Chrysler Aspen......


Hello Chromed up Dodge Durango! Welcome to the 2007 American Automotive selling season! I wish you great luck, as it will be a tough time being an Old School Body on Frame SUV this selling season.
Just one question before I let you go....
Why do I see you advertised only on BET and TVone?
Is your sole existance a chance for Chrysler to put it's excessive factory capacity for the Dodge Durango directly in the hands of the African American community?
You are quite "blingy" like your sibling the 300 across the showroom floor. I can't image Becky McPherson wanting to drive you to Whole Foods. Or her husband Bill wanting to take you fishing over the weekend.
I totally see you hauling Tyreesha to the outlet mall for coach purses. And I can see you taking Tyrone and crew to a tailgate party the following sunday.
Which makes me angry, at the marketing that Automobile manufacturers try to stuff down Black throats.
Notice those "Return of The Man" 2006 Ford Explorer commercials? Did you see them on CBS, NBC or ABC, hell even Fox? No, because of gas prices rocketing skyward, the Explorer's sales skidded over 60% during 2006. But they still need to sell them, and who does Ford think will buy an Explorer just as long as it comes with 3 DVD screens and some 20's on it?
Negroes....
Hell if we can't afford to put gas in it....we'll just sit in the driveway watching TV out of it.
So, as a plea to African American Consumers....don't fall for it. If you can't afford to be wasteful, and still buy an SUV that gets 12 miles to the gallon, I think they should take away your L's, and make you take remedial math. If you need to haul people, get a Minivan....if you feel the need to Bling out, there's a Buick dealership with a LaCrosse with your name on it, and they get 26 or so real world mpg on the highway.
