    The sad thing is, if they had used a Chrysler product in the ad, nobody would have noticed any difference in the interior.... #adwatch

    I have a kid who, while very young, developed a very regular #2 habit: Wednesday evenings. Nursed babies don't mess quite so much as bottlefed, though there are the usual number of wet diapers to deal with. But the narstier ones, not so much. Thus, the once-a-week schedule. And it was fantastic. Nothing can top having a kid who you know will not utterly ruin your trip to the park with a Superfund site in his britches.

    Until he skipped a Wednesday. Then he'd gone over ten days. Then we're closing in on two weeks He's starting to get uncharacteristically cranky and fussy. We knuckle under and call Ask-A-Nurse. She says give the kid some castor oil and everything should be fine, some babies just get a little anal retentive - literally. She's never actually seen a once-a-week kid but doesn't think it's totally out of the realm of possibility, and other long-interval kids sometimes get this retention thing going, so do the castor oil and see what happens.

    We did the castor oil.

    About an hour later there was this...sound. And the kid's face suddenly got really horrified and relieved and inside the diaper was Mt. Vepoopius, a mountain of poo like you've never seen unless you own a Saint Bernard. We changed him on a big sheet of newspaper opened up, and some still got away. We blamed that spot on the cat, but we knew. So did the cat.

    What's this got to do with cars? Not a damn thing. #adwatch

    It would have just been gross without the comic relief of trying the wipers.

    The moonlanding was a great technological achievement and to quote "A huge step for mankind". It was groundbreaking and the pinnacle of the space programme.

    The Captiva, on the other hand...

    It's got the name of the landing module, the paint job of the space shuttle, the number of wheels of the lunar rover, and the space suit of fiction. What a strange, German mashup of NASA stuff.

    You're telling us that Chevy was making these forty years ago, to get the astronauts to their Arizona film studio set, and it's only now become declassified?

    Shouldn't the colors be "orbiter white" and "universe black" instead? Stunning oversight for a company with such a refreshingly no-nonsense name.

    I don't understand all the hate towards GM. They're in terrible financial shape and merely trying to move old inventory. They make a little bit of dough and they get rid of extra baggage. They're a company that's doing what it can with limited resources. Jeez, it's like "what do you people want?" If you have such great ideas then by all means, contact GM with your insight. I'm sure they'll be glad to here your ingenious solution.


    Also, I think a large chunk of commenters here want GM to be a company for people who're heavy duty car enthusiasts (like most jalops). In their perfect world, GM wouldn't even use the same platform on more than one car. They would also only make performance-esque autos that would all have european styling and sensitive steering. But, you see, the problem is that GM can't listen to us. The part of the consumer market that we jalops take up is relatively tiny. So what do you want?


    Say GM does start doing exactly what I just said and starts acting like a bigger version of say, BMW. Then it'll have all the respect from the jalops, but when all 10,000 of us (if that) go to buy our new GM's, Wagoner's going to ask us...


    "Where's the rest of you guys?"


    "Huh, this is it. All 10,000 of us."


    "What!? Are you telling me we reformed a huge corporation to only cater to a small group of consumers? How are we supposed to make any profit?"


    "Well, I guess we didn't think about that. But hey, at least you're catering to the coolest consumers."


    Then Wagoner's head explodes and takes out us and the entire Tech Center.

    Chevy has been selling them rebadged Daewoo for around three years here in Turkey. And yes, they tout them as...

    a) American cars

    b) American muscle

    c) American legacy

    d) American luxury

    e) All of the above


    Yes, it's e.
