So, I stumbled across this picture whilst browsing the
internet and I was half disgusted and half Intrigued.
The paradox in this image is just too much! |
Now, I love Louis Vuitton – but I must admit this is so
tacky. I doubt Louis Vuitton would actually condone this sort of blasphemy on
their iconic pattern. I secretly, deep down in my Croydonian fantasies do want my
car seats upholstered in the classic LV print, however, this movement is way
over the top and overflows on the desperate level of showing off. Some would
even say: Ghetto.
But now, thanks to FIAT (please note the irony) if I really
wanted to have a car like this, I could:
Fiat has unveiled the new 500c GUCCI edition, released in celebration for GUCCI's 90th anniversary. The car is exclusive in
either black or white paint and is littered with reminders that the car is a “designer
item”.
The roof has the GUCCI stripe, and the alloy wheels are centred
with the GUCCI logo
The Gucci making this car look 'Hoochie' |
The seats are part GUCCI leather with GUCCI patterned seat belts
Gucci overload |
The rear decal is a glossy ‘GUCCI’ badge and if that wasn’t
enough, an obnoxious GUCCI stripe can also be seen wrapped around the middle of
the car.
Who cares? |
This car is NOT sophisticated. It’s a wannabe’s car.
Anybody who feels the need to purchase a vehicle with designer
logos and patterns emblazoned all over it, is low rent and cheap. Because
everyone will know that in reality if you really had any class or MONEY you’d be
driving a Mercedes or something similar.
NOT a Fiat.
This 500c GUCCI edition, to me, is boisterous, in your face
and utterly stupid. You will never impress anybody with this car. I expect this
car to be parked outside many a council house when it arrives in the UK fairly
soon, as the only place this car belongs is in an estate with all the other cheap
and nasty knock-offs – because after all that’s all it is.
With prices starting from £16,000 you can order your 500c
GUCCI today via Fiats website, but I wouldn’t bother when you can get the
better looking, better quality Audi A1, which starts at a little over £13,000.
And for that you buy into a brand which doesn’t need to scream and shout to get
attention.
