You've seen the depth of conversation that arises from everyone's interest in the Flames right?

What do you talk about when you all have the same car?

"So you got the blue one eh?"

"Yup?"

"Yeah, I got the red one, no big deal."

I'm also wondering what the "Desired effect" is that they are trying to create. Is seeing a dozen Eclipses really gonna blow anyone's mind? How will you know? Do you plan to hand out questionaires, or are you just gonna assume that everyone who sees the pack of Mitsubishi's is gonna be impressed? And why do you care if a bunch of strangers think to themselves "Wow, that sure was half a dozen Eclipses"?

For instance, me and a bunch of buddies regularily go for rides (we have a wide range of motorcycles), but the only desired effect we ever go for is to have a good time and enjoy the ride, but I can do that with 1 or 10 friends, and whether we're all riding Hondas, Kawasakis, Cruisers, Sportbikes, or choppers has absolutely no bearing on how much I enjoy it.
Why does it have to be a different effect than you and your buddies going for a ride? And why do they only have to talk about their cars? Do you and your buddies only talk about you bikes when you get together? Probably not.
It's just a social gathering with people who have similar interests.
It's just a different way of networking. So they all have interest in the same type of car. Not a big deal, but it is something they all have in common.
