BriefExplanation

TrueCar makes car buying so much easier that customers may think it is actually easy. As a brand committed to transparency, TrueCar feels the need to clarify that it makes car buying easier, not easy, yet. Each radio execution begins with a customer remarking on the “ease” of car buying by using an idiom; easy as pie, stealing candy from a baby or a walk in the park. TrueCar’s legal counsel, Chris Adams, follows to immediately clarify the term “easy as pie”, there by revealing the complexity of pies in themselves. Chris clarifies that buying a car with TrueCar is probably as easy as making a pie but not as easy as eating a pie. TrueCar. Quite possibly the easiest way to buy a car.

EntrySummary

As the adage goes “if it’s too good to be true, it probably is”. Life teaches us that over and over again. Sub-prime loans. Fat-free cookies. Age-defying, pretty much anything. The internet, which promised to democratize all information for all humans, comes with pages and pages of “Terms and Conditions” that we all have to “Agree” with. As an internet based company whose mission is “transparency,” we wanted to take this to heart in our rebranding campaign. The truth is, car buying is not easy. And it probably won’t be for a while. But everything we do at TrueCar is helping to make it easier. Is it as “Easy as Pie?” Well, that depends. Do you mean eating pie? Or making it? Because it’s definitely as easy as making it. Easier, even. But no one can compete with eating pie. Let’s be honest.

Wow, buying a truck with TrueCar was easy as pie.

Hello, I’m Chris Adams, lawyer for TrueCar. It’s come to my attention that I should clarify the term “easy as pie,” which initially, I figured would be a pretty simple task, but it turns out pies are quite complex. I found a recipe on the Internet called 'easy pie crust,' and it takes almost two hours to make. And then, if you think about all the things that go into a pie-pumpkin, pecan, cherry, apple, chicken pot - you have to go to the store, get the ingredients, then go home and assemble them in such a way that after cooking it, the end result will be, you know, a pie.

In any case, I’m confident when I say that buying a truck with TrueCar is as easy as making a pie. Certainly, however, it is not as easy as eating a pie, but then again, eating a pie is top five easiest things to do. Top three, probably. Anyway, I’m sorry if you were expecting some sort of revelation about pies. I don’t have one. In any case, considered yourself disclaimed.

TrueCar. Quite possibly the easiest way to a buy a car.
