congrats indeed!
I disagree. It’s Mitsubishi. Ya doo doo head.
And don’t tell me it was a pun. No one comes up with puns THAT bad.
Huzzah for Mitsubishi!
For what I dunno.
That’s really odd. The gerbils timed me out when I posted this originally. I checked to see if it had posted, but it had not.
**First, they give away their vehicles to (IMHO) naive individuals without so much as one solitary monthly payment for 12 months. Before you know it, you’re are 25% upside down in the loan for the car before you make even the first payment. But they’ve crossed the line with the latest radio ad.
Let me set the stage for you. Wise-cracking announcer bragging about the zero down, zero payments and zero interest on every Mitsubishi. Customer questions it in disbelief. “This vehicle, too?”, customer asks. They go through 20 seconds of back and forth about how it’s every single, solitary vehicle Mitsubishi sells. Period. Customer still doesn’t believe it, so announcer bangs his head against a fender to make the customer believe it.
Commercial ends and they go into the legal-ease. Blah… blah…blah… “Excudes Mitsubishi Explipse Convertible and [some other vehicle]”.
What the fuck? Are the ad people that stupid? Do they think the car-buying public is that stupid? Do they think that little of their commercial that they believe we’ll forget the underlying theme of the entire commercial in 2 seconds?
This type of idiocy just makes me cringe. Anyone else have any other examples of this level of stupidity in advertising?**
There’s the (belated) rant.
And, no the misspelling was not intentional. Indeed, my head is composed entirely of fecal matter.
This is Mitsubishi we are talking about, right…the “we can fight every woman in our company complaining about her breasts being touched” Mitsubishi?
(OK, I’m exaggerating, but Mitsubishi isn’t the sharpest knife in the Corporate drawer).
Fair enough, but I still want a Space Wagon.
Bright blue…
“From the people who brought you Pearl Harbor” Great book title.
Zero and Mitsubishi. Gotta love it.
Well, we took the Mitsubishi deal. It worked out great for us because we are a family getting along with one vehicle when we have needed two for ages. However, being the military family of an enlisted man don’t exactly make for lots of disposable income.
However, I am currently in nursing school (one of the big reasons we desperately needed another car) and in nine-eleven months, I will have a fairly nicely paying job, and will be able to afford a car payment.
So, we get the car now, when we really need it, and start paying then, when we will be able to afford it. Add no interest financing to that equation, and I’d say we got a good deal.
