Someone in Chevy's Marketing F***ed up badly...

The name of the video speaks for itself.

Easy mode: pressing play and watching first 10 seconds
Hard mode: watching half way
Nightmare mode: watch all of it.... twice

lol.. i watched it all.. didn't 2 years ago, they were promising 200+ miles of gasoline free driving?, then it dropped to 100 miles sometime last year, now they are saying "Up to 40 Miles No Gas" hrm... something tells me that it might just be a prius with a chevy nameplate, and it may turn into. "First 10 Miles on Battery" before they release it

seriously though, someone must have been stoned out of their mind when they threw this idea on the table

i'm just picturing people sitting around the boardroom table, the whole conversation happened something like this...

VP of Marketing - "So how are we going to get people involved with the new Volt"
Project Manager - "According to fact, people enjoy singing songs, plus they're catchy"
VP of Marketing - "I think you're onto something!"
Project Manager - "We can produce a catchy song and even have a dance that goes along with it too!"
Janitor - "I think you guys need to rethink this whole plan, I really don't think this will help convey the Volt's brand image"
VP of Marketing - "But its the only shot we got, and we're on a tight budget. Samson! Make it work"
Project Manager - "I'm already calling NBC regarding the rejected contestants of America's Best Dance crew as we speak, we'll need to hold auditions as soon as possible."
VP of Marketing - "Good, just make sure the ethnicity of the crew is evenly split, we want to ALL americans to see how good we can dance ...err build cars."

...
something like that

I've tried for nightmare mode, but my internet wont allow it. It stopped loading the video at 1:02

That video told me how fucked up Chevy's internal operation is right now
