Salute to Ford

Black and mean: The new Ford rs 500

This weeks blog is different than any other blogpost you have read here on cars one on one with Vincent for a few reasons and one the reasons is the fact that today I will be personal saluting what Ford motor co has managed to achieve with their concept of building one of the best cars of 2012 and that is the one and only Ford Focus rs 500.
This baby features a powerful 350 ps comes with a 2,5 litere engine and the engine is a 5 cylinder engine with 460Nm of torgue. The Ford rs 500 delivers 15% more power than your normal ford rs which gives you an exhilarating road expirience.
The secret is that the Ford rs 500 has only 500 units made that will ony be sold on European markets and that for me is bad news because my dream of owning one of these babies is slowly fading away but the good news is that this beastly machine is faster than a Porche boxter 911 which means that Ford did their homework(Read More)


Speed master: The new Ford Mustang Gt 500

  
Ford has proved to be on top of their game with this new Ford rs 500 because I personaly feel this is the second best car to be manufactured by ford motor co and obviously the first is the Ford Mustang GT500 which is still boss of the roads and now the Ford rs 500 so thats why today I say salute to this company for building a dream car and also not forgeting how Public relations practitioners will find it easy to make sure there is a high demand for this machine with their Marketing strategies and public relations functions. 

Peugeot closes manufacturing plant



The 2011 Peugeot RCZ

 Peugeot is one of the oldest car manufacturing company arround today and just like any other car manufacturing company they have had their fair share of trials and tribulations such as the decline in market share prices  by 32% last year,but this time it really seems like things have gone from bad to worse for this car manufacturing giant.
Peugeot reported in the news last week that they are going to close one of their manufacturing plants in the city of France, paris which will see aproximately 8000 jobs being lost.
My concern about all this is more focused on the workload and answers that employees of this company will ask to the public relations practitioners and how will the practitioners deal with the crisis.(Read more)



The new citroen DS3 racing

 Crisis management is a Public Relations function and needs a strategic approach when dealing with crisis of this nature and also the other main concern is how will they find balance since they are the manufactures of Peugeot and Citroen, it is sad that we public relations people need to provide answers not only to the media but also to these soon to be jobless employees and well it is also tragic that the practitioners working for peugeot have not managed to make sure their public relations functions are in line with those of their marketing and quality of their brand.
