Wrong car, but a great ad.

Good for GM on this ad. Way to go.

True enough but not the whole truth. Way to go GM :roll:

Negative Nancy says the implication there is that the Volt is the baby of the three; the grownups drive the silverado or whatever that gas car is, malibu or impala or other donk in waiting.

More like "Mom, Dad, I swing both ways!"

"Mom, Dad...I'm flaming."

hmmm, interesting take on the ad.

i took it to be an SUV and a Spark for parents since it produced a child of gas and electricity?

A few weeks back I was talking to the owner of a brand new Prius C how they liked the car and asked if they had considered a Leaf or a Volt. He said that he didn't think public charging infrastructure was adequate enough for him to be driving a pure electric around.

I had to remind him that the volt wasn't a pure electric.

I guess GM's marketing strategy swings both ways, eh? :roll:

Cute. And surprising. I didn't think GM had it in 'em. Maybe it was their near-death experience?

Mom, Dad, I'm partially electric...

"Mom, Dad...I'm flaming."

Perpetuating the myth about Volt fires? :lol:
