November 4, 201510 yr Does anyone here have any interest in manufacturer press kits? I have certain ones I will not be parting with (Stingray, NSX) but most others I need to get rid of. If you cover the shipping I would be happy to send them to you. Most come with a catalog type information kit and a USB drive.

(open, complete) Kia Soul - USB drive only....blank, in the shape of a punk hippity hoppity hampster Ford - USB drive only....Blue Oval flip out USB, blank Ram Promaster - USB drive only blank
November 4, 201510 yr Author The answer to that can vary greatly. In nearly all cases, they are kits given out to the journalists attending a press release event for a specific vehicle. It can be anything from a cheap, plain, branded USB drive with the new model's pictures on it, to large books with pictures and stats on the new model, to even more elaborate things like water tight emergency kits (Jeep), an espresso cup set (Fiat), or fancy desk ornaments (Corvette, NSX). FCA almost always does the biggest and bulkiest ones... large books or heavy metal boxes. The one for the Dart was rather simple.. it was just a USB drive shaped like a dart you'd throw at a board. Honda does the tiniest USB drives I've ever seen. VW does their in the shape of a key. I have an Audi tie clip USB drive. Mercedes hands out CD or business cards with their web address on them (cheap cheap cheap)

Thanks! What, no GMC?
November 6, 201510 yr Author Haven't I already sent you a GMC one? I'll figure out the shipping for the jeep kit, but I may also be in the Philly area in the 1st week of December if you're around.
November 6, 201510 yr Drew...would you be so kind and offer me the Ford USB press kit? Thanks. On second thought...forget it. Thank anyway. Edited November 7, 201510 yr by oldshurst442

November 7, 201510 yr That is what I thought...It would be cool to have a Ford branded USB key...but...I could live with out it.
