wilsons66604 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've seen this ad a million times but just now realized that it says nothing. "Does your car do this?..." Watch it. They never actually say that the new Edge does all this fancy stuff. It's our fault if we make the assumptions. The word Deceptive comes to mind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYrpEm8CfSg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl-z Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I predict that the chief Ford apologist here will take exception to the word "deceptive"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakville_edge Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 What is it that they're demonstrating that the Edge doesn't do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choff1138 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Do ya think?? What doesn't your car do of that? the only thing that I noticed was the contact photo and the wall paper (but I haven't tried too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It merely asks if your's does it . It's left wide open for you to assume. Very Clever Edited November 22, 2010 by wilsons66604 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda funny (ha ha) that the ad is left open and prevents me from holding Ford's feet to the fire. The ad says nothing! Did I say Clever??

wilsons66604 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) People who have a working system will not have an issue with this commercial. I have major issues trying to get features to work. Does my system show contact photos? No! I guess that is why I am so critical to the marketing of this stuff. It's all left wide open and never really says the system works. It's asking me if mine does it. NO It doesn't! I am still happy with the new ride but I am trying to bring to light the clever marketing that is being used Edited November 22, 2010 by wilsons66604 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkevingossett Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Do you really have nothing better to do? Your one vehicle doesn't represent every vehicle out there. Take up your issues with your dealer, and let us enjoy our forum without your constant complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do but it won't do any good to keep arguing about it. I'll let the others chime in on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner you realize and accept that, the better your life will be. You should be on the Apple forums complaining about why Apple can't follow industry standards. Then go out of there way to change connectors on future generations, screwing anyone who has an older phone.

Edgieguy Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I like that 3D Map, but unfortunately they show features the way toy companies show toys, in an artificial environment. Touch will get better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
