Ignorance is bliss.
Holden takes twice as much, does nothing of note(unless you think the lpg commadore rehash of ancient tech great)....yet ford uses there's to do ECOBOOST/diesel terri and ecolpi.
And ford did advertise them....just not the way it's always been done. Internet has taken over print media and is booming compared with TV rights. Ford used many advertising campaigns for these models.......despite having a VERY small advertising budget I think that's at least a fair go.
So yes building WORLDCLASS Eco cars in AUSTRALIA is very responsible. And the govco had every chance to use the ford Eco products, it was a very simple "guideline" that was missed.....yet it was still it ok to then go and buy worse suburus and hiluxs
So rereading your post I find you are extremely uneducated on this whole subject. Feel free to research the facts.....
