Nissan scolded one of its dealers Tuesday for releasing an ad showing the battering of a piñata resembling Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Automotive News is reporting.
The ad depicts salesmen repeatedly hitting a Trump-looking piñata and declaring, “At Van Nuys Nissan, Latinos rule.” The ad was made after Trump denounced some undocumented Mexican immigrants as “rapists” in a June political speech.
“We find these advertisements to be neither responsible or respectful, and we do not condone what they represent,” Nissan said in a statement. “We expect our dealers to establish advertising that is responsible and respectful and represents the best interest of the Nissan brand.”

Hmmm...
Nissan builds unattractive to me cars, here in the Peoples Republic their dealers are not that great. So, the fact this dealer is even less satisfactory will not change my non-buying habits. And, if Latinos Rule, they are apparently lawless thug latinos doing the ruling. Oh, well.
Guess they have a bank who grants auto loans to Illegal Aliens with no SSN required.
Looks like Van Nuys is now the Tijuana of Los Angeles County.
I guess they’re thinking that Trump may one day be President, and want to stay on his good side.
No where else but in Mexifornia. Is anyone old enough on this forum to remember the time when the GOP could win in Kalifornia?
Translation:
“No Nissan Dealer Holdack Money for you! You’ll be paying for that ad campaign on your own, with NO reimbursement from the Company.”
Van Nuys Nissan has an apology on their site ... blaming their ad agency.
WTF! Were those not Van Nuys Nissan employees in the ad?
Have owned several Nissans over the years—No more.
If “Latinos rule” at this dealership, perhaps Anglos should buy their cars elsewhere. Wouldn’t want to upset those ruling Latinos by making them deal with gringos, after all.
Oh yeah
You don't understand - this happened in California. Californians take NO responsibility for anything. You still don't understand - there ARE NO Californians. Because if there were, they'd have to take responsibility for existing, and that is impossible. So it CAN'T be their fault, because they literally were not there.
Oh yeah, and you're an intolerant racist, too.
Didn’t use to be that way.
Good for Nissan
Wouldn't that make it qualify as a political ad (since Mr. Trump has declared his candidacy)?
What is the Secret Service's response?
Where is the liberal media decrying this hateful militant violent rhetoric in the area of political election discourse?
Pretty close, Los Angeles County is the Tijuana of Los Angeles County.
Should Trump win, the first company to get hit with a 35% tariff would be Nissan. Maybe they are wondering about that.
I hear ya. Grew up and lived in LA Co for many years, good day when we moved north.
