Wow, new GM commercial already!
Obviously they were prepared the chapter 11 thing as they just had a GMreinvention.com commercial during the hockey game. Hopefully that's a good sign that they have a clue of what they need to do!

Yeah, the reinvention commercial is great stuff. Done by the same people who did Saturn's commercials for the last few years, including the "Rethink American" campaign.

The random clips, like the Moon landing and Joe Louis, are meant to remind viewers of better days and conjure up good memories. The problem for me is the commercial starts off too negative and takes awhile to get hopeful. I don't think people right now need to be reminded of the failure that struck down GM or need the bleak images of forlorn factory workers and over crowded city streets. We see enough of that on the news.

Nope. It's only being shut down, not sold like Hummer and Saturn(which is tentatively sold).

Thats a good commercial. I certainly hope they have identified a path forward, keeping costs down without sacrificing too much more than they already have.
GM cant rely on American patriotism anymore, as its selling vehicle (no pun intended) to cause Americans to want to buy their products. The commercial is patriot in image, with the message of control - in control of their destiny as a company.
GM's marketing groups have their work cut out for them.

I'm very upset that they have killed off Pontiac and are selling Saturn. I don't know what to think of them. Except Rick Wagoner ran them into the damn ground.. Good Commercial though.

Rick didnt run them into the ground. Rick is responsable for a lot of many good things to happen to GM over his shore tenure as CEO.
The 20 years of bad moves before him sure didnt help.
