Maybe you have dicovered Ford marketing problem. None of their current models end in "a" - Focus Freestyle Five Hunred Fusion F-150 Econoline Ranger So, if ending in "a" is important, Ford should rename the vehicles to: Foca Freestyla Five Hundra Fusa F-150a Econolina Ranga (heck, some people already say it this was). -- Regards, Ed White http://home.mindspring.com/~ed_white/ - my automotive opinions http://home.mindspring.com/~ed_white/id7.html - my oil filter comparison >> Stay informed about: Why do almost all cars end with an "A" ?

Next time you are looking to buy a Ford car you might want to take a look at a Mercury equivalent, if there is one one. The GM for instance can be had for less than a comparably equipped CV, except in base form. Same is true of the Fusion/ Milan when one look at the top of the line models. mike <sleepdog DeleteThis @optonline.net> wrote in message news:1163653418.815737.52010@k70g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... >> > >> Ford on the other hand make their vehicles for men and want everyone to >> know it. >> >> Bob > > Then the Mercurys must be for the women, given their chosen > spokesmodel.
