I know that the GS was talked about in another thread in another area but i figure with this article from car advice it might be relevant here because of the possibility of the XR8 disappearing.
http://www.caradvice.com.au/36942/fp...-in-september/ (from caradvice.com.au) I really think dropping the XR8 name would be a bad idea for 2 reasons. 1. People are really starting to get to know the XR name, especially the younger generation who dont remember the original GS and even people who dont know a lot about cars know that an XR is a Ford... generally. 2. The amount of FPV dealers compared to Ford dealers is very limited. If Ford dropped XR then only FPV dealers would be able to stock GS's and hence people would no see them as much and less likely to buy them. From my experience if a dealership doesnt have the vehicle a customer is looking for (or something very similar) they will walk away and buy the competitions vehicle. any one else have any thoughts ?? |
