After my Mustang for Men (2) post something interesting happened, and quite frankly something I didn’t expect at all.

FordDirect has already sold over 1 million cars over the internet, that was the headline on resultblog (dutch) last week. Looking at the news more in detail it becomes clear that it’s not about 100% online sales, but it’s still remains an interesting phenomenon. I’m pretty sure that back in 2000 when Ford and the [...]
