car choices here?

What are the car choices here?

thanks!

 

UCB is Built Ford Tough!

 

Ford escape

 

Fusion Hybrid
Escape
Taurus Ecoboost
C-Max

 

Escape = death trap. poor rating on front offset crash testing. be careful on the highway in that little thing.

 

what the hell, are you trying to get a contract through wheels?

 

I'm not sure what you mean. I am a rep who is concerned that that my new car is not as safe as my old car. My old Equinox got the highest crash test rating. The Escape did not. Not sure why a company like UCB would choose mileage over safety for its reps.

 

Same reason they want us driving dirty cars. Money money money

 

Do we get to choose the color of the escape? I like the very silver one but if I have to, I would also take a red one. I hope I don't get a green or beige one cause those are my two worst colors. Do we get leather interior? If we do do we get to pick the color? I want to pick a light exterior and a dark leather interior. I think that would look sharp. Does any of you have one like that? If you do, maybe you could send me a picture so I can see if I like it before I order it. I'd hate to get it then not like the way it looks. If I don't like the way it looks can I exchange it for a cooler looking one?

 

i don't have a great sense of smell but I hear pretty good.

 

OK Rainman....good luck with your color selection.

 

Appears the new and better choices will be from within:

Ford: Escape, Taurus, Fusion Hybrid, CMax

Subaru: Outback, Legacy

Volvo: C60/V60

I'd bet the Outback will be the new hotness.

 

Do the managers have the opportunity to get the next level vehicle?

 

Funny you ask.

Wheels and UCB just completed a fleet Utilization review and determined that field sales management did not drive enough Business related miles on the annual basis to warrant the cost, overall expense and liability of company sponsored vehicles.

This review also benchmarked industry trends with Pfizer, Merck, Lilly and others decommissioning field sales managers company sponsored car programs.

Fleet will begin the process of withdrawing field management cars in January 2018 With an anticipated savings to the company of $4.6 million. There will be no planned compensation for managers losing their company vehicles.

 

Have never understood why people want to know what kind of car and colors available - when you should be thankful to have a job - because the alternative choice is not one I would welcome - these are great jobs with great benefits - if anyone thinks otherwise - try the alternative , you then may have a different outlook!

 

Very true. Last post tells it spot on. Be grateful

 

When will us Managers hear of this? Can we buy our current car?
