>>18544 Packard was asked by their dealers to make advertisements. James Ward Packard essentially told them to shove it in coining the phrase: Ask the man who owns one

The Frenchies love to stack their cars up against more powerful ones and proclaim them as "worse" for obvious reasons. The second pic related is supposed to be a 306 advert I've seen like 10 times but never bothered to save and now can't find anywhere - it showed a long line of '90s supercars like the 355, E36 M3 and Porsche 993, with a 306 GTi at the back and the tagline "Worst in its class". I can picture it exactly so I'm sure it hasn't been memory-holed.

>>18552 French here, I can explain: the people of France are a weird bunch. They hate money. You can't talk to them about how much they make a year and how much do their shoes cost and whatnots because you'll be seen as impolite. When they do talk to you about their income, it's to whine about how little they make. Or, on the extreme opposite, how opulent their pay is and that's unfair, I should get paid less. Not that they'll give anything to charities, no no, but because it's seen as "bad" to earn money. So ads here have this weird quirk of appealing to what the French are used to: looking as "not rich" as they can. They'll get the latest car, but the cheapest one, instead of the same price luxury used car. Just so they won't "show off" with their big car and show how "reasonable" they are, even if that makes them complete retards. As a French, I hate the French car culture and the French's opinion on money.
