The Ford ad where the twentysomething girl describes her new Focus as "sleek" and "sporty". Compared to what? A 1968 Checker Marathon perhaps?

Replying to: roadburner (Apr 21, 2009 7:37 pm) Too bad they didn't bring the new euro Focus. Ford had the Fiesta at the NY Auto Show but it was closed up. They need to show that they are taking small cars seriously and get the new Fiesta and Focus over here to the US market. Those cars do actually have sporty models that are worthy.

Today I heard the radio version of this ad. I just cringe when I hear know-nothings calling BMW automobiles "Beemers". In any event, I doubt that Munich lost any sleep over that customer defecting....

Replying to: roadburner (Jun 18, 2009 8:28 pm) Remember the short mini-skirts that Cindy Crawford wore in the "Caddy that zigs" commercials? Those offended female buyers like nothing else. I think this ad is actually fine. 5 series size for a 3 series price, I think it sends the right message. A successful, passionate middle-aged woman is a much better spokesperson for this car than a model in a miniskirt.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 19, 2009 11:08 am) But who is the ad's target audience? Certainly not Audi/BMW?MB shoppers and/or enthusiasts. Middle aged women? They are about the youngest people you ever see driving a CTS. I guess Gubmint Motors is trying to throw everything but the kitchen sink at the wall and is praying that something sticks...

...is BACK! Ugh. At least it doesn't have the dreaded "Cash for Clunkers" crap in it. At least for now anyways. Also these new VW "future" ads are getting on my last nerve. I liked them at first, but, as usual, they got ran into the ground with WAY more airings than is necessary.

Inc.'s models made buyers eligible for cash-for-clunkers rebates, Honda still couldn't pull out of its recent sales doldrums, recording July sales down 17.3 percent compared with last year."
