Just when you thought they couldn't do any worse....

Anyone see this one yet?

I just saw it on the tube 5 mins ago...

Congratulations GM, you've managed to do what I thought was impossible. You've somehow spent 30 seconds selling a hybrid by bashing all hybrids. Way to go.

This brings back shades of "Who killed the electric car?"

I seem to recall someone in that movie discussing the same attitude being present in EV1 advertising. They couldn't make that car look attractive without making all of their other cars look like the crap that they really were.
