When Millennials Buy Cars

1. Mahk is a millenial. Your point?

2. Nice satire on a pathetic subject.
   Reinforces my reasons for Not buying a Chevy, EVER.
   Always been a Ford guy, even during times where they made crap for cars for many years. I always had the classics to admire and hope for better days. And yes, sadly, Ford has recently been doing similar millenial marketing. Yet, they aren’t the ones with money for expensive new cars, at least not those beta males. It’s difficult to afford $800 a month payments on a barista or bar job, and pay rent.
   Once Bammy bought into GM, it reinforced this is a company I abhor.

3. I have owned all kinds of cars in my life, but other than an ancient VW Jetta they were all GM or Chrysler. The last car I bought was a Mazda, and after this car I will never go back to a GM or Chrysler.

4. Damned good satire on a commercial I especially hate. Now,if they could nail that little fat bastard that does those highly annoying A&W commercials…!
   btw,has anyone else here noticed that the show that repeats commercials until it constitutes torture is the CFL games on TSN?

5. “fresh off Broke Back Mountain……Wyatt Durp and Cock Holiday.”
   Best line in the clip because it fit them perfectly.
   I get a laugh from these things now and again. But why the slam at Chevrolet. It’s neither the best nor the worst of the generic pack of today’s cars, i.e., they’re all pretty much the same.

6. “Always been a Ford guy, even during times where they made crap for cars for many years. ”
   Well, every car company sucks lefty/green/sissy arses in their commercials. Reason: 67.4 percent of the electorate fall into that category.
   As far as cars/trucks go, now my choice is something that is not made by union (especially CAW) hands.

7. Ultimately it’s the fault of CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) legislation. This is government mandated fuel economy numbers that auto manufacturers have to achieve. A blurb from NHSTA states: “NHTSA and EPA issued a Final Rule for “Phase 2” for medium and heavy duty vehicles to improve fuel efficiency and cut carbon pollution. The agencies estimate that the standards will save up to 2 billion barrels of oil and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 1.1 billion metric tons over the lifetimes of MYs 2018-2029 vehicles, providing up to $230 billion in net social benefits.”
   So they churn out a bunch of cars that nobody wants. Fortunately for the rest of us, the millennials can be duped into buying them.
   I recently heard from a car salesman who loved selling pickup trucks because of the better margins/commissions. But he was required to sell 2 or 3 small cars for each pickup.
   Also, is the life cycle cost much different? I figure a pickup has more life left at 500,000 km (315,000 mi) than these cars have at 100,000 km (63,000 mi).

8. Might be a little off topic, but still on commercials. The National Geographic channel typically shows programs on wildlife – you know, lions vs. Cape buffalo and such.
   Almost every commercial break starts off with a KY commercial touting a young couple in bed describing how KY suddenly has them ‘exploding’ atop water jets. This is then followed by another commercial showing an attractive young woman collapsing backwards onto her bed with a very dil*o like container of lubricant and another description of exploding ogas*s.
   I would have thought National Geographic would be aimed primarily at young kids and families. If they’re going to give us these commercials, at least they could go back to showing us some tribal brea^ts.

9. That spoof is hilarious. Thanks Lance and CC. Mahk’s a cool dude, millennial or not.
   Don…too funny. “Now,if they could nail that little fat bastard that does those highly annoying A&W commercials…!”
   That smarmy little prick (from LA) who does the Canadian A&W ads should be drawn and quartered with four Chevy Cruzes. Those A&W ads are a disgrace. Oh BTW, his name is Allen Lulu. (Yeah yeah, I too have a weird name.)

    You

    do

    know actors just read the lines they’re paid to deliver, right?

11. I have been buying Hyundai since 1995, six to be exact and only one was less than completely satisfactory, that was my current Tucson, but it is still a good vehicle.

12. What’s up with all the stupid hats?

13. Cock Holiday: “It’s making us all look the same.”
    Followed by the dutiful regurgitation: “We are all unique individuals.”
    Having spoken without conviction he looks away, and is lost in a loathsome moment of self realization.
    Redundant twink.
