Ron W. Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 niiiice...but since we are not expecting the car for 3 or more months what gives?????? are they thanking him for an order??????? Yes When applicants were first being interviewed to replace Bill Ford as the top man in the Blue Oval Office, we wonder what exactly the process included. It turns out that in addition to being a pretty good salesman, Alan Mulally is also adept at making house calls. The FoMoCo CEO personally phoned Michael Snapper, a lawyer hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to thank him for purchasing a Ford Fusion Hybrid over a Toyota Prius. To put this into perspective, could you imagine getting a personal call from Honda's Takeo Fukui, personally thanking you for purchasing a Honda over a Harley? Or from Steve Jobs, congratulating you for choosing an iPod in lieu of a Zune? Ridiculous, no? If this seems like nothing more than a publicity stunt, well, it's exactly that. I like his thinking though. :beerchug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yes I like his thinking though. :beerchug: so do I, pretty classy, but the Journalist should re-word his scripture, guy has NOT purchased a vehicle yet...he has ordered it....

rmc523 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 My God, someone actually bought one................... 24,999 left! Not sure if he'll do it for every Fusion Hybrid buyer (I doubt it), but if he did, it'd sorta be an incentive for an enthusiast to buy one.....you'd get to talk to him directly, that'd be pretty cool.

jpd80 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Maybe a personal congratulations letter from Alan Mulally and an unique builder's plate number? They could be a collector's item one day............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 "Mulally rings man...." What is this? Fake British day? Say "Mulally calls man" and have done. Why not "Mulally rings up man on telly, offers to fill Fusion boot with a supermarket trolley of crisps, chips, etc." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what the article said: The FoMoCo CEO personally phoned Michael Snapper, a lawyer hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to thank him for purchasing a Ford Fusion Hybrid over a Toyota Prius.
