Advert template added edit

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I added a text-customized Advert template to this page due to the overall tone of the piece, the promotion-like structure of the article, and the inclusion of material like the following sentence: "As opposed to developing hybrid vehicles like Toyota did with the Prius, Ford of Europe took a different design philosophy: to create vehicles that are as fuel efficient as possible today, without compromising driving experience."

The "fuel efficient as possible today" piece makes no logical sense, and fails to create a clear contrast between the ECOnetic cars and hybrid vehicles, and the "compromising driving experience" is pure buzzword, devoid of information. Also, any mention of "design philosophy" should be far, far further down the article's hierarchy of subtopics. Regardless, framing the design of the car in terms of how it is different from one other kind of car (made by a rival brand) disrupts the focus of the article and is not particularly informative.

I would be happy to discuss this point further, and would be interested to know what anyone else thinks. Am I reading too much into this? YarLucebith (talk) 03:44, 9 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
