Maybe we will hear Beyonce sing the new one at the Super Bowl...notice how we haven't heard a word about that yet from GM?

I kinda doubt the Corvette will appear as it is the Pepsi Halftime Show!

Dinah's song was great, a classic, but I think my favorite Chevy associated tune is one of the newer ones, from Brandi Carlile, The Story:

I like it but actually hoped that this sequence would have been the overtone. I loved this sequence from the second video:

It should be "Find New Car Designers". Everything that has been leaked so far sucks in my opinion. It looks like pieces and design ideas from other cars thrown together. Zero originality and new ideas. Don't fall for the hype and cheesy marketing campaigns.

Maybe they fooled us and a great new design will be unveiled on Sunday. Lets hope so.

"Find New Roads" is OK...would have liked "For the Road You're On" better.

How about, "Roads? Where We're Going We Don't Need Roads."

It could be aimed at a more universal audience. Maybe "Find New Roads" translates better globally.

They can't all be winners. It's just Chevrolet, anyway, not Corvette.

"Roads. Will. Surrender." is perfect for Corvette. I hope that's not the last we've seen of that line.

Its the world in whihc we live today. See the USA in your chevrolet is from a bygone era when many in the world would have loved ot do just that. our land has changed dramatically, and they are trying to keep pace.

From the looks of things, they are making a valliant attempt with the new vette as the flagship, along with the newer caddies. Sunday just could be a watershed moment.

Yeah, bygone, like way back in May, 2012 when I drove the Vette from Phoenix to Vancouver, BC, and then back all the way down Highway 101 along the Pacific Ocean. Those were the days

I drove all over 101 last summer when I went to Pebble Beach. Wish I'd had my Vette.

I used my fee credit paid for entry to 17 Mile Drive to eat a VERY expensive chicken breast lunch at The Lodge at Pebble Beach overlooking the 18th green. To see in person what I had seen and admired so many times on TV was TOTALLY worth it

It was on my bucket list to see the Pebble Beach Concours and Yosemite NP. The wife and I had a fantastic time and I saw a ton of fabo cars there and in Carmel.
