Yes we read the disclaimer, but we think that GM is testing the waters.

Why would Car & Driver spend the money on a full page hoax advertisement, plus the Firebird graphic is copyrighted, and would need GM approval prior to usage or in this case print ?

HMMMMMMMMM....

Held over from the April issue?
This will be GM's outlet for their ChiCom cars?
DeLorean's got some startup money from Columbia?

Because C/D (like the rest of the car mags) is failing, and has few print ads, and needed SOMETHING on "Cover 3" as it's called in the biz. 

Better than a blank page, or a freebie ad for sex change hormones.

Sad times for the once powerful and profitable car magazine world.
