Whats the point? Jill Wanger makes for good eye candy for guys and wears nice shoes that women like....let Mercury bring in women customers.

Sorry but I have yet to see a ford commercial with a female face. Maybe I'm too sheltered.

How is a spokesperson for Mercury going to bring customers for Ford. They are different markets and don't even share showrooms.

Keep Mercury for the softer feminine females and Ford can be the division for the "tom boy" harder females. Jill Wagner is doing fine for Mercury and keep that marketing approach going. Mercury just needs more product.

I would like to see two faces for Ford. I would like a female face for the midsize to fullsize cars. Though i think a man should represent the Mustang, compacts(we need to try to do away with the chick car stereotype for small cars), and trucks.
Then i think that the Crossovers should be shared by the man and woman.

Anybody remember the 1955/1956 Dodge "La Femme". It had two-tone pink and white paint with all kinds of feminine accessories? A similar vehicle today would probably be considered some form of insult.

If Ford has a female spokesperson, I don't think she should be like Mike Rowe.

Geez... I was thinking more along the line of Ashley Force, or Melanie Troxel. Now that would sell some Mustangs!

Not to sound sexist...but Ford is doing well with "spot spokespersons" for differing vehicles in the Ford line up. I remember an ad from a few years back, the girl was in her Fusion, and she paid for the order of the guy in the Mustang behind her in the drive through lane.

...oh and Jill Wagoner needs to stay with the Mercury campaign....just give her some cars to pitch!
