Car shopping

I walked into an Audi dealer to look at the A3.
Manual transmission, of course.
The salesman's response: "Why?"
and I'm thinking "because the design looks interesting"
So he proceeded to try and sell me an A4.
His sales pitch:
"Look around, you'll see them everywhere."
Which makes me think:
"Thanks, but not so much...."
Seriously.
Do you want a car that everyone else drives?

Their ad campaigns don't help.
Yes, of course you are being "told" to drive a minivan,
or a Mercedes
or a Lexus
But what you really want is the car that's growing in sales faster than any of them.
And that's an Audi.
So you can be like everyone else.
And drive the same car like everyone else.
Black, of course.
Unless you're edgy and you buy red.

Whatever.
I guess I just don't like doing what everyone else does.
...which is why I twitter and blog (^_^)
