LOL guys, I was just looking at my local newspaper's last page, (Nissan dealer) and it said something that Toyota fans here might not like:p "The new Nissan Versa, more interior room than Fit or YARASS." OMG:p:p:p!!! Coincedence? I THINK NOT!!! I'll put it into the scanner tomorrow and post it up.

coincedence, some dealers can't even spell the name of their own products right. A dealer once spelled Viper "vipor"

I think it was intentional, they kinda stress the point with the exclamation marks.
Not really that funny though, unless its a joke about the cars name going around where you are.

yeah... i honestly did not find it very funny, i mean alot of companies do that for advertising... like a dodge ran commercial which said something like more headroom than Ford and more torque than GMC, or something like that. All car companies do that in their adverts.

The people who take ads at a newspaper run a close race with car dealers as to who is the most thunderously ignorant about cars. I'm a reporter, and my girlfriend works in the classified ads department of the same newspaper. I've become known as the person who can answer car questions. Here's how that usually goes:
A: Is a W... perscription?...
M: A WRX?
A: Yeah, is that a truck?
M: A truck? No. It's a car.
A: Yeah, but these people say it's four-wheel-drive. Do I just need to take that out?
Or:
A: Does BMW make motorcycles?
M: Yeah, they make good ones.
A: Well, (Insert bosses name) says they've never head of one. She says they just make cars.
Here are some car names that have gone through since I've been there:
"Campy" VW Van
Five Serious BMW's 1998 $20,000 obo
Corvette Slingray (came in on a fax)
And my favorite - 1999 Camry Dualley. (somehow the girl confused "coupe" with "Dualley" - a truck with four rear tires)
As far as car dealers go, I'd give them five guesses to correctly state the number of wheels on a car right in front of them and be amazed if they got it right.
