| Ford makes some great cars overseas. The Europeans, the Brits and the aussies all have some fine, enthusiast-grade Fords that cannot be purchased in the USA. Shame, too, but not a new phenomenon. When stationed in Spangdahlem, Germany back in the `60s, I had a Ford Taunus (not TauRus) station wagon that suited my (2-kids + wife and very junior officer) family well. | |

When Lincoln started shipping their new sedan a couple of years ago the name was , as we all know, the Zephyr. A name that conjures up in the mind, well, things that are very old and outdated. I always thought that using that name was very ill conceived and last year Ford fixed that by renaming it the MKZ. SP

Replying to: glasstop (Jul 24, 2006 3:29 pm) I wouldn't get a milan not just because it seems the ads are aimed towards women but because the styling seems to be aimed towards them as well. I've known two people who wanted milans-both women. I've known one person who wanted an mkz-a 40+ year old man, thats the car for your demographic!

Replying to: depalma (May 08, 2007 3:01 pm) Besides why should I be opposed to there being jobs in Mexico, Japan, or wherever? Those people are human being too...what is so wrong about some of them having good jobs? I did buy an "assembled with pride by UAW" Mazda6 over the Fusion/Milan, but the location of assembly and company headquarters had nothing to do with the decision.

Replying to: jeffyscott (May 09, 2007 5:06 am) I was trying to respond to some of the posters, who seem to think if they buy a car with an American name on the front, then they are buying "American". The fusion/milan is no more or less "American" than the majority of cars sold in this country. Also, this bit about the Milan being for women is just silly marketing nonsense. I happen to think the Milan is a sharp looking car. Does this make me less of a man? As i said, I buy a car based on its merits - everything else is meaningless.
