J-150 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Funny video. But I noticed they didn't have anyone driving a DCT Focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd statement since Ford doesn't build that anymore...I also noticed that no one drove an EXP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Rosadini Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 this is Edsel's son? And what is his position in company? In addition to Elena, how many other "Fords" are still active? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is, as a marketing tool it's as bad as the Chevy "real people". Oh you hate Ford? Here, drive a GT. Not, hey drive the vehicles that make you hate Ford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not, hey drive the vehicles that make you hate Ford. They weren't Ford owners, they owned other brands. It's not nearly as bad as the Chevy commercials because they don't harp on JD Power awards or get them to gush about Fords. They just show them driving and being driven in Ford vehicles and their reactions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to see a younger Ford being used in marketing. It gives the company "a human face" that most corporations the size of Ford don't have. Anyhow it's funny and a better take on it all compared to the Chevy "Real People" ads that seem very staged with actors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx Agree on the "human face" aspect and I think they don't do enough to play that card. Granted not everyone gives a hoot about that connection but in this age of faceless corporate entities I think it is a good marketing asset. then again, ANYTHING is better than the "real people" Cheby ads!

I had an 86 Escort GT as my first car and I see them pop up time to time online...though given how badly the rear shock towers rot on them, good luck on finding one without rust damage.
