OnStar slip up reveals name of secret Chevrolet performance car | Fox News


^^^^^CHECK IT

 

I will crap all over the idea of the new car being letters instead of an actual name. This isn't Europe is it?

 

This may will be what it looks like. This was the SS Concept car that GM exibited a couple of years ago.

 

I really wonder if it was a 'slip up' or not. I mean, what better way to get the word out into the media about a new car entering the market? By having someone discover the 'secret' adds mystique and stirs curiosity prior to release...just what the manufacturer wants. You don't really think those 'prototype' iphones were accidently left in a public bar...twice...do you? It sounds to me like just another clever marketing tool at work.

 

man its hard to say... but who knows! i hope its just not called "SS" thatd suck. its gotta have another letter atleast like the SSR and HHR

 

Sometimes they "leak" information to test people's reactions. If it's positive, they go with it. If not, it gets changed.

 

If that is the car I could live with that. I like it 100% better than anything else GM has put out in the last few years. It has a nice natural flow to it and I dont really care what they call it but just calling it SS seems a little lazy.

 

That what I say about most European manufacturers. It demonstrates a real lack of creativity. Volkswagen, as much as I hate them, at least takes the time to name all their cars. Not many other European car makers do.
The sad part is that it actually works for selling cars. I would say "only on the weak minded". Sales on the Pontiac GrandAm grew 300% when renamed G6. So then GM rode that out and started renaming all the Pontiacs to letter-number. So then I wasn't so disappointed to see it go.
I know a few good cars are just letters, not names. Like my beloved-to-be CTS-V Wagon. They are great cars inspite the name, certainly not because of it. And they have to be pretty damn great because they enter the market with the first strike already against them. But I guess the weak minded's money is as good as anyone else's.

 

Maybe it's the society we live in. It's just moves too fast for names. everything is reduced to letters.lol I mean idk, Maybe they are just trying to appeal to the younger buyers.omg

 

GM will screw it up somehow they always do
