stardust Member 537 Member For: 20y 6m 21d Location: Brisbane Posted 19/11/04 09:38 AM Share Posted 19/11/04 09:38 AM I bought my T from Bryan Burt Ford at MT Gravatt back in July 2004The person who sold me my car was brilliant, answered my every question, what he could not answer he asked others.Since I have bought my T I have had phone calls from the dealer asking how everything is going, a few minor issues were fixed straight away no questions asked.So while there are a lot of bad dealers out there, I have been overwhelmed by the service I have recieved.Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xrtwpn Guests Posted 19/11/04 10:29 AM Share Posted 19/11/04 10:29 AM Marketing hands down - Expensive Daewoo by virtue of winning so many races in the V8Taxis and their very slick "knuckle dragger" advertising have really won the war. Ford may win most battles but it hardly counts when the 'game' is over.Even if Ford picks up back-to-back Taxi titles it won't be enough to reel in the Lion. I think Ford needs to fix an image problem, or rather create a new image - make the brand image younger, funkier, funner, and more importantly captilaise on the techno side of their cars.... Worked for Expensive Daewoo A.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>so true and well said to young people fords just arnt cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their cars do exciting things in their ads with AC/DC backing music. Holdens appeal more to those in the trades, XR6Ts appeal a bit more to the white collar crowd. Perhaps the white collar crowd who are prepared to buy Aussie is a bit smaller than the Expensive Daewoo market to begin with.Anyway, Holden's lion is a lion...that's a bloody African creature! And Holden's flagship, Monaro, runs a Yankee donk. However the Expensive Daewoo brand is acknowledged as uniquely Australian which is a big selling point for some who put that above quality.Ford ads need to be a bit more edgey, sneaky, witty, cool, funny. I like Ford ads, but they could be so much better! Expensive Daewoo ads are definitely better.Yanno, I did advermatising/marketing at uni...if I was in charge Id get the stupid male models out of the Ford ads, give me a big strong larrikin kangaroo with sunnies, give him a deep voice and have him doing cool/clever sh*t in an XR6T or FPV...

Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons "target" crowd are very much one in the same . Which is why the cars are so similar in size ,packaging , price and every other tangible and non-tangible area.
