Hmmm, you had me thinking for a minute but a quick Google reveals this........

45 product actions in 5 years......whatever the heck a *product action* is? [)]

Product action - sounds like somthing to do with replacing a trim part on a car then calling it a new model [].
Mind you the last "product action" was probably the "new" model Mondeo, which looks from most angles like the old Renault Laguna [}:)] - nice bit of product action that [:p]


It's not a job,it's an adventure !!

Thanks, Stan, & John

That means we'll have to endure the remaining dog & pony shows for the rest of this 5 year sentence. Though manufacturers can't really promote their products by emphasising 'ponies' any more. f**d are one of the worse ones at the moment for showing l/hand drive vehicles in ads; to me that says "we're not motivated/haven't the time to make the ad with a u.k. spec car". Those billboards for new mondo with the feller climbing up to have a look; i think he was checking if it was left or r/hand drive.

There's a new mondo in my locality. The front reminds me of some gran tourer, which i can't recall just now. It's a light colour, and my eye's caught by the dog-leg join between the rear wing and rear bumper. Looks clumsy to me.

What's fmc's thinking here? At first i thought it was their paintshop schedule, i.e. routinely getting 45 bodyshells painted every 5 minutes. But that probably occurs already.
