| It's kinda funny actually. Ford basicaly admitted that they don't know how to build a car and took designs from Mazda. the very successful Ford Fusion/ Mercury Milan are built on the Mazda 6 platform. The new Ford Edge is built on the Mazda CX-7. The Escape is the Mazda Tribute I think? The Mustang is thier own design but it's the most dated design in thier lineup, and I think the Focus is thier own design but I am not sure. | ||||

Also, the trucks and large SUV's are still of their making, but I'm sure the sales of those are down with $3/gallon gas.
