How we can help the Falcon

[Brazen]

Warning: Lamest FordForums thread ever!

Some of us might not be in the financial position to buy a new Falcon, but I think there are little things we can do to help. Here are just some suggestions.



Post a positive article or review about the Falcon on your Facebook page. If 300 members do it and about 80 friends see the title or read the article, we have made a positive impression on 24,000 people!

Write to your member of parliament and premier in each state, insisting they buy Australian more - this could really help Falcon, Territory and Falcon ute. Make them take notice that some people see this as an issue.

When you rent a car, upsize to the Falcon or ask for a Falcon when booking. This will cause more agencies to buy Falcons or get the kms up making them change them over more often.

If you have access to a fleet or pool vehicle, always take the Falcon. Most fleets changeover vehicles at a km limit. The more km you put on the Falcon the more they need to change them over and the less they will change over the other cars.

Join the fleet committee or suggest the Falcon to fleet buyers at work. Many are not car enthusiasts and some wouldnt realise that a LPG Falcon is cheaper to run than a Prius. At my work I was instrumental in having my work decide to replace over 90 Hiluxes nationwide with LPG RTVs, which unfortunately nver materialised as Ford didnt make the RTV with the introduction of FG but still it shows the difference we can make.

Bring brohures into work, I work mainly from home but last time in the office I left FG brochures in the tea room they have been flicked through at least a few dozen times. It just helps raise awareness and even if they dont buy a car - someone they know might be.
