DOOD looks like a lady
I know Hyundai has improved a lot as a brand, but I still think it says quite a bit about GM's aspirations when they pit themselves against Hyundai... and then still have to resort to unfair comparisons.
^ they'll be comparing themselves to proton and tata next
Could this have possibly been filmed before the newer one was available as a test car? When did the new Elantra become available?
You would have thought by now that the use of random attractive spokespersons would be somewhat outdated by now given how many ads/marketing these days are saturated by it. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I'd much sooner trust the marketing message if it came from someone like Bob Lutz or at least someone reputable within the automotive review community. Does marketing still think in this day and age of the Internet/social media and dozens of sites/forums, this strategy still works as before?

Mike Rowe has a sexy voice. That is all.*ahem*
Ford has it down with Mike Rowe as a spokesman. He appeals to men because of his show "Dirty Jobs" and his narration of other shows such as "Deadliest Catch." He's old enough to have that innate air of wisdom, but not old enough to be your dad. He's good looking enough to appeal to women but not "Hollywood" enough to be resented by men as a pretty-boy talking head.
Find me a better spokesman for a car company.
Hell I'm straight and Mike Rowe's voice turns me onMike Rowe has a sexy voice. That is all.
Its a good docu.BlindIO said:I'm watching a documentary right now called "The Science Of Sex Appeal." It's pretty interesting stuff.
*ahem*

Companies are always doing things like that. Car companies always say things like "More power than the Audi A4. More interior room than the BMW 3 Series. Better Fuel economy than the Mercedes C-Class." What they don't say is that the Audi has the least power in its class, the BMW has the least interior room in its class and the Mercedes has the worst fuel ecomony (not real stats, just using it as an example). They make it sound like the car is better than all of those...but it in fact better than some in certain categories, worse than others in certain categories.
Also saying things like "Most legroom in its class" but not mentioning that it's got the worst hip and headroom in its class.
*shrugs* Par for the course for any automaker, really.
GM Has always done this crap. About the only thing they can go head-to-head with are their full size trucks (even then, I'd rather have a Ford or Nissan) otherwise, they are always a gen or two behind in their cars.
Your retort is a piece of plastic engine cover? Blind's point is still better.
Feel free to try again though.
