Agian its a pointless comparison. Thanks to the wonders of badge enginering by both companys. The Ford Escort/Lazer Mazda 323/Famila is a classic example. Its a shit little shopping cart designed by Mazda under Ford ownership. (except the GTR, and BFMR models which are damn fast little buggers!) However they are sold all over the world with either Ford or Mazda badges. And in some countrys like here in NZ with either or. You can goto a Ford dealer and buy a new Lazer, or go next door to Mazda and buy the same car with a differnt bumber and badge. Pretty much anything with a Chevy badge on it (with the exception of the light Trucks) in the US is sold else where in the world with a Pontiac, or Holden, or Opel or Toyota badge on it. Chevy through GM is much more involved in how it brands its vechiles for differnt markets, than Ford is. A company which once its taken over another auto maker prefers to slap its own badges on thier cars. So to compare Ford with Chevy, you actualy have to compare Ford with GM. Since pretty much anywhere in the world, including the US Chevy = GM. And based on that Comparison then if Ford didn't own most of the worth while British car makers then I would have to say GM, and certianly if you look at the $$ made then its clearly GM. But Ford is doing a good job of letting Jaguar etc simply get on with doing what they do best. So despite the generally cheap and nasty hold the technology image I have of Ford models here in NZ, compared with GM products, the new Mondeo, and Mazda 6 as well as the new Jaguar XJ6 show that Ford is prehaps turning around and imbracing modern design ideas, and modern technology, and GM prehaps needs to watch its back.

Euro19-Actually no. If you are talking in the US, here it goes:
Taurus outsells Impala Mustang outsells Camaro and took it out of bussiness Explorer outsells Blazer and TrailBlazer Escape outsells Tracker Focus outsells Cavalier ZX2 outsells Cavalier Z24 Contour outsells (or did) Malibu Windstar outsells Venture Expedition outsells Tahoe, or maybe tight F-series outsells Silverado Ranger outsells S-10 Corvette outsells tuned Mustang Cobras SporTrack outsells Avalanche and so on.......... HA! Blazer and TrailBlazer outsells Explorer Tracker smokes Escape in sales Cavalier outsells Focus Cavalier Z24 outsells Zx2 Contour never did outsell Malibu Tahoe outsells Expedition Avalanche smokes SporTrack in sales Taurus outsells Impala Mustang outsells Camaro Windstar outsells Venture F-series outsells Silverado Ranger outsells S-10 Corvette outsells tuned Mustang Cobras Those I agree but I travel a lot and I see a hell of a lot more Chevys on the road than i do Fords so I dont see how you came to your conclusion about all these Fords outselling Chevys.I also read up on these things a lot.Chevy outsells Ford by a long shot.We had a 1994 Taurus and when you shut the doors on that car it sounded like two tins cans hitting and it always caused us problems.I hated that damn car.Oh and Fliquer,in case you didnt know,GM holds the record for largest automotive sales in the WORLD.That means that GM sells more cars than any car manufacturer in the world in case I confused you. Anyway,my vote definately goes to Chevy. |

and the Lotus Carlton is an Opel Omega with a Lotus enginered Suspension set up, and a Lotus enginered Twin Turbo version of the Opel 3.0L inline 6 cyclinder engine. The Opel Omega was redesigned and sold as the Holden Comodore in Australia and NZ, and was then rebadge and sold in LHD as the Chevy Lumina in the Middle East. The Holden was then Tuned by HSV to get the Clubsport Senator models etc etc etc. Holden version of the Omgea was then further reengered and sold in the US as the Chevy Caprice, and the orginal Holden design was rebadged by Toyota and sold in Japan and the US as a Toyota. The same basic GM Opel design was therefore sold all over the world with engine configerations ranging from a 2L 4cly, a 3l inline 6, a 3.8L V6, a 5L V8, and a 5.7L V8, and badged as an Opel, a Holden, an HSV, a Toyota and a Chevy and a Lotus. And of course there are Ford models like the Australian Ford Falcon, the rear suspension of which is used in many of the new Jaguar Models. Infact in the EL version of the Ausie Fairmont (upmarket Falcon) there were even trim peices shared with the Jags, and of course the New Ford Mondeo in Europe uses the same V6 engine found in the new Jags, and which next year should find its way into the Ausie Fords. Same with the new Quad Cam Ford V8.

So what about Ford Europe? Or Ford Japan? or Ford Australia? Or Chevy in the Middle East? or in Australia? or in Europe? Or how about trying to understand THAT THERE IS NO POSSIBLE DISTINCTION BETWEEN "FORD MOTOR GROUP" AND CARS WITH A FORD BADGE, JUST LIKE THERE IS NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN GM AND CARS WITH A CHEVY BADGE!
