Car Commercials, the good, the bad, and the annoying!

Funny thing is, they are.

I was critical of the Prius C interior and the salesman gave me the whole recycled-materials-used spiel. I felt like saying they should use new and unused stuff.

Here comes the Hang Over - now I'm getting those follow-up calls, "So, when are you going to come in to buy a car?" The Hyundai guy doesn't even remember I want the pano without the leather/huge rims.

Not the propulsion system, etc.

Never give your number, just your email. That will suffice for them, and you can filter out the nagging.

Caller ID works wonders. I just have to be on guard.

This is almost 4 seperate ads.

The Volt one feels Prius-ish.

Spark matching colors is neat, but I'm not sure where all the shopping comes from. Maybe they shop too much so a Spark is all they can afford to drive?

Sonic and skate board connection comes from the Rob Dyrdek barrel roll.

Corvette part is cool.

Impala has a Bond-ish guy but it goes by quick.

A little all over the place? What do you guys think?

One of those "free" numbers works good for that. I have a GrandCentral* number that rings and if the caller doesn't announce, it goes to voice mail. Or I can just dump 'em to voice mail.

(*number still works okay in spite of Google buying them; no ads yet but they probably track everything).

Yeah, I have Google Voice and I can do that as well.

With one call so far I'm not too worried.
