Everyone in Dealerland hates Ford's marketing people, they don't show enough of the cars and their features, the new ads are decent, and the ad focused on XR has a tasty little sound bite of the T under Accel.

No point advertising a car that you can't actually look at or drive yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they blew the budget and dont have funding allocation for the add to go on early???hhhhmmmmm makes one think - how true the article in Motor Mag was about this being the last Falcon for Australia??
