In response to Molly’s Blog: Linsanity spreads to Volvo.In response to Molly’s Blog: Linsanity spreads to Volvo.

What other troubles may Volvo face by hiring their new spokesman mainly to gain customers of young and Chinese populations?
I believe since Volvo is going with this new rising star there are many ups as well as a few downs which go along with their decision. The positives are that it gives Jeremy Lin publicity while portraying to the younger generations.  By going with a new up in coming basketball star you are gaining new young fans of both Chinese and American decent.  But focusing solely on the younger generations the older people, which might not watch basketball, might feel left out.  This is why I like Lin as the spokesman.  He is a college graduate from Harvard, and he has worked as hard as he can to just get on a NBA team.  It surprised everyone when he took the New York Nicks on his back when their two star players were hurt on the bench.
What do you think about this move for Lin a young basketball star to be the new spokesman for Volvo?
If you do not like that he is the spokesman, who would you choose?
