Why are African Americans five times more likely to purchase a Chrysler 300

[Dwayne Wayne]

Why are African Americans five times more likely to purchase a Chrysler 300 than other ethnic groups?

"It's in their vehicle DNA," says Strategic Vision.

Differences that clearly stand out with African Americans are greater desires for success and the ability to show it. African Americans are much more likely to advocate vehicles that express their individuality and success to family and friends.

Pretty much. The first time I saw on I was like, that's nice. Then after I saw the 2,000,000th one 15 mins later, I got kinda tired of em.

You think You have a bentley till the Arnage pulls up. Not the gt coupe the rappers starter kit cars. 300 C's are ugly. I'm proud of the brotha who designed it. I'd rather put $30,000 into my theather room, cedar closet or invest it in overseas oil and gold. I'll also drop a good amount in my God child's college fund. She's gonna gonna see no strippa pole. Daddy not in the home my ass. Ain't no run away daddy losers over here.

If You cannot have the best why SETTLE 4 number 2. Black folks why do we have a need to shine?? Are we that insecure? Maybe its' an american thing? When I'm overseas ie in Monaco, West Africa and other places people are calm.

Another fucking study? They can go to hell with all these damn segregation studies..

So if I can't afford a Bugatti Veyron, I might as well walk? And if I can't afford to live in Bill Gates house, I might as well settle for a card board box?

Your logic is idiotic.

Why do studies always point to and focus on buying habits and tendacies of minorites? Wheres the study that notes the 2million other cars that whites are more likely to buy?

LOL

When I first saw one I was like dammmm. Nice car, then everybody got one, I hate driving what everybody got. Same when I saw the magnum, but people didnt buy them cause the chargers dropped.

So what if black people buy 300c's, white folks buy them overpriced mini vans. I dont know one black man rolling one of those 30k "I have no balls my wife made me get this" cars.

White soccer moms by big assed SUV's they can't even see over the wheel.

This a classic case of my chicken arguement.

If black people were the only ones that eat chicken, KFC would not be in business.

 

[femmenoire]

I see plenty of white people with those cars in Atlanta, mostly men.

I never liked em.

 

[gameboy]

it's calmed down now,,,, about 3 or 4 years ago, it was out of control,,, everybody in the hood had a chrysler 300 or a dodge magnum

Man most folks aint even pushin the Cs, just the base model. Now that I will never understand. If your gonna buy a car then buy a car, not the striped down version, cant afford the big boy, buy what you can afford. But when they trick out the base model and try to get props for puttin a clothtop, some 24s, and a different grill on it. I will say that though, why do black folks try to look like theyre ballin, instead of doin smart shit with our money???

Good question....

To answer the OP's question. In this case I would suggest that, the marketing for the 300C was specifically directed towards the urban city drivers, similar to how Chevy Pick-ups are marketed toward rural consumers and suburban pretenders.

Its called a sales pitch.

Just a question.

Seeing that you're from Michigan, wouldn't you want to encourage the purchase of American cars?

With the State and National economy in the shape its in, it would seem to me that increased car sales not only improve the local factory towns in Michigan which benefit from those sales, but the car industry is the largest in the nation, therefore it would seem to improve the National economy as well. I may be wrong.

 

[Detroit's finest]

I do to those that can afford it. Hell when I'm home I see most folks can't afford to put food on the table to hell with buying a car. People are hurting bad at home gas its' probably gonna hit $4.00 when summer hits.

Quite idiotic!

He's making fun of the very thing he's trying to attach himself to.

I'm sick of people and item associations myself. If you're so great why does where you invest and vacation factor into quashing an argument about how other people associate themselves with things they invest their money in?

The only difference is you spend more to do the same stupid shit they do for one tenth of the price.

This is a myth, another way to make white people feel good.

They got shit called "keeping up with the jonses". Dont get me started on white people putting out the box of their HDTV so everybody can see they bought an HDTV. Honey, they got a 51 inch, we need to go to best buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We cut them boxes the fuck up.

White folks spend hours and hundreds of dollars on buying flowers and their lawn, that shit is all "unneeded" like rag tops, but it makes them feel good. One white person plants 10 bushes, the next has to do 12.

We just cut our grass and keep it looking neat.

No lawn trolls, windmills, and wonderland shit in our front yards.

The economy would go to shit if white people didnt "keep up with the joneses"................aka what we call "flossin or ballin".


White man next door gets the new mini van with the gps, henpecked husband runs to ask his wife if he can get one. Muthafucka aint even allowed to go to the bar, WTF he need a gps unit for.

We spend our money on some nice clothes, white men spend it on the latest power tool they might never use while he wears some brett farve wranglers. Still money spent.

Black women at the nail shop every week, white women at the tanning booth every week. In every place we live there are nail shop after nail shop. Every place whites live tanning booth after tanning booth.

Dont get me started on the white folks rolling motorcylces cost more then their trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't see why it matters, white folks don't try and explain why they're 5 times more likely too by a pick up truck, or Japanese a Honda. We always feel the need to explain ourselves or worry about what " they" think. Just do you.

BTW, this is real talk right here. I say it all the time. Peoplebtalk about how we spend our money, just watch VH1 "The Fabulous Life", You'll see some wild shit. A guy I work with spent almost as much on a set of golf clubs as another brother spent on a set of rims. We just spend our money on different shit.

Good points all.

To me, it all boils down to marketing. Frivolous spending is frivolous spending regardless of the persons color. Its an American epidemic and for some to attempt to place the blame on a specific race and exempt blame from the multi billion dollar machine that created & encourages that spending addiction 24 hours a day 365 days a year is just silly.
