I'm not sure I can see it happening. We know the old dealer teams were just a way to break the manufacturer embargo.

Time will tell.

Apart from that, who the hell formatted that article? its farked.

Can't be too many Ford dealers left with the cashflow.

Hell, there's still several that haven't updated their signage from the 90's.

If he's pushing more hearsay on Lexus then I'm going to post him a kick in the nuts.

The article seems to state that any Dealer funding is dependant on Ford matching the dollars.

This article doesn't indicate much interest from Ford

It's pretty poor taste that one, no doubt about it.

A million bucks will barely cover the hospitality bill for the season. There is zero chance of this happening.

At the very least, the Ford marketing department seems finally to be building some continuity & credibility of message in their latest ads. The delightful Ngaire Dawn Fair has been in the last few campaigns.. focusing on value for money in vehicles or finance, and not being afraid to call out that they arent the leader in some categories.

Still no Falcon however..

i found it weird that they decided to discuss it on Supercars live with Riana n and Will at the desk. that was just a bit rude i thought.

It was done in the same segment as the ford dealers discusion

No point marketing something the dealers don't stock. My yocal dealers (In a town of approximately 30,000) website lists 15 Rangers, 6 Focus, 6 Kuga and one Falcon. They barely appear to admit to selling them let alone advertising them.
