Default An Observation

Well it's Saturday morning in Central Ohio and as usual I open up the Columbus Dispatch;read the Sports page and then head to the cars section

I read the articles and then turn to see all the deals they are advertising.With the auto industry and auto sales the way they are there are huge 1 and 1-1/2 page ads for Saturn.....Chevrolet ..........Ford ........Audi/BMW and 1/2 page and 1/3 page ads for every other manufacturer but Honda/Acura

Can things be that good at the local Honda dealerships that they don't need no stinking advertisements ?


I'm thinking this is odd;but sometimes they advertise in the sports section so I look and ....nope

The local new car show is on this weekend and one would think they'd be blitzing the local paper at least

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the question I have is this if the plants are only producing cars 3 days a week and with all part-time and contract workers gone after April 1

Why wouldn't American Honda push the dealers or itself take out full page ads ?

Steve, I noticed the same this week. When I was in Matia Honda on Monday it was a ghost town. All salesmen and no customers. Also, you would think with all of the Honda's on the lots and for that matter stored here at the old Ford plant, they would be pushing hard with some good deals!

I'd throw a cone filer on that thing. You're going to gain like .0002 HP.

It was a high performance machine. I especially like the DOHC-OHV motor!
