Ford Fiesta Movement in the Blogosphere this Week

The Fiesta Movement was back this week.  The past two weeks were abysmal–little content, no content, horrible content–you name it, the blogosphere experienced it the past two weeks.  We are happy and pleased to say that the blogosphere came back with some strong posts about the 2011 Ford Fiesta.  From hip-hop events to an emotional goodbye letter, this week’s Ford Fiesta movement recap had it all.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!

The Valley PR blog begins this week’s recap.  They were proud, as most passionate city supporters are, of natives being seen on the national stage in a positive light, let alone the world wide web.  The folks in Phoenix are no exception.  Charlotte Shaff at the Valley PR wrote a brief bio, congratulatory note and status update of Phoenix natives, Austin Baker and Sunny Thaper, aka Team Phoenix.  If you are reading this in Tempe, stop by the Cartel Coffee Lab tonight.  Team Phoenix will be celebrating completion of their first mission starting at 7pm.

The completion of Team Phoenix’s first mission unveils a mural created by Jeremie Lederman, aka the Big Red Ape.  Jeremie was a bit put-off by his friends asking for his help with completion of their first mission at the last minute.  But, Jeremie definitely stepped in and helped his friends complete mission one with style.  Here are some images of the completed project.  Way to go, Jeremie!

Creative Casualties was commissioned with creating the videos for Team San Diego.  Their first video release for the team, aka The Finished Product, is quite impressive.  Team San Diego traveled throughout parts of San Diego on a scavenger hunt.  This scavenger hunt is a great visibility event for the 2011 Ford Fiesta and just a plain, good-old fashioned time for the members of Team San Diego.

Team Miami released the second Ford Fiesta video this week.  A quick improvisation of the classic movie Carface, aka Scarface.  There are quite a few Little Havana and South Beath locations viewed in this video.  See how many you can find.

We end this week with M.G. Buehrlen’s fond fairwell to her 2011 Ford Fiesta.  M.G. will return her Fiesta to Ford at the end of April.  M.G. was so upset with this upcoming event that she started listing the fun and memorable times she had with her 2011 Fiesta.  Definitely a fun list of bright days she shared with her vehicle.

See you next week!

Marc & Harriet Feigenblatt: Greg Kien Sales Testimonial

We purchased a 2010 Fusion Hybrid.  We had done a great deal of independent research before ever entering a dealership, so we had complete knowledge of the model and options we wanted.  We’ve never purchased a Ford of any kind before primarily because our research indicated that until recently, Ford products were inferior to those of other manufacturers.  Regarding the ranking of vehicle attributes, we place safety above all else, followed by reliability/durability and then by the balance of features which would include gas mileage, performance and options.  Aesthetics would be last, but a tie breaker among equals.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, we would like to offer the following testimonial regarding the sale with specific kudos to Greg Kien.

In the thirty years that we have been married, the Ford Fusion Hybrid is our ninth new automobile and our first Ford.  It was, by far, the best experience we’ve ever had when purchasing a new vehicle and we give credit to Greg Kien, our contact at Beechmont Ford.  He listened to us intently when we told him of our needs and concerns and always responded in a positive and helpful manner.  He recognized that we were educated consumers and treated us as such.  He took the time to make certain that all of our questions were answered in a clear and concise way.  He went above and beyond, even after the sales was complete.  He made the entire process not only easy, but very pleasant.

When we first stepped into Greg’s office, it was apparent that he was very knowledgeable and we appreciated his no-pressure attitude.  Although the Fusion Hybrid was a high-demand vehicle, he offered us an exceptionally competitive price and did not pressure us into purchasing any additional services or products.

Because we were uncertain about a particular exterior color, he searched for a dealership in the area that had the exact model and color in the lot so that we could view it in person rather than in a booklet.  When he discovered that no area dealerships had one, he worked with us to find one in Louisville, Kentucky, because he knew that we were traveling through that city the following week.  He had already made the sale — it would have been easy for him to just point to the colors in the Ford brochure and let us decide from that.

When we picked up our new Fusion, Greg spent a lot of time in the vehicle with us, demonstrating various features and controls.  Since this model has an extraordinary number of high-tech and complex systems, we were very appreciative that he went over them before we had a chance to read the manuals.  Within minutes of arriving home from the dealership, we even received a phone call from him asking us how our first trip in our new car went!

If we hear of anyone (friend, family, acquaintance) who is interested in purchasing a new vehicle, we will definitely send them to Beechmont Ford and especially Greg Kien.  We are always very careful about whom we recommend to others and we know for certain that anyone we refer will also find it to be their best new car sales experience.
