Thinking that a well to do person wouldn't drive a 500 isn't accurate because many 500 owners own Ferraris and are well known people.

I think the real issue is that Fiat made the mistake of hiring J-Lo for this ad campaign. I think that the star has to be credible when matching them to a product. J-lo's well-known "diva" behavior immediately tells me that she would not condescend to drive a car likeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8414185467196159583.post-56773510610742061942011-11-30T19:39:24.185-05:002011-11-30T19:39:24.185-05:00But hey, getting in the news is more attention, mo...But hey, getting in the news is more attention, more awareness.
