Since when does "Chevrolet" rhyme with "jet set"?

That new series of Chevy ads bugs me in so many ways. I like that they're playing off songs that mention their brand, becaise there are a lot of them, it's an iconic brand name.

But I hate that, in the print ads, they say things like "little red Corvette" or whatever and they show a BLACK Corvette. Or they say "an old gold Chevy" and show a RED Chevy. I guess they don't want to be too literal, but it feels like they went the other way.

It also bugs me that they play a snippet of that George Jones/Tammy Wynette song, "No we're not the jet set, we're the old Chevrolet set." I hate that the song rhymes "Chevrolet" with "jet set." Ugh.

But it could be worse. Some person on Yahoo! Answers thought the lyics were "no, we're not the JETSONS." Heh.
