I remembered the commercials as well. That's exactly where the subject line phrasing came from. What can I tell you? I'm a product of my society . . . Steve
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/24/02 09:30PM >>> Forgive me, but the subject line of this thread reminds me of a gripe I have with a 2000 Pontiac commercial. It begins by showing a tightrope walker. Referring to the diameter of the rope, the voiceover says, "Wider is better. ... That's why Pontiac's Firebird features a Wide Track [for safety]." Hold on. For the tightrope walker, it helps to have a wider platform to travel on. For a driver, the equivalent would be a wider road, not a wider wheelbase. A wider wheelbase would equate with, I dunno, wider shoes. No--that would be wider tires. Anyway, just another example of how stupid some American car companies think their buyers are.
