Josh Gordon Car Dealership

Josh Gordon Car Dealership“You thought you were so damn smart when you drafted Josh Gordon in your fantasy league. And if your league awards points for converted leads and test drives taken, then you definitely were. Good job.

After leading the NFL in receiving yards in 2013, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon inked a deal to join Sarchione Auto Group as a goodwill ambassador and on-floor salesman — a move that is sending waves through the Greater Cleveland automotive community.

The speed and athleticism Josh Gordon brings to Sarchione Auto Group is hard to match,” a local competitor said. “We’ve had opportunities to sign many of the terrible quarterbacks the Browns have drafted over the past decade, but never a player that has had even marginal success in the league.”

Gordon’s role likely won’t include a lot of aggressive sales pitches or ride alongs with prospective buyers. Instead, he’ll play a major role in the dealership’s community efforts, which includes a partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project.

Selling cars is a far cry from catching passes in the NFL, but I hear the sales team is littered with young talent.

Mercedes Names May Be Getting More Confusing

Think you finally have your Mercedes names mastered? Well, a new challenge appears to be coming, friend.

How to now identify Mercedes models by name

Some moves in the northwoods of Canada by the brand appear to signal a change in the naming conventions that will be used for Mercedes and AMG models. Candian trademarks have been filed for  A 40, CLA 40, SLC 40, SLC 50 and GLE 50 in addition to CLA 53, G73 and S73.

If this proves true in the states, it would signal an end to the rule of two digits for Mercedes, three-digits for AMG counterparts. The new world would be two digits, ending in a “0” for Mercedes, and two digits ending in a “3” for AMG. This supports rumors of  an AMG ‘73’ model with a hybrid powertrain.

While this change isn’t terribly difficult to comprehend, it certainly makes things interesting when comparing legacy and upcoming Mercedes models. There are a lot of numbers to keep straight, and a lot of explaining to do. And the letter and number combos leave something to be desired in terms of cachet.

Oh, it’s got cachet baby!

It makes one appreciate the simplicity of giving each vehicle an actual name, like the domestic manufacturers do. Sure, that’s how we ended up with the Chevy Nova, but what are you going to do? There are only so many names, surely one for an automobile would end up meaning “no go” in some language, right?…

What’s with Toyota’s weird shifter pattern?

"What's the Toyota's weird shifter pattern?" image of 2011 Toyota Camry shifter

I like my car. It’s a 2011 Toyota toaster, I mean Camry. If you made a list of everything a car has to do, the Camry would check all the boxes. It gets me from point A to point B with the consistency a learning golfer would envy. It’s a toaster. You put in the bread, choose your level of toastiness, push down the thingy and then wait for it to pop up. But there is one interesting thing about my car. The shifter. That’s it up there. That is definitely not conventional at all. So, what’s with Toyota’s weird shifter pattern? (more…)
