09/20/2002 Entry: "In which we mock Honda's crappy Internet marketing even more"

More evidence of Honda's crappy Internet marketing. I've changed the poor guy's name to protect the guilty.

Wow, HONDA MARKETEER, I bought an Insight from Bill Page Honda at the end of July. I made the request at Honda.com probably at the end of May, so that's a four month turn around time. I stopped expecting a response after two days. You guys must be using Carrier Pigeon IP, with the poor little birds having to fly all the way to Japan and back. This is the second time Honda marketing has contacted me after I've already made the purchase. I have almost 3000 miles on it now, and I've been real happy so far. I've getting 54 mpg on my daily commute, and the lifetime average mpg is up to 51.4 now. I even gave Brown Arlington Honda some free advertising a while back !
