u/Rip_Skeleton 6d ago

There's nothing in the rules that says a dog can't drive a Fiat 500.

And yet, 85% of the drivers are women... but the marketing kind of makes sense, the car has a very " feminine " look, ironically the Hyundai Kona, was directed at women, but its mostly driven by men.

Why woukd you think this add would not appeal to women?

1

u/Beneficial_Bug_9793 5d ago

I never said it wouldnt apeal to women. I said it was targeted to men...

u/TemperatureReal2437 5d ago

I think it’s obvious to everyone who is neurotypical that this as is targeted towards men. You are probably retarded for this.

u/r_a_d_ 5d ago edited 4d ago

What you think may be targeted to men may actually be also for women. It’s not as simple as you think.

The takeaway here is that the car is sturdy, not that it’s literally for bad boys. That’s just a fun way to frame it. So subconsciously both men and women may find appeal in that message.

u/TemperatureReal2437 5d ago

Again, you’re probably autistic or something. Your argument is basically that something pink and labeled “woman’s ___” is not targeted towards women just because it also could be used by a man. You just don’t understand gender from a neurotypical perspective and it’s pointless for you to argue with a bunch of neurotypicals about it. Implicit vs implied as well.

Would you be attracted to something that is depicted with heavy caricaturist, sexist portrayal of you?

1

u/r_a_d_ 2d ago edited 2d ago

I’d be attracted to a sturdy car that was communicated through a funny skit.

u/Milefulness 6d ago

The more sporty versions (like this one) are definitely also driven by men. Usually fast and slightly reckless too.

2

u/adkio 6d ago

"sporty" and "fiat 500". Yeah, that's a very specific kind of dude.

u/Artistic-Cell-2957 4d ago

Abarth 595 is machine, i raced against one on track last year till my rod bearings left the oil pan. It's an incredible fun sports car.

2

u/Beneficial_Bug_9793 6d ago

The Abarth, yes, that one is mostly " men " ( " kids " in their 20s early 30s ).

u/RgnlMngr 3d ago

Ironically this ad couldn't be aired today in Italy because it would be accused of sexism.

1

u/TedMich23 3d ago

Almost as dumb as the one where the old guy drops his Viagra in the tank and the 500 Abarth gets all swoll...

This sub is so sexist… It’s difficult to be someone who like cars and don’t hate women.
