This video shows a Chinese woman (supposedly in Shanghai) arguing with a tow truck driver, who appears to want to tow her Chevrolet Captiva away for illegally parking or some kind of offense or another. She got fed up of arguing and just drove her Captiva away, still attached to the tow truck! Probably a testament to the torque a Captiva has, especially the turbodiesel version. This is probably a viral advertisement of some sort, but still quite a smart one. Watch the video after the jump.

Nice video. Looks like a real life case. Knowing women nowadays, anything is possible….!!!!
innovotative and funny…that wat makes any advertisment successful…..
next time tow ze jumbo jet
even more impressive coz the rear wheels were jacked up.. hahaha.
its time to get a suv
That great, powerfull car.
What a hilarious moment for a troubled car ompany.
haha… the tow truck didnt put into handbrake/P position? so much power on the captiva…
Having the rear wheels jacked up is not the issue. This car is front wheel drive, even if it’s not full-time 4WD.
wow …
that was really COOL !!!
GM can considered to use this video as their ads for the Captiva …
hahax …
genuis …
I think it’s a viral video. It might be possible, but the way the video is shot is a giveaway that it’s a viral video rather than a true story…
i wished we had the opel antara , much better interior
>>>next time tow ze jumbo jet
i’m not sure if this Captiva can tow a jumbo jet,but VW Touareg can…i watched it on youtube by fifthgear
hahaha…i will not be surprised if the chinese girl is awarded another captiva from GM..haha…..

its supposed to be funny
i’m not even looking at the technical aspects of whether you can do this for real or not.. i’m just saying as a funny visual representation of the “power” of this car, it looks more effective by showing the car tow the truck away just with the front wheels.

to pull the dick off me

don’t be an ass poser, just because you don’t have an alpina you don’t have to be jealous of somebody who really has an alpina. now why don’t u change ur name to my current display name since youre so interested in me.
Wondering whether they modified the car to pull the tow truck, or modified the video. The second option seems more viable since GM under financial crisis.
its fake la
very nice video.If the video is true then this chevy is indeed powerful..
VERY WONDERFUL VIDEO. THIS VIDEO TELL US THAT THE CHEVROLET CAPTIVA HAVE A LOT OF HORSEPOWER TO TOW AWAY A TOW TRUCK.
