Renault Finance to Offer GT Owners a Free Upgrade to RS

[Aidy]

One of the most unique strategies of beating the recession I've seen so far, me thinks.

I'm not happy at all though >:(

Seems they're planning to offer an upgrade to those with GTs to the RS :o

Sound like a no goer for Renault to me, but it looks as if they can back it up and make it quite lucrative for themselves from what they've said in their Press Statement.

I own mine outright though, so looks like I'm stuck with it!!!!! :( >:( :'( Grrr! why would you do this to me Renault!!

Press release is dated 1st April, so that's highly possible.

I thought it was genuine to start with.

Anyone here with a GT on finance who would get one of the letters?

I enjoyed this ad in the metro this morning on the tube into work...actually made me do a little chukkle.

[Paul]

BMW have done April Fools ads for many years now.

Love the e-mail address name on the ad in the link! ;D

[Sarah]

[Graham]

Yes i too fell for it, who ever reads the terms and conditions anyways!! Just a shame i own my GT outright ::) :P

[realhaggis1980]

Mad thing is it my Aunty's birthday.

True, but was worth it when it worked :D

I had much more elaborate BMW-esque plans, but I kinda run out of time so ran with this instead :P Recreating a web page that looked Renault-genuine was a taller task than I first imagined anyway.

Here's some other automotive related fools I've enjoyed today:

I'm a little disappointed I was the only one who made the effort?!

[Aidy]

oh, and one more (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&flip=1) FTW!!

[GT08]

Sorry Aidy but I certainly don't have the time to pull off something like that!!

[Aidy]

Ha, that's OK, you can make it up to me next year ;D

[GT08]

Ok Aidy I better start looking for inspiration lol
