It may not be the fourth sequel Austin Powers fans have been waiting for, but General Motors is certainly embracing some late 1990s nostalgia with its 2022 Super Bowl commercial. The Detroit brand is blitzing the internet with short teaser videos revealing Dr. Evil and his memorable cohorts in crime, and now we get a taste of how it all comes together.
The newest teaser actually fools us a little bit. It opens much like the old Chevrolet real people commercials, with said people standing around an Ultium chassis in a conference room. The question posed to the group is simple: how far can GM's Ultium-powered EVs go on a charge? After a few realistic responses, who happens to speak up? You know who, and you know what he's going to say. One meeeelion miles? Hey, at least he's not claiming to be the Princess of Canada this time.
