MG3 Embarrassing marketing

[iggysport]

Just looked at the MG3 on the mg website and just like the Adam they have clearly hired either a 'cool dad' or Nanjing insisted on doing it, either way it's embarrassing...

Here are some quotes on this super cool funky car

'EMBRACE YOUR FUN RACY SIDE'

'BE SEEN AND ENVIED!
WITH FUN FRONT LED DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS'

'HEAR THE FUN
ROAR AND SEE IT
SPARKLE
WITH THE CHROME
EXHAUST FINISHER'

I had noticed this. It's almost like Chinese marketing roughly translated and left...

Engrish if ever you saw it.

Inspire the next and all that.

Not sure on the MG-FUN at the moment. Looks a bit ugly.

Seriously though - I've never seen the word fun written so often.

[ajprice]

That web page needs to say FUN more.

Have they actually solf any MG's in England?

[Dog Star]

Dear me!

What a smart looking little car though.

My god - and everyone said the new Clio was ugly! I know it's a well used saying but it looks like it fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

And the less said about the terrible marketing, the better.

Just requested more info on it and it said this after i submitted the form

'THANKS FOR SIGNING UP TO THE FUN'

No pictures of the interior. You can guess what its like then...

Yes plenty have been sold over the last 80 years. Especially in England.

It's actually very neat, very uncluttered. Quality will be on par with other superminis if the MG6 is anything to go by.

Re the wording - it sounds like some st from a female dominated PR company or the fking work experience kid.
They couldn't even spell Britain correctly on another page (corrected now).

As to how the exterior looks, there seems to be some great design touches but on a shonky bodyshell shape! The window/roofline is so fuxked up IMO,as is the Skoda Fabia, really too tall and slabby.
The SUV concept looks miles better though.

Just looked at the BTCC version. Specification includes nothing whatsoever to do with a rally or sports car, just lots of extra bling paint and interior toys for the brainless.

[greathorwood]

Oh dear. That website looks like a Sniffpetrol spoof!

[J4CKO]

That is tragic.
