The real reason was the Madonna sound track

An article in the December issue of Motor Trend recounts how Chevrolet pulled the plug on an ad by Guy Ritchie for the 2005 Corvette. The ad featured a ten-year-old boy driving his dream car through the streets of New York. The article also features an amusing sidebar detailing earlier examples of commercials produced by car companies that have been withdrawn as a result of complaints. Oddly, quite a few involve cruelty to animals. Mmm. I'm saying nothing about Jeremy Clarkson.
