A New Jersey car salesman decided to flip customers’ anxiety about the reliability of a potential new car purchase, and used it to spark some curiosity and intrigue about current brands. During a walkthrough showing SUVs on the lot at Avalon Honda in Cape May Court House, New Jersey, he names the likely winners of a hypothetical endurance contest for family-friendly cargo haulers.
The clip from salesman Chris Paprzycki (@thecommunitycarguy) is a quick but engaging review of a row of compact SUVs on his dealership lot, with Paprzycki sharing the latest estimated lifespan of each model.
“So how long are compact SUVs supposed to last?” he asks.
Google Gives Easy Mileage Estimates
Rather than pulling data from a formal reliability study or manufacturer data, Paprzycki opted for speed and ease and relied on Google's AI-generated search results to estimate how many miles drivers can reasonably expect from several of today's most popular compact SUVs. As he moved around the line of vehicles, the projected mileage figures steadily increased.
