ConfusedWhat can I say? I heard this one from a distance and had to wonder what Chevy is trying to really sell?
  • Are they starting a family stand with wifi? woohoo!
  • Babysitting/entertainment for child abductees? ("Put 'em in a Toyota and they'll draw attention by screaming...")

Okay, so they're trying to convince me that the new Chevy Malibu is less expensive to repair than the cost of a mobile WiFi hotspot on my phone bill?

LOL What a load of crap!!! I've never owned a Chevy passenger car that wasn't a piece of sh*t.

I've been loyal to GM most of my life but these 'Chevy Films' spots really rub me the wrong way.
Besides, it's good to get the kids away from the TV, games and social media. Spoiled brats.

Great, so kids can play with their electronic distractions? Gone are the days of wonder where kids can gaze at the scenery and be amazed at what they saw. Pretty soon games like "Punch Buggy" and counting cars will be relics of the past. I don't like where all the electronic distractions is putting us. Its dividing us!

INSTA-MUTE, INSTA-CHANNEL-CHANGE.

KIDS cannot sell me anything.
Not insurance, not viagra, not tampons, not hair gel, not garden supplies, not anything!

Well, maybe a shovel.

Back in the old days, Tiz.
 If you see a VW bug, you punch the young female friend next to you.
It's flirting. I tried to find the video where Greg Hahn explains it. No luck but this guy is batsh*t crazy
 
...LOL

Sorry, but the idea of "in-car entertainment" has been around for at least 15 years. Starting with VHS entertainment systems in minivans, it led to DVD AND video game entertainment systems for rear seat passengers - always including wireless headphones as well. And many parents are GLAD they don't have to hear Dora and Boots for 17 hours nonstop while they are driving on a road trip with their kids.
Kids are not amazed at scenery of flat corn fields in Nebraska for 400 miles...they obviously will be amazed with the Rockies.

Back after a long absence...still hating those commercials. Go away Limu Emu and Doug!

I've heard it called "punch car".

My bro and I had our own version.  It was called "I see one".  We'd pick a year and make and model, and the first of us to spot one, would punch the other one.  It didn't have to be a VW.  It could've been a 64 Olds Cutlass or a 62 Ford Mustang, or anything.  OK, it couldn't have been a 62 Mustang.

I've heard of punch buggy here and that VW commercial that aired a while back with the people demonstrating it by punching each other in the arm. Thats how I know it.

And if we see an ad in the next few weeks featuring "punch buggy", we'll know for sure the ad-holes are trolling this group.

A 1962 Mustang? Highly unlikely but not impossible. It was a prototype. A 2 seat roadster with a 175hp V4.

"In October 62, when the Mustang I debuted at the United States GP, New York, the Formula 1 race driver Dan Gurney lapped the circuit using the prototype."

I liked this Mustang prototype.  Cooler looking than what actually came out in 64.  Maybe even cooler than the 67s and 68s.  Not sure if this was 62 or 63.

1963 Mustang II. I built a model of this when I was 11 y/o. I still have no clue how to post a jpg. Here is the URL. I don't know why it is titled "Mustang Mach1 prototype" as they were 1969.
