Sonoma. Say no more. Have these people ever seen a BMW? Jesus. I mean, I think the new ‘bu is a pretty nice looking car, but do these focus groups make sure they don’t get anyone who knows anything about cars? Anybody... anybody here would be like “this fuckin’ thing’s a Chevy.”

Anyone who said it was a BMW has clearly NEVER in their entire LIVES looked at the front of a BMW

Seriously, this only tells me that its easy to find non-car people for ads.

These are the people who have to google what a Toyota Camry is.

In what way is that headlight design a “dripping diamond”??
FAWK that was painful to watch. I’d love for them to have a goup of Oppo’s do this. Likely be along the lines of “why are the panel gaps so huge?”

this is why you wouldn’t have gotten past the initial screening. They make sure to find the people they want. They may be real people but they are carefully culled to be ignorant about cars.

That’s the thing that burned me the most I think.

People like this are why cars come with lights to tell you that a tire is low.

I don’t even like BMW, in fact I think the “Iconic BMW” grille is horrendous, I’ve never liked it. Yes I know I’m in the minority but I can’t stand it.

Anyhow, If they wanted to say a premium brand BMW and Audi are probably the furthest possibly from this.

Not fair to tell the test group the “starting price”, after ooing and aahing over the premium features. They want to know the price of what they just evaluated.

So...does this still have that horrible sounding 2.5?

I agree, but its in the video so...meh. They would still oooh and aaah because they know they are being filmed.

That would be fun then. -Walks in- ohh look, a new...malibu? why are the badges gone?

Judging by their bids, they would have been impressed by an honest figure anyway. Instead, they were allowed to walk around the car saying “$22,500? Really? All this technology?”.

good point. the magic of editing. I can promise you that there is a lot of explaining left on the cutting room floor.

Why did you take the plastic Chevy badges off if this is a commercial?? You guys are dumb.

Did you purposely try to make the car look boring?

GUH. I only made it 40 seconds in. Sorry. I tried.

It makes me wonder how they chose these people. “Do you solumnly swear that you know absolutely nothing about cars?”

$22,500? Right, and then the small print shows up “As shown, $36,550"

Just a wee bit of difference $14K of options make...

I’ve very rarely seen a car less proud to be American. Which is a shame, because I really like it.
