ya these are silly lines used by companies and they don't care as long as u buy their products......
Here's a classic example:
Years ago my chem teacher told me about this ad on radio which basically goes something like:
" Try our new skin lotion. It'll refresh all YOUR CELL WALLS AND make u look better"
NO joke ..... Cell walls....

It can't be. It's an oxymoron.
Unless it's a new improvement. As opposed to the old improvement. I guess that sort of works.
Companies seem to just put it on things to make them sound good! Without realising it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Well it could be referring to a new product (new because its different from its older version) yet its improving on that 'old' product. I think they are using new in REFERENCE to its predecesor(s). i.e. which is newer, a tube tv or a flat screen. The flat screen is, therefore it is new and improved. Makes sense ya?

it really depends on the context in which you are using it but if its new whoever made it, did a better job than the last time they made it. Or it was so improved its like new. and so on
