I just dislike that term...

Entry level car...
Entry level camera...
what's next? Entry level watches and razor blades?

Makes me angry just thinking about it. It's like I HAVE to buy 'entry level' so I can later graduate to a higher level.

The entry level condoms are the worst thing... it's embarrasing to go ask a clerk where they are...

roflmao

maybe 'starter condoms' would be a better term?

What would you prefer ?

Basic ? Starter ? 'My First' ? ... for dummies ?

Entry Level: Appropriate for or accessible to one who is inexperienced in a field or new to a market: an entry-level job in advertising; an entry-level computer.

There is a joke in here somewhere but I will refrain from saying it.

Is that the joke when you ask a clerk for aspirin and start winking?

Would you like some training wheels with that whine?

LOL, it's just a way that marketing departments have devised to sell you low-end products that you can afford, and make you feel good about your purchase at the same time. :D :D :D

I like the phrase "Pre-owned vehicles". What does that REALLY mean? It means a USED vehicle! All kinds of catch phrases like this, and really funny when you realize it or think about it.
