Advertising Cars That Don’t Exist

It seems it’s hit a new high...

Spotted this on Twitter yesterday.

There has to be more to this than Aston just accusing them of 'photo shopping' the car surely, Granted some of the detail on the car (Reg plate etc) looks badly done, but something doesn't seem right on both parts.

I know (if i'm right, plus coupled with the sites name and shame stuff) as they are a former employer of yours, but its a bit to blatant of them to do this and not expect a back lash, unless its purely for the 'any publicity is good publicity' line.

No cars are out in the wild yet, only factory press and pre-production cars are on the road.

Indeed they must realise people would know it doesn’t exist and expect a backlash, I just don’t understand why do it.
It’s certainly not good publicity

I don't know why people are bothered that this happens . Advert creates demand , if someone wants to buy one they source one from someone who wants to sell . The fact that there aren't any out yet doesn't mean the likely demand isn't there . Perhaps they are just checking demand as they already have
Is it not like/similar to short-selling shares ( in reverse) ?

Perhaps a bit premature but what salesman doesn't go out on a limb once in a while ...

And well done on the photo shop - the new Vantage looks far better with none of the highlighting different colour nonsense that seems to be the trend amongst Aston buyers .
