Marketing isn't mind control. It is most effective when your pushing products people mostly want anyway, and just having them prefer your spin on it. Its unlikely to cause a massive shift in the general type of car people want. It might cause them to buy small car X, over small car Y, but its much less likely to work in the attempt to get people to buy small car X over large car Z. SUVs didn't exist 15 years ago. What made Americans suddenly want SUVs? Space aliens?
