If I had the choice of the Yaris or another car, I would choose the other car. Because driving that car would make me at least low-level angry for the time I had it.
Comment on Consumerism ahhhhh moment
MrFinnbean@lemmy.world 1 month agoWere you in market for buying the car when you saw those adds? I you werent then they did not loose a sale even if you hated the add.
Can you honestly say, that if you were in really need of a car and there would be opportunity to buy a yaris with good price and it would be good fit to your needs at the moment, you would pass it just because some add you saw at some point?
Was it so effective you repeat the name of the product years later in some random discussion on the internet?
I think the adds worked pretty much as intented.

this ignores the fact that people tend to complain to those around them, and especially if they hear a friend is gonna buy a new car they’ll say “hey Bob do me a favour and buy anything other than a yaris, their ads gave me bowel cancer. If you show up with a yaris on my driveway next month i’m calling the fucking cops i swear to god”

Do you think discussions like that happen in real life?
