4 » LENSES November 2018 | AutoData OH DEAR LORD... Jose Luiz Gandini calls (worried) and tries to dissociate Kia of Brazil, and its management, from that shameful show provided by former motorsport champion whose name I cite here so that there is no doubt, a certain Emerson Fittipaldi - by the way in note E Emerson, who would have thought it..., published in this session in edition 349 of AutoData. All that Kia did, reported Gandini, was to hire the former champion for two events, related to the Stinger GT, as it had already done, in identical terms, the Kia of America. And the former champion had not informed anyone of his willingness to engage in political proselytism, Gandini swore. Would it have been an eventual outbreak of brucellosis? OH DEAR LORD… 2 But it is incredible that an already very old advertising boy - really old, by the way - has the courage to take that kind of public attitude. For a person who has already rented his own image to transnational companies, it is simply laughable any alleged ignorance of compulsory behavior on occasions like those: he knows the dress code very well, and obviously everything else, including compliance. Anyway, it is that horrible attitude of a person who judges himself above good and evil. It makes perfect sense. OH DEAR LORD... 3 What is left, now, as Gandini’s speech was accepted, is to keep an eye on the public signals that the former champion will send to show that he managed to escape from the ruins of his business, for which neither rich friends nor financial institutions were willing to endow profitability. Even worse: if this happens, who wouldn’t bet on a shady deal? Disclousure/Kia Motors
