    Don't forget T-Roc

    Your guess is as good as mine with these new naming conventions.

    Haha parang ok naman ata? Off-roady sounding places to go to. I suppose that started with Everest and they're just continuing the theme.

    Makulit the F150 is called the "Lobo" in Mexico.

    "no va." "it doesn't run." in spanish-speaking markets.

    "the wanker!"
    heh heh.
    fortunately, not too many owners here know... or care!

    the ford edsel was named after the old man's son, and was supposed to epitome everything good about the company.
    alas, for some un-explainable whim of the motoring public back then, the car was superbly pummelled, and was discontinued after only two years.
    fortunately, a segment of the the fickle public is now into elevating the car's status to stardom.
    but the front grille still reminds me of a... woman's netherlands... heh heh.

    Ford usually use E for crossovers and SUVs (Escape, Explorer, Edge, Everest, Expedition) while using F for cars (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion).

    F is also not limited to cars, also on their full size trucks

    F150, F250, F350, F450, F550, F650, F750..

    Except the Ranger which of course starts with an R.

    and the upcoming Maverick (a pickup smaller than the Ranger)

    Speaking of the F150, higher end variants are sold as the Lobo in Mexico apparently.
