Forgive me, this is absolutely stupid

[AFA]

Didn't Ford just stop making the Taurus about 4 months ago?

Now they want rename their poorly selling Five Hundred, a Taurus? Is that why these guys get paid the big bucks? Why don't they call the poor selling Five Hundred a "T-ota Camri 500", and keep making the Taurus? Could my idea be any more stupid?

I've never seen a company in greater need of a new management team in my life....

Take their best seller off the market, and put the name plate on the worst seller. I wonder if anyone will notice that always wanted a new Taurus?

Maybe call it the Curvette? That sounds fast and sporty!

What a history of great cars, and now it seems that they have no clue where to go. A shame.

Like driving out of control at high speed on ice with no brakes?

Just think, some marketing team that gets paid a whole lot and has a lot of education probably spent a great amount of time coming up with that. I could do something only half as stupid for a quarter of the price if they would have just asked me.

What was their best seller?

The Taurus was a very poor performer here in Aus.

Just how bad off do you have to be to have to really on the name "Taurus" to save your ass!:rofl2:

By the way they never quit making the Taurus, they just started slapping a Jaguar emblem on it thinking they were fooling people!
