New (to me) Marauder videos

[TAF]

I was searching through the web for the video after seeing Dream Car Garage featuring SHM Marauder in a segment this morning and stumbled across something I'd never seen before.

Go HERE (http://www.signonsandiego.com/wheels/) ( http://www.signonsandiego.com/wheels/ ) and scroll down to find a couple videos before the release of the Marauder. Including Phil (yes Elana...I'll water it down) Smoker. Frankly, I'd never seen these and thought some others here might enjoy them. NOTE: RealPlayer needed to view videos...an available download is found above the video links.

Scroll down and look for this:

It seems even the interviewer was a bit taken back when he learned this car is going to be sold for $35K :eek:

Plus in the second video they are standing in front of the Marauder convertible concept and they never mentioned it.

Good find though, just you get the same speech from any dealership that was selling this car.

very cool too bad they gave up too soon!!

Neat videos, never saw them before either.

(I think that the 'Laser' marketing approach worked just like he said......
the only people who knew about the Marauder were car guys who wanted to buy the Marauder anyway....as they say in the Guinness commercials...BRILLIANT!)
