All this needs to be in a James Bond movie are machine guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds91776 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Didn't Ford almost/kinda get into this in the late 90's-early-2000's with the THINK! brand? Not saying this couldn't be a good business idea, but I was just wondering if anyone else remembered that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 They trademarked C-MAX for bikes a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerLS Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Didn't Ford almost/kinda get into this in the late 90's-early-2000's with the THINK! brand? Not saying this couldn't be a good business idea, but I was just wondering if anyone else remembered that. I'm pretty sure they got into it briefly, then ended up selling out their stake.

atomcat68 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Unlike the Think, the bikes (I would imagine) would not be as big of an investment or drain of resources because they are after all bikes. This I think would be more likely have a better chance of success as it puts a creative spin on something tried and true. As long as the bikes aren't absurdly expensive, it should work.
