tattoo's and a hipster bicycle rider.

but ya gotta admit....the grin on that little girls face at the end of the commercial is priceless.
