Bluecon Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Not a story Genius. It is truth. Other than mis-interpreting data what involvement do you have in the auto industry that gives you any credibility? Your biases cloud common sense. Your posts are a waste of time. PS Not to mention there are inventory issues which are now affecting sales rate of travel. I'm resorting to buying out of inventories thousands of miles from me. Hardly the trait of a failed vehicle. Well I know the Ford dealer I bought my truck from provides abysmall service and from what I hear the other ones in town are no better.The dealers are the weakest link in the whole Ford system.

Michael Reynolds Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Bluecon, would you please start showing up more than once a month when monthly sales are posted. We miss you! It's nice to see some of you grasping at straws "bubububu......." only to come up with BS. I've had a considerable amount of drive time in an Edge, and it is a very nice vehicle especially for something as heavy as it is. Ford is 95% there with that vehicle. Oh and please lets not use the Pacifica as an example. It never turned into the darling that Chrysler thought it would. The Freestar (which it competes with BTW) might not be all there interesting or a car for a speed freak, but when it comes to hauling people it has the Pacifica beat hands down.

NLPRacing Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Actually Bluecon is right 97.6% of the time. Actually I think the genius of my posts is that I will make predictions and then watch them come true.

Bluecon Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Interesting that you choose to change the subject. I did not change the subject. I am merely replying to the dealer that knows more about the auto industry than anyone else. You are the one that is ducking replying to the topic.

falconman13 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Blucon Have you seen Chryslers numbers? Their big sellers were their fleet vehicles. I am not saying that Fleet sales is the only reason for their modest bump. But if you compare the vehicles that lost against the models that gained. Only the Wrangler looks like it actually did anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluecon Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Bluecon, would you please start showing up more than once a month when monthly sales are posted. We miss you! Kinda like going to the dentist for a root canal It's nice to see some of you grasping at straws "bubububu......." only to come up with BS. I've had a considerable amount of drive time in an Edge, and it is a very nice vehicle especially for something as heavy as it is. Ford is 95% there with that vehicle.

The Freestar (which it competes with BTW) might not be all there interesting or a car for a speed freak, but when it comes to hauling people it has the Pacifica beat hands down. I remember when they were launching the Pacifica and Zetsche was calling it a segment buster. Just before he said that Toyota would never outsell Chrysler in the USA.

Bluecon Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 LOL.....man you just love stirring that pot don't you.......you don't drive a Rhondo do you? What is a Rhondo? No I don't drive one. I have a Dart and a GTX and Monte CarloSS and a Valiant convertible and a Chevy pickup and a Ford Ranger but no Rhondo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campbell53 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 No...I said I know about the car business than YOU. And information from "what you hear" is supposed to have some bearing on the truth? There might be some bad dealers but I ain't one of them. I sweat 60 hour a week peddling Ford product and have the profits and Customer Satisfaction scores to prove it. What can you prove? Absolutely nothing. Go back where you came from unless you can add something of merit to this discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVT_MAN Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I haven't read the whole thread because I don't have time, but here's my take: Whoever attacked Bec is attacking the man instead of the idea. Politicians do the same thing frequently. Not a good move. I'd just drop it if I were you. If the Edge outsold the Murano, great .. more power to Ford. But, by gloating in someone else's incorrect prediction, you're just asking to start a flame war. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, by gloating in someone else's incorrect prediction, you're just asking to start a flame war. The problem is that Bec was the one to set it off...by basically pissing on the car before it was even out...based on his assumptions...so he has it coming to him... Theres a difference between saying I don't think it will be successful and I think it will bomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAC_Sparky Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 But, by gloating in someone else's incorrect prediction, you're just asking to start a flame war. If you're smug enough to make predictions, you should be able to take the flack when you're wrong. The vehicle wasn't even released yet, and people were selling it down the shitter, not even seeing one in person let alone actually driving one. If you want to offer an opinion, ie. I don't like it, don't think it'll do well, etc. that's one thing. You want to make predictions, that's another. Nobody had a gun to his head and forced him to make one.
