Default Ford Australia Website

Just a question

Why is the Ford Australia website still promoting teh FG MkII series and an old territory?

Whats the point?

http://www.ford.com.au/cars/falcon
http://www.ford.com.au/suv/territory

i thought it was general practice that as soon as you had a superseding model, you would no longer make or advise the vehicle on the webiste.

(On a side note; the Ford website desperately needs some updating! Looks like they've done some modifications to the home page to make it mobile friendly but apart from that it hasn't changed much over the years.)

It's something they really need to lift their game on.

An Amateur effort which will result in amateur sale results for a "sales company" (which is what they are saying they will be).

They need to be cutting edge, NOT high school !

Maybe there are Dealers out there with new FG II cars in stock that need to be sold.

Maybe the Dealers and Ford could do with exposure on what could be sales on cars that are new and 7 to 12 months old.

Maybe they consider what they publish on a website.

This.

There are some, not many, but some, lying around out there and they leave the spec up there because people research the net for info before purchase.

This isn't the first time they have done it. I think it's smart.

To be fair, the FG X is on there too:

Strange, though. I cannot imagine them having the XE still on there when the XF came out, for example.
