Ford has history. All of these models have international recognition as being a FORD:
Model T
GT40
Escort RS200
Mustang (all generations)
RS200 (GpB)
Sierra Cosworth RS500
Ford has visions in realising future developments, and as such bought out among 2 of the worlds most evolving brands
Volvo - world renound for safety
Mazda - should be world renowned as the rebel of the motoring world, and the only company who is still making a mass produced version of the rotary engine - something other companies are completely ignoring, yet it does have many advantages over piston engines
Now, over to Holden. Oh thats right, they were bought out by GM. Pontiac, Opel, Vauxhall, Holden, same cars, different brands - GM can't even make up their minds what to call their own brand, let alone try and be creative in their engine building - at least Ford have the guts to say that they can't build a performance engine, and get Cosworth or Tickford to build one for them. Remember the Pontiac Le Mans, thats right, the Open Cadet ... Now the Monaro is rebadged in USA as a Pontiac!!!
Don't tell anyone, but I bought a Corolla so I could beat some Hondas on TvH days
