[QUOTE="13COBRA, post: 16223393, member: 138337"] Ford Motor Company isn't focused on pumping the car up, period. They aren't going to spend an unnecessary amount of money to pump up a car that is already HIGHLY anticipated, and will sell extremely quickly. FMC has a track record of providing vehicles with an abnormally LARGE demand, and [U]not[/U] advertising them or pumping them up before the release. 1.) The 2013 GT500 was the fastest selling sports car in the United States when it was released. It averaged 8 days on the showroom floor before selling, I don't remember which car was next, but it averaged nearly 30 days. 2.) The 2005 Ford GT was in one commercial during the Super Bowl, that was it...it's now selling for 2.5-4 times it's original MSRP. 3.) The 2017 Ford GT had people jumping out of buildings, among other highly illegal activities, to make videos to hopefully earn the right to purchase one. 4.) The 2000 Cobra R had 0 advertisements centered around it, yet the exclusivity of the vehicle sold itself. Yes, I think FMC needs to get with the program and advertise their top tier, exciting, and 'fun' vehicles more...but I don't blame them either, why spend $XXX,XXX on an advertising campaign when you don't have to? Hell, Dodge never advertised the Viper. The cool Pennzoil commercials came out AFTER they were done making them. [MEDIA=youtube]zrehQjsz5ck[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
