Chevy's Contest Spawns Anti-SUV Ads

Tuesday April 4, 2006
Chevy's contest to have consumers create an ad for the 2007 Tahoe has spawned at least two anti-SUV commercials on the company's own Web site. The user-created ads attack the SUV's effect on the environment and the impact on global warming.

As of this writing, Chevy hasn't taken down a consumer-submitted commercial calling SUVs environmentally unfriendly. One consumer's ad even points people on Chevy's Web site to ExxposeExxon.org.
