Yeah that's what happens to any new vehicle we bring in here. Maybe that's why they don't want to lease new trucks.

First hot take on the Danger Ranger.
Riding shotgun in a truck as it drives over dirt mounds in a parking lot. Why even bother? Wow Ford. Wow.

They are going full on :scrooge: with this release. The parking lot with random dirt mounds is a joke... the "engineer" they had talking to the reporters was looking like an epic tard, he needed some presentation coaching etc.
Overall it just looks like they are half-assing the entire thing...

Meanwhile Jeep.... had an epic launch website, a countdown timer, epic pics taken in New Zealand etc. Just full on wow on the sales job.

This shit is legit part of my job, and I'd be fired for letting something like this happen. It's embarrassing.

I think the head honcho is seriously tightening the belt on every level and it is showing...
1. No real products being developed that are "bets"
2. Lay offs
3. Less money spent on advertising etc

Literally, Ford and Chrysler swapped spots from a few years back. :member: when Chrysler 200s were the laughing stock of the automotive world ?! Seems like the Fusions are that of todays world.

I've had my belt tightened too, but I'd rather do nothing than this embarrassment. Digital marketing through social can be more powerful and free (just ask Elon).

Last I checked, none of the big 3 have Iron Man himself working there.

FCA knows how to release a damn car. The super bowl Wrangler commercial with it just climbing a fucking waterfall? :jimp: no real words needed. Could be watching that at a bar can't hear shit and you'd still want it after seeing that. Abarth with the hot girl with the tattoo? :jimp: The entire Demon release? :jimp:

Shit I mean Ford does too.... the GT was a complete :wtf: from everyone and it absolutely stole that entire auto show. Nobody had any idea it was coming, they assumed the center car was going to be a mustang version.
