Default GM launches Chevy Volt paint color naming contest, winner gets to test-drive it in LA



Quote:
The main production color of the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid car is the silver exterior with an emerald hue that we’ve been seeing in press photos and at auto shows; however, General Motors has yet to pick a name for the color and needs your help.

Chevrolet has launched a new online contest over at chevroletvoltage.com and is asking for color name suggestions. The contest will award three finalists a chance to be flown down to Los Angeles this December to compete for a final chance to be among the first to test-drive a pre-production Volt. All three finalists and a guest will get a roundtrip airfare to Los Angeles, two nights standard hotel accommodations, a $400 gift card and admission to the LA Auto Show on December 2, 2009.

The grand-prize winner will be announced by Chevrolet on Dec. 1 and will be given a chance to test-drive the pre-production Volt.

Enter at chevroletvoltage.com for your chance to win

Why would you want to enter this contest to test drive a car that will eventually be at your local dealer.




Oh, forgot they aren't really gonna make any of these.

no, they will. and it will be a massive loss for the company, the govt that is gonna pump more money into the electric car crap, and people that buy them when it comes time for service and battery replacement.

I suggested "Bailout Green" to the site. Maybe they could make a Volt that is the same color as a dollar bill!

Boring Gray #3.

Seems like they're taking lessons from Subaru on the color choices for these: Red, black, white, and three shades of silver/gray.

Do we get to drive it in LA, or just sit in traffic?

before I scrolled down to your post I was already thinking along the same lines. I think when Bush's administration was going away there was a contest to come up with IceCream name that would be a tribute to Bush's years.

I immediately thought about the same silly names for the VOLT

edit: found the ice cream list


Quote:
Ben & Jerry created Yes Pecan! ice cream flavor to honor Obama.

They then asked people to fill in the blank to the following statement:
For George W. we created '_________.'

Here are some of their favorite responses:

Grape Depression

Abu Grape

Cluster Fudge

Nut'n Accomplished

Iraqi Road

Choc 'n Awe

WireTapioca

Impeach Cobbler

Guantanamallow

imPeachmint

Good Riddance You Lousy Mother****er Swirl

Heck of a job, Brownie

Neocon Politan

RockyRoad to Fascism

The Reese's-cession

Cookie D'oh

The Housing Crunch

Nougalar Proliferation

Death by Chocolate

Death by Torture

Credit Crunch

Country Pumpkin

Chunky Monkey in Chief

George Bush Doesn't Care about Dark Chocolate

WM Delicious

Chocolate Chimp

Bloody Sundae

Caramel Preemptive Stripe

I broke the law and am responsible for the deaths of thousands . . . with nuts
