Car Ads.

What’ s with some of these pitches about selling brands of cars. I.e. The makes and their slogans. It’s not a car , -- it’s an Alfa- Romeo . Well the truth is -----, it’s still a car! . I think it is a contradiction to say that. Is it an oxymoron ?. No!-- An oxymoron is not an anther make of car, made in Norway or China . It’s a grammatical error in the language ,I think in this case anyway. But if it were a make of car perhaps it’s maxim would be – Oxymoron – Get there -DOA.- Alive ! Or another make called Oxy/ acetylene – It’s a Gas! Remember the old Holden ditty? . “ Meat pies ,Football , Kangaroos and Holden cars. Now it’s Holden –Go better.
