I’d buy a Prius. With the seat down, I can carry boxes six feet long. I don’t need a truck or an SUV, and my Prius’s 55 mpg is five times what my girlfriend gets with her tank (Ford F-250, 11 mpg).

I would check to see if I needed to heed the seat belt recall on either one or both vehicles. https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyl...i4R1xN0g9SA8F0

Return the SUV to the dealership then get the pickup truck you wanted and that way the wife keeps what she chose and you get what you wanted in the first place.

Not true. Look at it again. When they show the two vehicles that the guy purchased, the black one, selected by the woman, is clearly a pickup truck and the red one is an SUV. Yes, there is another scene at the end that shows a photo of two SUVs. But, these are obviously two different vehicles, and the man and woman are not in the final scene.

Someone said it’s a silly commercial. I agree but it is cute and more importantly we’re talking about it so silly or cute it successfully made its point - get people to remember it and even talk about it. I thought about telling my wife that I was buying her a new car for her birthday (October 6th) then decided against it. I traded in her 2014 CR-V for a new 2020. If she liked the 14 why wouldn’t she love the 20 with all the new technology ? I was right. She loves it. If I took her the salesman would have tried to sell her the shiniest most expensive car in the showroom. Of course I bought myself a new Odyssey a couple of weeks ago. She loves her CR-V so much she doesn’t even want to drive my Odyssey. If I bought them both at the same time who knows what would’ve happened.

I cringe whenever I see that commercial! That presumptuous, imperious woman really gets under my skin!
