WE ARE COMPARING FORD AND CHEVY.IN THIS CASE WHEN WE SAY FORD,WE ARE NOT INCLUDING THE OTHER MAKES THAT FORD MAKES.WE ARE INCLUDING FORD AND JUST FORD BECAUSE YOU SEE,YOUR FAVORITE FORD YOU SAID WAS A JAGUAR.NOW THATS OK BUT IN THIS THREAD WE A NOT INCLUDING JAGUAR.JUST FORD.
ARE YOU GETINNG IT YET.MAYBE NOT.YOUR CHOICES IN THIS CASE ARE EITHER TAURUS,MUSTANG,PROBE,ESCORT,EXCURSION,EXPEDITION,E XPLORER,WINDSTAR,F-SERIES, AND WHAT EVER CARS THEY HAVE MADE IN THE PAST,OR FORD EUROPE,JAPAN AND OTHER COUNTRY THAT MAKE FORD CARS.NOT JAGUAR OR VOLVO OR OTHER CAR COMPANY OWNED BY FORD.
WITH CHEVY YOUR CHOICES ARE CHEVY VEHICLES,NOT INCLUDING GEO.
NOW I SURE AS HELL HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY NOW.



Ok then:


I think what you really need to say is:
Compare cars sold in US market with a Ford badge, with cars sold on the US market with a Chevy badge.
Becasue its the only place in the world where a distinction is falsely made between Ford badged cars and Ford motor group, and Chevy badged cars, and GM.
It's all part of the Marketing stratergys of both companys, and is done to attract the less educated and culturaly ignorant buyer that seems to inhabbit certian parts of the US.
The rest of the US car buying population is however aware of the lack of distinction (see posts further back in the thread for examples) and simply dosnt care.

So on the dark side of the moon where ever the hell that is a Ford Taurus,well,what you people have over there,can also be considered a Jaguar?Because apparently that is what you are saying,there is no difference between a Jaguar and a Ford Taurus.Hmm,thats pretty funny.Though Ford owns Jaguar,there is a HUGE difference between the two.Taurus is a econo box,a Jag is not.Jag is a luxery car,Taurus is not.And in this particular thread,we are separating the two makes of vehicles.We are not talking about Jaguar.What is your favorite Ford car Moppie?

We don't have cars on the dark side of the moon. Only moon buggys. :finger:


You are completly failing to understand what Im saying.
But if you want to make a distinction between cars with a Ford badge, and cars made by Ford Motor group you are quite welcome to.
However it is wrong to do so, and a full explanation of why exists with in this thread.

Aha! You are one of the Smart ones!
You have made a distinction between cars that carry the badge, and cars made by the manufactor.

In which case I have never honestly been a big fan of Fords, but my Favorite would have to be one of the Special edition MK1 or MK2 Escorts.
Either the Mexico, or Lotus, or RS1600 or RS2000. All great fun little cars, and in the 60s and 70s the equivlant of my Civic.

My Favorite Chevy would have to be the Corvette. Any year, and any model. The best Bristish infulenced Chassis with a great thumping American V8.

Reread all the posts for the last 4 pages, what your were asking was something quite different.

Your right the Stang has out-sold the F-bodys combined, but if you look at the numbers, the base models (V6 for the SN95 bodys and 4 cylinder for the Foxes) have been the big sellers, while more V8 F-body have been sold than the V8 Stang, and over half of Mustang sales are to Women. Just thought I'd add that.

Yea the Focus is a good car to use, it's only the most recalled car in history. If the wheels don's fall off it will blow up!!!

Ford outsells GM in the world market. Ford makes a decent rally car. Ford makes decent small cars. Ford has SVT and Cosworth (well, they made cosworth, tho they may not have it anymore). Ford has history too.

Chevy has the Z06, thats all.
Acually GM outsells every other car maker in the world, they also have the most brands. SVT has only made one car that is worth anything and it is the 03 Cobra, and for a S/C'ed 4.6 Cobra motor those numbers a weak. Everyone thinks the Cobra is an ass fast car, but sadly it's not. Unless it's on '03.
