Even though Jurgen Klopp was reportedly driving an Insignia when he landed in Liverpool, it appears he’s quite fond of the way that the all-new Astra is able to…yep, you guessed it; upset the luxury class.
If you’re into football, or soccer, depending on where you’re from, then you probably know who Jurgen Klopp is and why he’s such a big deal at the moment. The charismatic German manager took over Liverpool FC early last month and has already revitalized the team, winning 5 out of his first 9 games, with 3 draws and just one defeat.
So you might say that Klopp’s team is definitely upsetting some big names in the Premier League, such as Manchester City – who lost to Liverpool 1-4 last week. Of course, the difference between a club like Liverpool FC and Manchester City is a lot smaller than a non-premium c-segment car and something that will cost you tens of thousands of dollars/euros/pounds more.
Even with its Matrix LED headlights, ventilated massage seats and OnStar system, you can’t expect anyone who actually knows how the automotive industry works to take these types of commercials seriously. Sure, they might be funny and it’s sure nice to see Klop tease some “poor” guy who’s obviously frustrated because of the Astra, but come on, nobody’s getting fooled here.
On top of that, they actually went with a Maserati Ghibli as the “luxury car” of choice in this video, which is an infinitely more desirable car than the Astra.
