Listen to this, which is great:
I have an acquaintance who bought a few months ago the new Ford Fiesta
, that copy of
absurd Honda that sells Fit American car plant world's most famous.
turns out that the guy bought the car in a rather unpleasant color, some say it is pink, others say it's magenta, others say it looks like a giant metallic placenta. I do not know. What I do know is that color is the most ridiculous of the world at the time of choosing for the means of transport that will accompany you for at least 5 years, but hey, the man also has more than 10 years a Ford Courier
color eggplant, and over the Courier looks like an eggplant, so the hit. When walking in the Courier looks like a cartoon animation. Did you see that SpongeBob runs a hamburger? Well, this guy seems to handle a giant eggplant.
Well, he bought the Fiesta
and was very happy and showed it to me and I got in the cockpit and I was surprised by the brazenness with which Ford
copied to the design of the wheel of the Honda Fit
amazingly. It came just the same. With a board
sophisticated enough to be a Fiesta
if one remembers the previous model, I was shocked with all the bells and whistles and bullshit that comes as standard: air-bags everywhere, mp3 and commands to the steering wheel, power sunroof, electric mirrors, what do I know ... It seems a car a few more steps above what it really is, because although it is a shameless copy of the Japanese car, it is clear that Lucas is worth about 15 less.
Then the guy went the first week trying to understand the workings of the board of their new car, something almost impossible in a 60-year-nosed, took me quite understand some things that I tried to explain and there were others who not only understand them but I decided not to go beyond button-pressing to fart. Are very difficult to use "comfort
" the board. Change radio to MP3 or MP3 to CD, radio or CD is an impossible task I do not think that young linings surpass us with the knowledge of technology know how to find the back.
Beyond that the man decided, at least for the first few weeks and until we hold hands, listen to radio only, and not break anything. And was terribly happy with her new little car pink or magenta, or smelling placenta color again.
One day he went to the garage, in the early morning to go to work day and the car is not ripped. He tried several times but nothing.
completely dead (Yes, do not put that face, not ripped. Posta) . Left the building and took a taxi to reach his office called the dealership to identify the problem and the company had sent immediately a crane with a mechanic to solve the intricacies. They took the car and returned it to the afternoon with the flaw fixed. The man asked what was the problem but the mechanics could not answer, pointing out that the use and watch, they did not know if it had been resolved.
The man continued to use the car and on Sunday night he went to eat at the club where he is a partner, and when he wanted to go home the car would not start. And it was Sunday night, so the Fiesta
new color 0 Km placenta slept in the open until Monday. The man called at half past 7 in the morning to the dealership to notice the problem. The dealer sent a tow truck and a mechanic, but this time it did not take take the workshop. When the mechanic tried you start, the party starts without hesitation and that putting face of uncertainty, got out and told the owner to control who does not know what the problem might be having.
And the weeks passed and the Party two of three would not start and came with the crane and mechanics until the day came for the holidays. The car owner had to go to Posadas, cataracts, and had planned to do with his brand new Ford Fiesta
bloody clot color of makeup, but now he felt a thick stick in the rough ass ... How do you go to a travel-size car will not start two of three and no one knows why?
So I went to the dealership and explained his dilemma to the foreman, who was very understanding and told him they do not know what the problem is the new Ford Fiesta, but that 4 out of 10 that sell have this flaw. That being a "
new electric start system designed exclusively for this model " are not yet sure what happens, but he settles down, he too was leaving that day Holiday that until it is solved the problem is not going to go home ... that if necessary he would draw ignition system to another party and would place his own.
The man asked what safeguards had that "
electrical system unique and innovative design" that would place the other party is not one of the 4 in 10 who do not work and the foreman told him could not have such bad luck, stay calm ...
Then the man went to Posadas driving cautiously and maddening baseball bat in self tujes and never failed. It is seen that the "
electrical system unique and innovative design" which took him to that other party was from 6 to 10 who do work.
And time passed and one day I was discussing with a group of middle-aged women on new models of cars that were leaving and one of them, which I saw only a couple of times, said he had to change the car that she liked the FIT, but that was too expensive, and this week had seen the new Fiesta and had fallen completely in love, it was ideal for her because she is single, and that whatever his critics the car behind is too young
(very true) she did not fuck for nothing, because she is single.
Then, as if I witness something wrong I like to discuss at least among my acquaintances for others do not step on the stick or do not suffer the scourges free capitalist corporations that rule the world we inflict, I warned to be careful and if they decided to buy this model, ask before, because a friend bought one and had problems because "
4 out of 10 have fails to run. " To which I replied, with dreamy eyes:
Oh, but it's so cute! Tell her your friend to congratulate him. I insisted, perplexed, pointing out that a multinational like Ford could not releasing a model with a failure so rude and look for another car, because the same people the dealer had alerted him to "
4 10- ", but the woman, with eyes of love and hands curled in his chest he continued, rapt
" Oh, but it's so cute! "Tell her your friend to congratulate him! Then
means freaked me a little because there are things that drive me crazy and I said, and his voice a little thicker and modulating the words right, if I had heard what he had said. And she, without looking at me and staring at the horizon, completely gone and in love, he repeated:
Oh, yes, but it's so cute!, Tell your friend to congratulate him. And I left the meeting. I left. Because I started feeling wrong. I think I had palpitations.
Question:
Whose fault is it that Ford sells a car model that has failed the factory? Ford did
or that knowing the problem and go buy it because it's so cute when complimented with great animosity to those who already bought it? So we
. And let us not complain.
