Chevy pokes fun at the Citroen C4 Transformer

May 15, 2008

robot.jpgWe all remember the Citroen C4 transformer spot a few years back. In the original The Citreon transforms into a robot, does a little dance and transforms back into a car. This ad is Chevy’s answer to that commercial.

I have to tell you, I laughed pretty hard at this one. I love the acting from the long haired guy , its my favorite..;)

This commercial was directed by Lieven van Baelen of the Netherlands Czar production company.
They hav a vry interesting site that you could possibly spend hours going through. www.czar.nl

    C4 5 stars (top rate) on EURO NCAP tests

    I don’t get it. Chevy’s aren’t sold in Europe, so what exactly is GM gaining from making fun of Citroen?

  9. Bruno on May 17th, 2008 12:27 am

    Chevrolet bought Daewoo and rebranded Daewoo’s cars in Europe.

    They should invest the money of this campaign in improving the NCAP scores…

    It took them (Chevy) Four years just to respond to the ad. What do you think, how long will they take to respond to a product like that – may be Four Decades ??? (that is only if they can carve something out of the rock)

    Cheers…

    Great ad!!! Besides the questionable NCAP scores, the C4 is joke. Get real! CHEVY RULES
