Replying to: xrunner2 (Mar 24, 2009 2:44 pm) Yeah, those MB Christmas spots ring a bell...maybe I wasn't paying attention. I know MB has copied the now legendary Lexus December sales events.   Maybe my heart is colder...Stepford wives/kept women/whipped consumeristic "men" don't tug at my heart. Those ads seem to be about materialism and living above one's means...the cars seem to be hanging around a house you just know would be over-bought. The RX and maybe LX have a world built around them now.   And I still can't get over a not-very-old guy who was supposed to be enthused over an ES. Give me a break.   This tugs at my heart   This is nice and sentimental too   For Buick, maybe a good promo could be buy a new Lucerne at sticker, get a nice golf cart for free. I bet a lot of the target market for those doesn't negotiate very hard anyway...

He makes fun of the Ford tailgate step and the Tundra's V6 gas mileage.   Honestly that must be the dumbest ad ever. They highlight a great feature from a successful competitor.   I saw it casually the first time, not really paying close attention, and I thought it was an ad for Ford.

Wait a minute. It's the atmosphere at vine covered Wrigley Field that draws people there to get drunk and oh, maybe watch a ballgame. I would think that Honda or Toyota would never get invoved with losers like Cubs.

"Oh, a little man step," and I'm thinking "what a great idea!" If I were ever in the pickup market.... Replies to this message: ateixeira (Apr 03, 2009 10:10 am)

...did I hallucinate this ad, or is BMW truly offering to pay the first three payments on a new 3 or 5 Series? What's the catch? Replies to this message: kyfdx (Apr 05, 2009 7:43 am) roadburner (Apr 16, 2009 8:03 pm) ateixeira (Apr 21, 2009 7:29 am)

Replying to: lemko (Apr 04, 2009 4:18 pm) I think it's two payments.... the program varies on models, etc.. Maximum of $750 per payment, so an incentive of around $1500...   They've had much bigger incentives than that, though in other forms.. 0.9% financing for 60 months on most of the model lineup at one time or the other in the last year.... That's a $4000 incentive on a loan of $40K...   $3000 on 335i sedans right now... $4000 on X3s...   Nothing new for BMW... They've incentivized cars through cheap leases for years..

Replying to: kyfdx (Apr 05, 2009 7:43 am) BMW Financial has offered the two payment deal for BMW bikes several times over the past few years. It almost persuaded me to by one of those wonderfully weird Rocksters:   Replies to this message: ateixeira (Apr 21, 2009 7:29 am)

Maybe I just have a stupid sense of humor, but the new Carfax commercials crack me up.   Car Fox   Better than Carfax

There's a set of Honda ads on now, they might just be local...with a person calling their car like a pet dog or cat - "Here Honda Honda Honda", and the car comes to them. It's like a commercial my mom would write, a little corny.
