to be honest, i had to go back and look at my paperwork to see what warranty i had.

My only other option would have been to call the manufacturer.

An elderly woman in a panic - worried about choosing whether to be able to drive or afford her medications might not make the connection - might be likely to call and sign up for extended coverage.

personally, i think it is a little deceptive... and laws should be enacted to force these companies to include a single line of text top dead center of the mailing.... and that text should read.

"THIS OFFER OF WARRANTY SOLICITATION DOES NOT COME FROM CHEVROLET. THIS COMPANY IS NOT A REPRESENTATIVE OF CHEVROLET OR ANY OF IT'S AFFILIATES. THIS IS AN OFFER FOR EXTENDED, THIRD PARTY WARRANTY WHICH SUPPLEMENTS THAT WHICH YOU MAY OR MAY NOT ALREADY HAVE."
