Those members need to look at how that company has gone. yes, they went through the same process, Ford are currently going through (making people redundant and shift cutting), but it's obvious their advertising campaign is having some sort of impact. They've posted a profit and employed another 100 odd people. So that's not bad for a company that's annoying the beejesus out of you and surposedly lying about their product.

I think what Ford need to do, is produce a small car, in Australia. Not import one, like they are currently doing. They might even need a more aggressive advertising campaign.

Hopefully things pan out in the future. The car manufacturing industry needs it in this country

not all mate , the point i was trying to make , and probably did it poorly, was that ford australia`s has under advertised falcon imo and they deserve critisism in this area, holden just is out there advertising all the time day after day even to the point of stretching the truth imo, i certainly don`t believe a holden goes any better than a ford , wether you do or not is up to you, its my belief that the jingles from holden though annoying are also a sign that people know inside out, upside down, backwards who and what are selling the goods, and i did comend the other car companies for great marketing, holden was included in that even though i did`nt name them(my bad).
