I thought "Have You Driven A Ford Lately?" was just for America

[briantw1]

@kernals12 Initially, the Ford Lately was released in America in 1986, but was global by 1991. The Lately was a disappointing precursor the the more popular Fiesta, leading some to refer to the Ford Lately as the 80's Edsel.

@briantw1 but this ad was made in '84

[briantw1]

@kernals12 I was just kidding. :) "Have you driven a Ford Lately? No, but I've driven a Ford Sierra!"

@briantw1 that's not really funny

[briantw1]

@kernals12 Considering you totally didn't get it, I'm not surprised you think that. Blank stare.

@streesmut70 Yeah must be. We never got he XR6 in the UK, despite the narrator being English.

@briantw1 I got it, and thought it was funny :-)

This would've been perfect for the US.

[Hot80s]
