IF you really find it that offensive why aren't you busy making inquiries to FORD?
I really wonder how many people, besides me, won't be going to a Ford dealership for any more new cars.

I don't know?

How many silly people do you think there are?

As for me, IF I was buying a new car, I'd want the most bang for my $$$ and really don't give a rat's ass what language they advertise in.

BTW, I'm curious.

What would you see as more of an American car, a Ford made in Mexico by Mexican labor or a Honda made in Ohio by American labor?

You'd have to at least understand that language to know if you're getting the most bang for your buck.

Ok, go to the Chevy lot and buy yourself a Tahoe built in Guadalajara, Mexico. Or, a Camaro with a Chinese engine. Or, buy a Dodge and send your American money to Italy or, God forbid, the UAW (Fiat and the union basically own Chrysler jointly). Better yet, buy a Nissan or Kia or Toyota or Honda. Even though the car may be built in America, they're still foreign companies, right?

Go ahead and do that because you don't like Ford selling AMERICAN made products, built mostly by AMERICAN workers in AMERICAN plants using predominantly AMERICAN parts, but advertising in Spanish and call it...what? Patriotism?

WHY?

I don't believe the advertising no matter what language it's in.

i.e., A FORD salesman telling me a FORD's a good car doesn't mean much to me. Now if a Chevy salesman tells me a FORD's a good car............................................... ...............................

Was that last EO not aimed at making all those illegals superior to the legals from the same countries? Yep, I think you could see some involvement if you opened your eyes.

I don't care what they think.

If you're going to respond, at least have the decency to actually answer the question.

I agree, if that is your majority customer base, but it's not mine so I have no reason. I don't use a cleanup crew, etc. All of the taco shops speak English so there again, doesn't affect me a bit.


It would have made slightly more sense with English caption.
