Now who was it that was ragging on me the other day saying that we’d never get a Euro Focus b/c it wouldn’t sell?

Instead of quarterly results Ford should just call them period reports since there’s so much bleeding involved.

was it i-robot?

I wonder where is the guy who claimed that Ford is NOT firing or reducing size in thousands (not hundreds). Ford is definitely will can 15% of its employees or even more. The sad part it is people who actually do some work who get canned, not bureaucrats in headquarters and useless scions.
Plans of bringing European cars to US are plans. So far Ford could not execute its way out of the paper bag, we’ll see how they will execute construction of small cars in US. My guess, and I could be wrong, US (as well as Canadian) plants will be shut in 2-3 years, and all production work will go south of border.

hey Johnny, you think those are triple-mentsies? Tripple the strength every quarter instead of monthly regulars? Did I mention, I have P&G shares, I should suggest special brand of tampons just for Ford. Let’s have contest how we should call those. Shall we start with Fields brand or Mullaly? ihustle?

If Ford was a rain forest they’d need one the size of an elephant to plug the hole.

====>>I would like to see the next Mercury Moutaineer…

If Ford would just listen to us morons posting here, they would have had a plan in place to bring the global c platform here years ago and they would be building them now rather than by 2010 or 2012.

Uh oh… there just went ihustle’s next raise… HAHA

cookie, everybody is OK at making plans. It is execution that sucks, or in Ford’s case bleeds.

Need4SSpeed, don’t worry about ihustle: he is selling Pinto to his own grandma in fiery red right now.

But… but… but NOBODY will buy the Euro Focus! It doesn’t appeal to the masses!

Bullsh¡t, Señor Robot!

Ford is boring. It’s a boring company (even with news of record losses and layoffs) and its products are boring. It’s managers are boring and they give boring answers to interview questions, as if they’ve all been coached to be bland.
Ford always aims for the lowest common denominator. It provides its cars with as little horsepower as the market will let it get away with. Camaro is about to eat Mustang’s lunch.

howsmydriving, i disagree. ihustle is very entertaining and he represents FoMoCo.

Howsmydriving… I’d love to see a 2010 Mustang GT and a 2010 Camaro SS face off. Seeing the Camaro’s dissapointing track numbers I’d be willing to put my money on the Mustang.

Can anyone look and see what time the current Mustang GT ran the ‘ring in? What year was that… 2004?

Ford is in trouble.

trucks and SUVs R big bargin products, while small cars R barely profitable.

plants as soon as December.

the nexw Explorer mite not B what loyalists wantr

When the Ford stock fell to $1.00….I will start to buy.

*BEAT* You are really half a retart. I never said the euro focus would never be here, i said it is not here now for a reason. IS IT HERE? I dont see it. Do you have one near you? I doubt it. LLN is off it will make a 2011 debut and it will not be the same focus sold in europe, the body style is different. SO i guess they never bring the current europe version huh?Dumb@*s.Ohh and post the robot thing man, your masterpiece. Ohh now im *Senor* HAHAHAHAHA

HOW* How does for aim for the lowest common denominator? Explain, because i think your typing BS.
*XYuna* aka female. Wheres the 2008 pinto? I dont think i have those on my lot.. Ohhh it was a joke. Should i laugh to make you feel better??? are you a comedian??? Really great material female.

ihustle - i think it is hilarious you can correctly spell ‘denominator’, but can’t spell ‘retard’.
-
any promises from an auto manufacturer is about as useful as a promise from a politician.

Wake me in 2010.

never said i was a fantastic speller. I sell car, i dont teach english

CARS

I am a fantastic salesman though, at least i have that going for me

Not with that spelling and sentence structure, that’s for sure. As for your statements:

“The Euro focus isnt here, because the Euro focus wouldnt sell. THATS WHY ITS THE EURO FOCUS!!!”

“The new focus appeals the masses, a euro focus has “select” group of buyers in the US.”

“Do you know 200,000 enthusiast? Because if you dont it probably won’t matter to ford. ‘Raineman’ i agree with you the euro focus is f*cking sweet. The current focus appeals to the masses. Do you see the Euro focus being driven by mothers, or old men. I dont. I see it being driven by young guys that are looking for performance. That is not the masses. Ford is looking at the big picture, and marketing cars to the majority of americans.”

“You guys think your the first people to think of bringing the euro focus here. They’ve thought of it, ford appeals to the masses. the euro focus would be a select group of buyers. Makes no sense.”

“*Beat* If only 10% of the ‘enthusiasts’ are interested. It is not worth it for ford for 10%. They look at the majority. Being 75% and above. Whats funny is you guys think your the first people to actually come up with the idea of bringing the Euro focus here. Were talking about a multi-billion dollar company here, they’ve thought of it. Its not here because it does not apeal to main stage. Fords not looking for impreza #’s, there looking for Civic #’s.”

“*BEat* DO you work for ford? Last i checked your opinion gets the same attention as dog excretion on the side walk. Do you think they havent thought of that seriously???????????? Your right you have better ideas then a mukti billion dollar company. Stick to writing story its the only thing worth wild reading”

What’s funny is that you kept telling us that the reason the Euro Focus isn’t here is because it doesn’t appeal to the masses. Seems like you were wrong, because apparently, it does. That’s the point I made in post #12. I never said anything about it never being here, only that you are wrong about it not appealing to the masses. Seems to me that it is worth it to Ford to bring it here, which means enough people will buy it, which means it appeals to the masses. Next time read my posts before you run off at the fingers.

By the way, the original “Robot Post” thread has been removed by LLN. But just so you remember the proper origins, JohnnyCanuck started the guns (which had nothing to do with you at first) and Monte started the “Robot Theory”. I started the Horse’s Ass theme. So far, Robot seems to stick with quite a few of us.

itampon, are you telling us that all Pintos are burned already? Nothing left even for comedy routine. So sad, I guess you have to sell rolling Explorers only and they don’t fly off the lot as fast.

or yeah, itampon, you are NOT selling cars all that well either, the name of the article 8.7 billion Ford loss in ONE quarter!

Finally, Transit’s comming here
Do you know that a diesel version can lap Nurburgring in 10:08 seconds?

beatusmongous
Have you ever seen Euro Focus live? Have you ever driven one?
Well, I have, being European makes things easier, and it’s a league ahead of the US Focus.

It shares chassis with Mazda3 and Volvo C30, so it offers class leading driving capabilities, it’s design, reliability and quality is much better than the US Focus.

And, commmon, give some credit to the US buyers, they will certainly grow up and mature and find Focus and Fiesta very attractive.

Those weren’t my statements, Kitko. They were from iHustle. I want the Euro Focus here. I believe we’re ready for it, and I feel Ford made a big mistake in that regard.

“Finally, Transit’s comming here
Do you know that a diesel version can lap Nurburgring in 10:08 seconds?”
kitko

Maybe you should read up on this as that lap time was recorded as the van followed a Viper so the van could get into “clean air” so it seems the aero drag on the boxy van was reduced.

Lets not forget that 7.4 billion of the was in writedowns. I’m not trying to cover for ford buts lets analyze the facts. I’m waiting to see what the others companies says when its all said and done.

*Xyunya *Did you think of that yourselfg? What brand do you like? You keep bringing up a vehicle that hasnt been in production for a long time. Why is that? Is that the only vehicle you can use to prove why you dont like ford? Not quite understanding, kind of confused?So what brand do you like? You love to bash other brands but it seems as if your to scared of being ridiculed for what you like. Please explain.
*Beat* Aww dont want to take blame for the gun story. Kind of funny how you pointed that out. COme out with another robot story, Since theres so many of “Yous” Mentioning it. Whats funny is its you and your bf MONTE that has been mia. Like you had all lln saying it HAHAHA Your not that important buddy. Your an unemployed loser.

there does be alot of euro bashing here on these posts.i have seen comments from people saying european cars are overhyped etc, but then you guys really want euro/german developed cars such as mondeo,focus,astra,kuga,insignia

That’s called a “straw man” fallacy, in case you wondered. I’m no more unemployed than you are. The funniest thing is that you deny the robot and everything else, but you don’t deny the Horse’s Ass. Instead, you just say, “Is that the best you can do?” I find that rather amusing.

But just for everyone’s amusement, I’ll rewrite a new iHustle Sales Robot commercial:

ANNOUNCER: As if the iHustle Sales Robot wasn’t enough, we now introduce you to the new iHustle Sales Robot version 2.0! With new added features like the ability to spell the word “denominator”, and an improved confidence chip, iHustle is perfect for your sales business. We still offer the same popular “flavors”, including Lime, Tangerine, Blueberry, Snow, Graphite and Horse’s Ass, but now we’ve added on more flavor: Retart.

CUSTOMER: The iHustle stopped at nothing to convince me to purchase my new truck. He even threatened to beat me up if I considered something else! It was a wonderful experience altogether.

ANNOUNCER: Operation of the iHustle is simple. Just insert your brochure into the slot in the chest, and your iHustle will scan every page and be ready to recite it to customers in minutes. No more orientations, no more training trips, just unpack your iHustle and reap the sales benefits in no time.

MANAGER: The iHustle is great. He sells more than my whole team combined did. I ended up letting nearly everyone go, and now I’m saving money AND earning money at the same time! And I never have to worry about a water bottle, smoke breaks, luncheons, or anything a regular employee would demand.

SALESMAN: Well, at least you didn’t let everyone go, boss.

MANAGER: I only kept you because you’re my son-in-law. But I’m trying to get my daughter to consider divorce.

ANNOUNCER: So come down today and pick up your iHustle Sales Robot. Easy to operate, easy to maintain, and VERY entertaining!

Did the horses ass need a comment? Horses ass? ive never heard the term used before, i thought you seemed like enough of a dumb as$ saying it over and over again. Why even chime in? You make yourself look childish enough, you dont need my assistant. Why not jack @$$? seems more up to date. Guess being 40 and unemployed, you come up with horse terms. They make believe storys are the best, that you actually get bothered so much by someone in a forum that you actually write and re-write a make believe fictional story about someone. What does that say about your character? Let me anwser-not much. Pretty pathetic that someone has to stoop to those level. You never seize to amaze me HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I don’t seize anything. I’m not a cop. And I don’t get upset at all. Actually, it seems your sense of humor is getting better, too, because you seem to take it much lighter now than last week. You have to admit, it’s just plain funny. That’s why I write the stories, so that people (including yourself) read them and think, “That’s pretty funny.” I’m not a comedian, and neither is anyone else here. But people make some pretty funny comments, including yourself. That’s the whole reason we’re here, because we laugh at the comments.

And I don’t need your assistant. I have one of my own, but thanks for offering. However, if your assistant is better than mine, then we can talk. But why would you want to get rid of your assistant?

itampon, Explorer is still in production. So you can sell it to grandma and see her roll slightly over. Frankly, because of all the news about financial bleeding we did not see fire and rollover stories about Ford products themselves, but I am sure it is out there waiting in the news queue.

My fascination is however how you choose to be a used car salesman? Do you need a special talent to lie to people with a straight face? Most of humans want to grow up policeman, fireman, heroes, authors, artists, scientist, even cook(pardon chef). But crooked used car salesman? How do you get married (to a woman)? Which father wants his daughter to merry a car salesman?

Please indulge my curiosity.

When did i ever say i was a used car saleman? Here we go again, didnt i tell you to read before you comment. Your the kid that goes swimming right after he eats then complains of cramps. I sell new + used car. What im not quite understanding is the bad rep a car saleman has? I make 6 figures selling car. I feel thats a respectable amount to make in one year. Maybe im wrong. See Women dont care what i do for a living, because not to be vague but im a good looking guy. See a guy like youself *Xyunya* Has to compensate for poor looks and prob penis size or something, so you have to mention what you do for a living to impress a women. See i dont have that issue, my job really has nothing to do with myself and women. HAHAHA NOW THATS FUNNY!!! You prob shouldnt set yourself up. 2 easy, try and make it more difficult next time.”Which father wants his daughter to merry a car salesman?? Are you wishing me a good day? Are you getting a salesman for christmas?? Please, as you would like to say “Indulge my curiosity” I know you fat, but lets leave the indulging out of the posts. Ya sound like a fat flamer. As me being married, honestly none of your buisness, obviously you aren’t.

ihustle, if you sell used cars, and you admitted that you do, you are a used car salesman. There are many ways to make 6 figures nowadays, perhaps least admired is yours.
As far as insults about my weight: it is under control, well under control. I used to strict regiment form my military days and just keep it up on auto pilot, thank you for your concerns. I probably outrun you in 5 km race, I probably will not outrun you in 10 km, since I don’t run that far any longer. I cant argue about my looks: I never cared for my looks; perhaps I show my age but in my days man did not care how they look, unless they were homosexuals or closet homosexuals. Good luck with family life.

I just thought of a quote by Foxworthy:

“Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”

mulletmaster needs to rethink his definition of clean air

At least your old, hopefully you die soon i dont have to read your dumb posts anymore. I do care about my looks, you beating me in any race old man is highly unlikely. I am a professional sales man. Not a used car sales man. Not a new car salesman. Professional salesman. I have a great job. See i didnt have to run away to the army because my life was going no where. I chose my profession. I was not forced into something because my life was dust.

“Professional” salesman? As opposed to an “amateur” salesman?

beatus, xyunya, you’re killing me…truth is, we shouldn’t spend so much time making fun of the ihustle salesbot. He’s got 6-figures (technically, it’s only four when two are behind a decimal point) to make not selling Crown Vics, Tauruses, Rangers, Explorers, and Expeditions. And he’s probably got to spend some time figuring out how far below sticker he’s going to have to go before anyone buys one of the dozens of F-150s gathering dust on his lot…

Yeah, ihustle’s life is going somewhere, folks…he’s got the one job you can make the most money at without needing to have graduated the 8th grade…besides hooking. At least the Army pays for college. So you’re not a used car salesman, or a new car salesman. So what do you sell? Professionals? Makes sense you work at a Ford dealership, then, with the way their sales are going…

LLN, next time please clear up WHERE those losses are from, especially if theres a major factor that creates a couple… billion dollars in losses.

beatusmongus- Where do you live? Most Focus’s aren’t owned by “young guys”. It’s a cool car and all, but most people own one as a second vehicle, whether or not your talking about Europe or America.

What I think would be awesome is if we got the body styles and structure of the Euro Focus, with the interior of the American one. The Euro interior is pretty bland looking, and that’s where the current American Ford Focus really scores in. Either way you look at it, it’s still a blue collar car that does everything pretty well.

ihustle- Fine, if your a “car salesman”, I seriously doubt anybody here could care less what you sell. Please, don’t try pushing it on us though.

And getting cramps while swimming after eating is a wives tale, btw.

Jayjc08, those weren’t my comments. They were quotes from iHustle, the robot was programmed to tell us that the Euro Focus would never sell here. Again, I honestly feel Ford made a big mistake by giving us an inferior product. Yeah, they still sell well, but I feel the Euro version would sell even more.

Inline take a look outside youll see some of those vehicles you said arent selling. So f150’s are collecting dust. Not from what i see. Do i sell GM or chryslers? My trucks are on the road obviously. hooking? hooking what. Great joke congradulations hahahaha. Are you jealous of what i make? Whats funny is i know it intimidates you. Sorry, didnt mean to make you feel like crap. Quick questiong, what brand do you support inline?????WHAT BRAND DO YOU LIKE? just so you cant ignore it. Just curious. Obviously i put my self out there for comments repping my brand that im proud of, so what brand do you like?

Hey it’s hypocritical sales bot again. What you don’t count on is some of us have good memories, I remember a post where you said you sold a used F-150. That makes you a USED CAR SALESMAN.

Second hypocrisy: You make fun of someone in this thread for joking about you selling pintos, (which they didn’t say were new, dumba$$) and not being in production anymore. You are the person who has made jokes to injunrav about selling sunbirds and bonnevilles. Funny how quickly you forget.

I told you before, you are the one you hate. And you keep proving that over and over.

And last, I haven’t been MIA, just busy. But glad to see you miss me.

“You are the person who has made jokes to injunrav about selling sunbirds and bonnevilles. Funny how quickly you forget”.
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????????????????? Do me a favor re-post it if you can find anywhere that i said i sell sunbirds and bonnevilles i will never post again. It doesnt exist.
You talk alot about me hating myself. I LOVE MYSELF!:) it always gives me a laugh when you say that. Were in a forum, no need to try to b doctor phil. I work at a prestine dealership. NO pinto’s here buddy. Any other brain busters? HAHAHA You might as well of extended the break, because no one cared it was one less dumb post i had to spend time reading.

You were saying injunrav was selling them, not you. Read before you write retard. Thats what makes you a hypocrite.

Hussie, are you for real? Seriously, are you a real person who really says the things you do, or are you just a goofball who writes this stuff for comedic value? Honestly, you must be joking with the way you write and the things you say, because only an absolute idiot would say things like: “Not a used car sales man. Not a new car salesman. Professional salesman.” Because you jump on words people write in their posts and try to attack on something that wasn’t even said just makes me wonder if you’re just ****ing with everyone, or if you really and truly didn’t pass the 8th grade. You’re doing a good job at making Ford people look bad. I make up stories, yeah, but they are made up for comedic purposes, and they are funny. I also use a lot of sarcasm, as do others here. You seem serious about your stupidity, and that makes me wonder if you are trying to be some kind of Andy Kauffman of LLN or something. If so, you are a freaking genius, albeit extremely twisted. If you’re for real, go see a doctor.

ihustle,

If you don’t know which brands I like, that tells me that my comments aren’t too biased. I’m not a fanboy. Like you. I sold cars when I was 18, at a Mazda-Hyundai dealer, and I was consistently in the top 2 salespeople at the dealer. I quit because I couldn’t stand the culture of that job. I also worked for the largest Ford dealer in the Northwest in 2005.

But just so you know, I tend to root for GM, Ford, and Chrysler. I like Honda’s smaller vehicles. I am in no way a Toyota fan. Nissan’s okay. I do like Mazda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, and Suzuki because each of them builds Japanese cars with character and soul. I’m a big Jaguar/Land Rover fan. I love Saabs, as well, and I like Volvos, but I’m less of a fan of them because they’re not as fun to drive. I don’t really like BMW outside of the Mini and the 1-Series. And I don’t like M-B very much at all. Audi’s okay, but they’re a bit too antiseptic for me. Hyundai/Kia bore me. And I can’t wait until Alfa Romeo and Fiat start selling cars here again. I’d love to see Renault, Citroen, Peugeot, Lancia, Skoda, and Seat come back to America, too.

This isn’t about brands, ihustle. It’s about you being an ignorant fanboy who says Fords are the best because they sell the best (major logical fallacy, not to mention the fact that most of them don’t), and because you’ll benefit financially from it by spreading your particular brand of idiocy. That’s almost SPAM. You spew garbage and pass it off as facts. That’s what I can’t stand. And you’re a total asshole to anyone that doesn’t agree with you. That’s why I make you my bitch on this forum.

So don’t sell cars, if you’re not a new car or used car salesman. But when Ford posts another month of down sales, I’ll say, “well, ihustle might have been of help, but he isn’t a car salesman, he’s a professional salesman.”

*Inline* You make me your bit*h?????????? I highly doubt that, what are you a computer tough guy????? Talk tuff behind your computer screen thats a real brute for ya hahahaha. You like guys being your bit*h. That turn you on? F*cking flamer .You become more and more homosexual per post. Do you fu*k guys? You like the sausage???? Why would you want a guy to be your bi*ch? Its called a gf, and you need one desperately.

*Beat* I take this site as serious as jews do jesus. I like getting responses and i do a great job of it. I will argue with every last one of yous, i love the confrontation and the shock value. I take nothing personal. I hate no one, i like ruffling the feathers. I love Ford, as you guys know, and i defend them. Thats about the extent i go.

ihustle sales bot, why do all your posts comment on others sexuality, come out of the closet already.

Wow…you know that 80% of homophobes, when exposed to gay pornography, get aroused when they see it? Did my saying I make you my bitch on these forums turn you on? Interesting that your mind took it to the next level. Is that why you’re so excited to sell F-150s? Looking for a little Brokeback action?

Sorry, pal. I don’t swing that way. Why don’t you go sell another F-150 for 10k below sticker? You’ll get the ’09s faster that way.

im not the one that wants guys as a bi**h. HAHAHA YOU SAID IT BUDDY. You dont make me look like anything. If your looking for acceptance apply for a capital 1 card. How do you figure i sell f150 below sticker? are you trying to hurt my feeling. Cause that hurt so bad. OHHH NO I HAVE TO SELL A TRUCK BELOW STICKER!!! BOOOOO HOOOO WAHHHHH WAHHHHHH Is that seriously an insult? Your probably the worst insulter ive ever encountered. At leat*BEAT* comes up with storys, alot more interesting then some fag who was me as his bit*h. ANyone can talk tuff over the computer, means nothing. COME SEE ME! Until then your just a punk as* ;).

*Monte* Did i give you permission to type? I think not. Anwser: He said he wants to make me his b*tch. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I don’t even know what to say. You are just getting dumber all the time. Oh wait, I do know…..
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO WWREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL :) :( :( ;)

That about sums it up.

Hold on a second. So this shows inteligence.
I don’t even know what to say. You are just getting dumber all the time. Oh wait, I do know…..
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO WWREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

That about sums it up.
Sums what up?????????????? WTF are you talking about. Was that joke. Looking for laughs, but everyones silent. So whos dumb???? Guess you look dumb. GO get you bf beat hes more interesting. Your like the annoying side kick hahah. The one who wants all the attention, but could never reach any level of acceptance.Hold on let me remind you

I don’t even know what to say. You are just getting dumber all the time. Oh wait, I do know…..
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO WWREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

That about sums it up.
GOOD 1 MONTE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR SO FUNNY? WHERE DO YOU DO YOU STAND UP? IF your trying to say someones dumb, you shouldnt follow it with the most childish comment of lln history.

No, you’re the one who turned what I said into a gay sex thing.

I’m obviously a pretty good insulter if you’re saying I talk tough, and if you’ve been unable to refute my points with anything but calling me gay. In your dreams, pal.

Guys, let’s stop responding to the ihustle bot. If Ford’s going to stay afloat, they need him selling loads of Rangers to fleets and advertizing F-150s under $20k in the paper.

You’re right sales bot that looks very childish. It’s to bad I got all that vocabulary from your posts and I’m sick of reading it. Once again you show me you are the one you hate. How many times are you going to bash someone for doing what you do. You make this way to easy for me.

*inline* You want to stop posting, thats why you say not to respond to me.. F150 are under 20’s if you get a base xl with a 6 cylinder. Not into homo’s. Your the one that wants guys as a bi*ch.

*Monte* HAHAHAHA WTF r u talking about. nothings easy for you because you keep posting explaining yourself you douche. I LOVE MYSELF hahah you have no idea how C*cky i am. WHo are you though? I dont have to explain anythings. Thanks for posting though, you get a A for effort. You tried. Valiant effort

I don’t know which is more gay: Being someone’s bitch, or telling everyone how much you love yourself?

Hey im honest. Im the flyest shi* since slice bread. Put it in a story, I am not ashamed. Confidence is second nature, what do you expect, im a sucessful salesman. Making good money, have a sexy gf, condo on the water. Im living the american dream

It’s still pretty funny, though.

haha i see what you mean
