dodge rip-off ?, advertising

[gary s]

i just rec'd a small brochure in the mail and it is titled " SRT ADRENALINE TOUR ' 05 ".

inside are all the SRT models available from dodge/chrysler.

driving an 04 TRAC ADRENALIN, i think they could have used another " slogan " for their ad campaign. on the other hand ( i won't say this to loud ), there are some nice looking vehicles in the brochure. but then again i have to remind myself they are made by dodge !

This is a bit off-topic, but have you seen dodge's ads for the Mega Cab Dodge Ram? They're offering FREE GAS for TWO YEARS!! I don't see how in the world they can do that with a truck that only gets 18mpg on its best day. I guess they're really not expecting many people to buy 'em.

Hmmm if Dodge is going there...I think Ford will have "something" to say about it pretty soon.





Have you sat in one of those MEGA Cabs?! I have- WOW roomy! At Fair Park Dodge had "just the cab" on display. very nice!

As long as they spell it "Adrenaline" and not "Adrenalin" what can Ford say?

 

[mookie]

Ford spells it Adrenalin...no "e" on the end....

 

[Gypsy me]

They can say something, don't mean it would go anywhere.

 

[gary s]

ooops, forgot that ford dropped the " e " !

see what happens when you get old

Yeah, well dodge didn't say how much gas! Sure, 20 gallons for two years is "free gas for two years." Fine print probably says it all.

 

[WXMotorSports DecalsPartsAccs]

And their free maintenance for two years? The fine print is scheduled service at 8K intervals no more than 24K miles within a two year period. It's a play on words.

The whole FREE GAS ploy is just in lieu of giving a couple grand in other incentives. It's basically instead of giving you $4000 off the price of the truck, they will give you $2000 in gas per year for the 1st 2 years. It is not unlimited gas, the fine print states exactly how much gas they will give you. It says something like 1000 gallons per year based on a gas price of $2/gallon. So it is just another ploy to get you to come to the dealership.

Not to mention the hoops you'd probably have to jump through to get the free gas.

 

[Matt Day]

Free gas is in the form of a debit card- I believe $2400 per year.

mitsu dealer around here is doing free gas with all new cars.......i think sometimes it has to do with the dealer more then the manufactuer......
