    Meh...making fun of a fantastic and original ad doesn't make me want to buy their products at all.

    Pfft, who wants to be different and entertaining. If you want to be plain, mediocre, and a sense of humour that doesn't get the point, then buy a Chevy. Like a rock.

    LOL, excellent ad, but I still love Citroens and don't feel a thing for Chevrolet, nice ad though, real clever!

    The transformers movie wasn't that cool, but the transformers were. I remember good childhood memories.

    Im confused as to what the transformer reference has to do with having an Aveo...?

    They weren't the first to parody this ad. A choreographer pal of mine called Anthony King was hired to be in this ad for a video game about 3 years back:

    Having watched the Chevy ad, who the hell WOULDN'T want a b-boying car as opposed to...an American hatchback?
