There is an excellent article in this month's "Mustang Times" (The Mustang Club of America) monthly magazine. I'm sure we have all "suspected," at one time or another, that a thread on this board - or another board - seemed "out of balance negative" and seemed to lack "genuine detail." Also we have seen problems "proclaimed" but professional help from the Ford Rep refused???? In the article, in this month's Mustang Times, by John Chlor - a journalist, he reveals that he was approached, by a foreign car manufacturer, to post "provocative threads" - falsely complaining about problems with "Fords." Having been an employee of Ford SVT, he was in a good position to "fabricate" problem posts for the internet boards. This was all part of a program to create "grass roots dissatisfaction" with Ford products (If someone says they have a problem, maybe I do too). A good reminder that "everything that glitters is not gold!" And, the phrase "I read it on the internet" has very little value as "proof."

It only makes sense, I would hope everyone on a board reading posts or listening to an argument takes everything with a grain of salt.

Personally I'm always skeptical of a few members here that seems to reporting new issues almost every week.

I'm skeptical of anyone that:
Owns a 2011+.
Has been on here for less than a year.
Has less than 1,000 posts.
Says something stupid more than 3 times.

Lol why 2011+?

I don't belong to the MCA, I'll have to see if a buddy of mine has that article, would make for an interesting read.

Because the term 'conquest buyers' wasn't part of the marketing plan until the right product was available

stupidgenius36

Too many CAI/MT82 threads.

Just wait till the Chinese start marketing cars in the US. Oh man the espionage that will ensue.

bob

Oh man, just noticed this Radio, better get rid of that stuff before it causes problems and get some Brake fluid

bob

You might be on to something, a certain former Ford product typical viewed as European is now owned by the Chinese... hmmm....
