Script in English
We hear an older male hypnotist: I want you to relax and breathe slowly...in and out...listen closely to my voice...forget all you know about Chevrolet...I want you to forget all your preconceived notions of large thirsty American cars...now I want you to re-think and think NEW Chevrolet: six small and middle size cars from 8,000 Euro with extensive warranties...when I snap my fingers, you'll visit Chevrolet.se and read more. (SNAP!)
Script in Orginal Language
Vi hör en äldre manlig hypnotisör: Jag vill att du slappnar av och andas lugnt…in och ut…lyssna NOGA till min röst…glöm allt du vet om Chevrolet…jag vill att du släpper förutfattade meningar om feta och törstiga amerikanare…nu vill jag att du tänker om, och tänker nya Chevrolet, sex små och medelstora bilar från 78 400, med omfattande garantier…när jag knäpper med fingrarna besöker du Chevrolet.se och läser mer. (KNÄPP!)
Brief Explanation
In Sweden, Chevrolet are known for being American and producing large, thirsty and expensive cars. So when GM decided to launch Chevrolet as their new value brand we needed to change the public’s view of the brand completely. We decided to hypnotise them and make them re-think.
