Will somebody please<\/strong> step in and issue a recall on all Southern California car dealer association radio advertising?<\/p>\n

First they get us to envision an auction. Some sort of sporting event. Then an opera.<\/p>\n

Y’know, for the typical luxury car buyer who enjoys auctions, sporting events and the opera.<\/p>\n

But you pictured an auction, right? And an opera? (And maybe an air horn blaring in a stadium.)<\/p>\n

And how clearly did you see “the Lexus Zero-To-60 Pre-Owned Sales Event”?<\/p>\n

And exactly who<\/strong> has instructed all North American automobile dealers to call their promotions “Sales Events”?<\/p>\n

Instead of “Sales Events,” why not come right out and declare them to be “Come Give Us Your Money” events?<\/p>\n

They have a “large selection” of vehicles “available.” Wow! Stop the presses!<\/p>\n

CAR DEALERS HAVE LARGE SELECTIONS OF VEHICLES AVAILABLE!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The vehicles, by the way, are “meticulously inspected.” No word on how many passed<\/strong> the inspections, but every doggone one of them was<\/strong> inspected.<\/p>\n

Oh, and don’t forget our hybrids! They break ground, which apparently is a major selling point.<\/p>\n

1.9% financing! Irresistible lease rates!<\/p>\n

They do a give a deadline. Of course, that deadline was 5 weeks from the day I heard this commercial, so it doesn’t exactly build a feeling of urgency.<\/p>\n

And what do you say we wrap up this baby with two Calls To Action and 12 seconds of Advertising Weasel Words?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
