We have a local GM dealer that touts in EVERY ad they are ALL AMERICAN. Especially nauseating back when the economy was tanking. Their tagline is "come see us at the All American corner".

The husband of the team was Mayor of Flint for a couple of years. Wife's name is on the dealership.

Their ads struck me negatively which is why I won't ever shop there. They are marketing to the UAW crowd that still exists somewhat in the area. It isn't like it used to be, though. From what I have seen, not many give a crud about it.

Another large dealer carries all GM brands PLUS all imports except for exotic and luxury brands. I have shopped there and would purchase a vehicle.

You guys that don't live in/near a GM/Ford/Chrysler town probably don't get the same type of messaging. I am not swayed by marketing except in this case and I choose to spend my money elsewhere.
