Is this the most desperate advert in the history of motoring

Is it not a fairly common advertising approach? To say "our product is half the price of this other one but only slightly inferior"?
Usually they'll find at least one thing the car's better at though - like the Nissans that are faster than Porsches, the Rover that was more luxurious than the VW and Renault you could've had for the same price, the Maestro Turbo that was faster than the Golf GTI etc.My in-laws had a Maestro in the days when I was courting the current Mrs L. When I reached son-in-law in waiting status I was allowed to borrow it. God, it was crap. Understeered into corners and oversteered out of 'em. Flat vinyl seats that were like a sweaty ice rink to sit on. Steering and gears were as bad as each other.
The thought that there were cars out there at the time that were actually inferior ( What!!) to that POS only makes me grateful that my in-laws were so profligate with the shekels that they spent the extra to buy a Maestro!!
