Bit like a certian editorials recent marketing ploy to get there mag talked about on the web in forums, to maybe entice more ppl to go buy it. :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/3217-clowns-ford-marketing-dept/#findComment-23620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FlashingRED Guests Posted 20/05/03 02:59 AM Share Posted 20/05/03 02:59 AM Heh, Heh....It's the simple things in life that make the world we live in so humourous at times.....As to maybe no photo available of XR8 dash, well, use of mech. technology (camera) and human body technology (brain !!) would be sufficent......... :idea: :doh2: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/3217-clowns-ford-marketing-dept/#findComment-23621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Walker Guests Posted 20/05/03 03:17 AM Share Posted 20/05/03 03:17 AM You'd think by now they would have some new shots of the car as well. This is the pre-production version with the short bonnet bulge.

Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 22y 3m 14d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 20/05/03 03:27 AM Share Posted 20/05/03 03:27 AM What about the ads for premium sound, in the brocures they show the Fairmont version, of course when you see it in your T the first reaction is....What!....no Premium Sound!! They could have explained that one better in their advertising literature.

Guest IMTRBO Guests Posted 20/05/03 08:50 AM Share Posted 20/05/03 08:50 AM I dont think it is a matter of not know what they are selling compared to false advertising I pleaded with the dealer to put in a fairmont ghia interior in my T when I put the order in and no such luck why why why but know they advertise it alongside a pic or an xr 8 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/3217-clowns-ford-marketing-dept/#findComment-23689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not XR's), but I could swear the car that all the guys are washing is an XR....Maybe my eyes are playing tricks with me, who knows..
