Default smart ad

So I was looking at Elio Motor's mobile website on my phone when this ad popped up...







Do my eyes deceive me or is this just plain tacky? ... this is not photo-chopped btw.
..."American Nothing" ... i'll take a Mustang over this econo-junk box anyday.

Wow. Considering these things are regularly at the bottom of the list in terms of reviews and reports with a long list of American cars well ahead of them them its in pretty poor taste.

I am guessing they sell a lot more of these cars OUTSIDE the U.S., where most people probably appreciate the humor.

some people are pretty stupid. In this day and age of viral news, it doesn't take much for bored folks to forward things. Unless they have so little press that any news exposure is considered positive.
