BREAKING NEWS: GM Is Offering The Ford Challenge, Not Ford!

June 10, 2007 on 1:00 pm | In News |

Getting beaten up with your own idea is as embarrassing as getting beaten up by Carrot Top.

This just keeps getting better!

General Motors announced that it was going to be offering what is basically the Ford Challenge. That’s right, you can show up to one of 435 GM dealers across the U.S. and test drive GM’s Saturn Aura against the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry.

Is Ford offering the same thing at their dealerships? No.

So the Ford Challenge, created by Ford, is being advertised by Ford, but not offered by Ford. GM stepped right into this vacuum, and is now clubbing Ford with it’s own marketing! This reminds me of that saying, “I’m going to rip off your arm and beat you with it.”

This announcement should serve as a big wake-up call to Barry Engle, the marketing head at the Ford division, that I’m right here on the bench, ready to step in and take his job. Maybe Barry should hire me before Bill ousts him and gives me his job?
