The Nissan dealership in town is running a radio ad proclaiming that they have been authorized to accept the trade-in of Toyotas covered by the recall, and to give full-market-value for those vehicles. Good for them. But then they go on to explain how a truck can actually be sent to your home to pick up your Toyota so you will not have to worry about driving your unsafe vehicle to the dealership. In fact, the terms “unsafe”, “dangerous”, and “recalled” are pretty liberally scattered throughout the entire segment.
Toyota screwed up, in a big day, but gratuitously salting the wound? That is just giggle-worthy. But, then again, I also laugh at the seemingly interminable AT&T vs. Verizon commercials.
Of course, this entertaining commercial came at the price of reminding me why I hate terrestrial radio stations – why do they all play their commercial segments at the same time?
… because they know you hate listening to ads, and figure if they all play their ads at the same time, you can’t channel surf to avoid the ads.
Eh, me, I just put in a CD, and forget to turn back to the radio for another week or so…
