  1. Industry Professionals: Let's Grade Ford.

    If you Google Infiniti Rocks and Trees Campaign you will find content. Essentially, the Infiniti brand wasn't ready for launch but it was made to appear that it had cars available for sale. Lexus was just launching. This gives away my age, but this campaign was a flop and ticked many customers...
  2. Industry Professionals: Let's Grade Ford.

    Agree with the general analysis you provide including pre-sale. However, this Bronco launch reminds me of the ill conceived "Rocks and Trees" effort that Infiniti used when they had no vehicles on the ground and the Q45 (the first Infiniti) was months away. Rocks and Trees was initiated to...
  3. Jim Hackett Retiring October 1st; Jim Farley to Take Over as CEO

    Difficult to have love for the guy or organization that wacked you. I know the feeling. But here is a true funny worth reading. When I was pink slipped from an automaker I won't name (along with 32 other exec's) I went into the meeting expecting a promo! (By the way the separation agreements...

    He wasn't a car guy. He could have been managing a pencil maker.
  5. Jim Hackett Retiring October 1st; Jim Farley to Take Over as CEO

    Nah, I was just below the true puppet masters at several auto companies. This launch more important than Mustang launch. The Boss gives "guidance" the underlings implement. Obviously the Ford family (aka Bill) wasn't happy with the value of his tock as compared to other makers. You will see a...

    I think I will buy FoMoCo when it opens in 10 minutes

    It means the Board (aka stock holders) could see the biggest launch since the Mustang was getting fouled up

  12. Grumblings from the Land Rover "Defender" community, they want a Bronco

    I'm not here to defend Nissan but we luckily have never had any kind of problem like that. Maybe it was tranny specific ? My son in Titan, wife Pathfinder, daughter Rogue, wife Infiniti. Over the years maybe 15 or more never had an issue. I am sorry you had that problem.
  13. Color Matched Hardtop vs Stock Carbonized Gray

    Maybe Ford made it grey because it will bleach grey eventually ? I owned an Avalanche and every piece of plastic turned grey. On my Jeep stock plastic fenders I use 303 to keep them dark, but once it wears off the grey returns.
  14. Grumblings from the Land Rover "Defender" community, they want a Bronco

    You are right in so many ways. But for me the drawbacks aren't all that great. I lived in Utah (owned and thrashed a Scout II in the Wasatch Front) and my adult kids live ther now. I routinely go from SoCal the 725 miles up route 15 (posted at 80mph) to get to the mountains. In all the hunting...
