Oh, they are definitely saying that… but they have pictures… a Jetta, a Chrysler 300, and a Jeep Liberty.
And the kicker… one of them is Jewish and still got a car for Christmas. My kids got sweaters.
Jerry Seinfeld gave his dad a new Cadillac once.
Look how that turned out!
Yep - cars are commonplace. My brother gave his wife a car for Christmas. It seems extravagant, and maybe it is a little, but they were getting a new car anyway. Giving it as a Christmas present just makes it a little fun. I’m pretty sure she knew exterior colors and interior styles, just not specifics on the car.
I just saw the Audi ad-where the schmuck with a Lexus sees an Audi-and dumps his car keys in the Salvation Army kettle (the Elf with the funny ears comments “we need a bigger kettle”).
Do rich idiots really give their Lexus cars away when smitten by Audi?
Yes, Ralph, they give their cars away.
Of course. Like most commercials, this one is based on a common occurrence in real life. Just like the elaborate contraptions that I use to steal my neighbor’s beer.
Well, Nixon gave Brezhnev a brand-new Cadillac in 1972, which was just one of many luxury cars foreign leaders had lavished upon him. So it seems that gifts of expensive cars is (or was) not unheard of among the political super-elite.
Odd how giving a Lexus is the default. Even if you’re the co-star of a big hit show.
Actually, it sounds like that actress might be a bit of a cheapskate, as the Lexus RX350 appears to be the cheapest SUV in the company’s range.
She continues the car giving. Apparently a Beemer is the car of choice for your new hubby. $325k per episode can buy a lot of cars.
