If you are contemplating selling a car that you bought only a few months ago because you thought is was "cool", "hot" or whatever because JLo has done a few ads then you make Shallow Hal look deep.

Agreed!

I've never had anyone say anything about my car regarding the ads. It's just sad that they could be doing so much better. I imagine if I ever had anyone ask me if JLo were in the car, I'd respond, "yeah, in the trunk next to my shovel." But that's just my morbid sense of humor. The responses I get are overwhelmingly positive. Last Saturday I had a car full of teenagers giving me thumbs up on the highway. I always catch people peering in the window and on more than one occasion stop to answer a few questions for people who are genuinely enthusiastic about the car.

Nope. Its just because THE ABARTH IS COMING!!!!

I don't care if they start showing commercials with Barney and Barbie fornicating on the car. This is my baby.

 

[Hilldweller]

I bought the car to drive through the MINI lot and thumb my nose at them...
I never thought it was cool or hot.

I'm just a caroholic and it was something new.

why must it be said?

has anyone said the ads would make them dump a car they already bought?

Yes, names will be withheld to protect the insane.

It needn't be said. No thread that starts off with "someone has to say" is going to be negative vitriol, just like the ones that start "I'm not a racist but...".

Hi

I hear you. I think alot of people are using the ads as an excuse to blow off steam in general.

Seeing a commercial with dancing hamsters wouldn't make me want to sell off my car if I had a Kia Soul, nor would those disturbingly weird Prius commercials with the giant made up of alot of individual people make me want to sell off a Prius if I had one, so why should just having J Lo in a couple commercials make me upset about the Fiat?

Ah, but what must be said is, has anyone, anyone at all, said they bought the car because of a J-Lo commercial?
That's the feedback that would be essential.

I haven't met an owner that's said, "jeepers, I identify so much with J-Lo and am glad she's endorsing/pimping the ride."
Rather, the emotions run from indifference to nausea.

Will anyone sell their car because of the commercials? -- Probably not.
Will anyone have to endure ridicule because of the commercials? -- Probably.

Getting back to sales basics, her involvement doesn't do anything for FIAT's attempt to avoid buyer's remorse...

 

[smark]

I would never sell my car, over a commercial.

Got my first "where's JLo?" last night. The guy is a bit of a jackass so go figure. Then I whipped out my iPhone and showed him the new Abarth ad, but then his wife saw it and he got in ****.
