I remember the last time Ford and GM got into this one upmanship war and it wasn't pretty. Back in the late 80's, the all new Silverado vs. the new old Ford.

I might be fun to watch but its counter productive. I think Ford learned that anything other than continuing the existing ad campaign and highlighting what is good about Ford vs. GM, well it will turn more people on than what GM is doing. Frankly, it turns some people off to GM products. When you can't win by touting your good points vs. the competition, then do what Ford did back in the 60's. They assessed their product against the competition and saw what they were doing wrong. They corrected it and 30+ year of being the #1 selling vehicle in America speaks for itself.

All this said, that kind of commercial would send me anywhere by GM.

My opinion for what it's worth.

Mike (and yes, I bleed Ford engine blue)
