Question

What is the implied message in this example? Car Ad: A pretty and stylish young woman holds on tightly to a car's steering wheel. She asks shyly, "Is this car easy to drive?" The announcer says, "Yes! The new GMP Mini-automatic is the easiest car available to drive. It practically drives itself! No thinking required!" GMP Mini-automatic — it almost drives itself!

Answer 1

it's implied that the car is easy to drive, and by saying "it practically drives itself", it means anyone could drive said car.

Answer 2

Answer: women are not good drivers.

This ad implies that women are not good drivers. This is shown by the way the woman asks whether it is difficult to drive the car. This indicates that she believes driving to be difficult, or that she is not confident of her abilities as a driver. The announcer tells her that she will be ok, because there is "no thinking required." This implies that even though she is bad, because the car requires little thinking, she will still be ok.
