I think finding cat heads in my car would get old pretty quick... especially if there was someone else with me, try explaining THAT away.

yeah, these are pretty funny commercials.

ford definitely is completely different in europe, i don't even know what Ford USA is thinking. i mean c'mon, europe has had a billion revisions to the focus, all of which kick the US version's a$$ a million times over, especially with the RS versions. and the sport ka could be ford's answer to the japanese subcompact market in the US. but no, they will never do it. at least they are cutting production by 20% next quarter and are rethinking their strategy.
no wonder everyone except americans hate american cars.

Those are so funny but were never used.
apparently they went over like a turd in the punch bowl.

The cat one upset to many people with no sense of humor.

No one really complained about the pidgeon one though

I think it's because the cat kinda fights it....the bird just gets whacked out of the blue.....What gets me everytime is the bounce.......

And because the general public finds Cats to be "Cute" there was a comedian that has a skit about how ppl only want to save the cute animals…Bunnies, whales dolphins...this is the perfect example

I disagree. The single best thing Ford could do to keep them from filing bankrupcy would be to nix just about their entire line of cars in the states, and bring over the entire line of cars from Europe. The Ka is a great car, but even better would be the Cosworth. A line up of Ka, Focus, and Cosworth would do Ford wonders here. In fact, I'd go so far as to say they should also fire 90% (or more) of the white collars in the states, and bring over the white collars from Europe. They are like two completely different entities.

I absolutely love those commercials.

I could not agree more. When I first moved here I saw how out of touch ford are here (apart from the new mustang) No cosworth, No RS with the sweet sparco seats standard and no ST .

Not only that but ford Australia is doing the muscle thing better there too.

Bills dream is slipping away.
