I was on the way to work today, and passed a Toyota RAV4 'Extreem'...

WTF is so extreme about it? About the most extreme aspect of it would be a ordering a strong latte down the cake and coffee strip

The worst part is - marketers come up with this crap, and people actually buy it!! Don't consumers realise that so called 'sport' packs amount to little more than some fibreglass and different pattern alloys?!? how does this improve the drive?!

Anyway, too early in the morning.

Please add if you find any similar offenders.

PS and bloody spell it correctly... 'Extreem' i mean honestly...

:D

My sentiments exactly! :rolleyes:

Another example is the current Camry. I read an interview with some Toyota person a few months before it's relase saying it was going to be biased towords a more comfortable ride/less sporty setup.

Lo and behold it's released as "the sporty new camry" I guess because Mitsubishi and Ford both did with their products around the same time. You can't tell me they changed the engineering on the thing in that time frame either. Much easier to change ther advertising copy.

I cheeses me that they take the motoring public for a bunch of stooges...

We are a bunch of stooges.  All the evidence you need happened last weekend.

Are you talking about Holden's woeful ad campaign where they propose that the V8 Supercars share anything with the road cars except for the vague bodyshape?

:D

And the add campaign for that car is like it was built for the twisties!! What a crock!! I have driven one (hire car) for 2 weeks throught the twisties for work purposes and it aint nothing special. The interior is even shitter, feels like you are driving a bus!

Try the Mitsubishi Mum or the Suzuki Afternoon Tea, Daihatsu Social Poze, the Mazda Secret Hydeout, the Mitsubishi Mini Active Urban Sandal, Mitsubishi Lettuce, Mooku Mook The Tokyo Princess, Daihatsu D-Bag, and the Daihatsu Rugger Field Sports Resin Top

Japs have a wierd sense of "westernism" when it comes to naming cars.

Hahahaaa, that's OK, I just a chick in the most gayest, riced - up, piece of crap Mitsubishi Charade with the fattest, most crap body kit, lowered to the sh_t, with Ralliart stickers all over it, try to drag me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only a **** brain would buy a car and think it goes fast because they have a badge / sticker on it that says something special!!!!!! AAAGGGHHH :D

the new 'alloytech' V6 engine. :headbang: Well alloytech isn't as bad as extreeme but i thought i might just bring up the fact that holden had a seperate marketing campaign for the new V6! Don't quote me on this, but didn't they start advertising the engine before the VZ series was even released?

I've never seen anybody commercially advertise a standalone engine before. I guess its been since holden were using that same pushrod-cam engine since 1988 (i think) and they want EVERYONE to know about it.
