yea i dont know if that was one of our finer moves. I know the whole thing, it saved lives in the long run and whatnot, but I still dont know if its something we want to remind the world of. especially Japan

It’s a joke. You know. Cadillac, New York, premium segment.

That’s a bit of a reach.

I know. But could’ve been worse.

I chuckled. I still like the idea of GM putting out an ad showing the M18 Hellcat knocking out a Panther spliced with footage of a CTS-V stomping an E63 on the Nurburgring with the subtitle “Made in America, Tested in Germany”

(Yes I know the Hellcat was a Buick)

Yep, should’ve left that to the Germans to invent. I’m sure everything would’ve ended up fine.

Is this official marketing material?

YES. THIS.

although, replace the tanks, with airplanes.

Say a P51-D, catching up to a pair of messers! and as the gunner gets them in his sights, cut to a shot of the interior of a CTS-V, tailing an E63 AMG and an M5.

Then, the two messers should spit ways, causing the P51-D to have to go in a nosedive, and as it does cut to a scene of the caddy accelerating. at this exact point, AC/DC’s ‘Shoot to thrill’ should pick up from the chorus, and the CTS-V closes in on the Germans.

Meanwhile ,the P51-D is now being tailed by the messers, and is avoiding them successfully. While this is going on, the CTS-V is trying to get buy the Germans.

Now, a 2nd P51-D comes out of nowhere and blows the messers out, and as the camera zooms in on the smoke, a CTS-V and an ATS-V fly out through it, behind them the german sports sedans.

AS they gun for the final straight, a pair of P51-D’s flies overhead; and the tagline that you suggested plays.

“Made in America, Tested on Germans”

Well, Unfortunately unless your willing to apply rule number 1 of warfare, you aren’t serious about the issue.

1. My definition of a fair fight: My side goes home alive and well and fuck everyone else.

While most solider deplores civilian casualties, unfortunately the bad guys never separate themselves from the civilians.

Sometimes I like to do a little image “tailoring”. Apparently people seem to like what I do, so probably I have an eye for those things.

I’ll add that to the list of things I could’ve done with my life, instead of the stupid HR job I have right now.

Yes, please go do GM ads so I can bring back Pontiac and have ads worthy of the brand.

Unfortunately, America have been coming up with the wrong answer for years. Decades. They may have finally gotten it right, but after so much flailing around, will anybody care?
