Ford & GM Spar Over SuperBowl Commercial

I didn't catch the game, as I was too busy racing on GT5, but apparently GM aired a commercial that the big wheels at Ford didn't like too much.....

Meh, let Chevy show it. They need all the help they can get when Ford is the best selling truck for 34 years and counting.

Who knows, maybe Ford will sue them, and the Gov't can flip the bill for GM with another bail-out.

First rule in sales is to never run down the competition instead let people know why your product is the best.

^^^Exactly. I don't care what your competitor can't do, I care about what your product can do.

Let them do, say as they please. It makes their big headed ego's feel better about their over priced products!
Sales tell the overall winner in the end..... how many years straight in a row has Ford come on top with their F series!!?? That's right!

LOL, it was a funny commercial but I can see why Ford is pissed - they've never aired a commercial specifically slamming Chevy. It's in poor taste - it's like political attack ads, people see right through them. I DID think this GM commercial was hilarious last night. I'm not a Camaro fan, but this had me in stiches ...


This Acura NSX commercial was AWESOME too ...

That's gm's style. Ford commercials talk about their product and how good it is. Gm just bashes everyone else's.
