Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / November 2006Why do almost all cars end with an "A" ?
Why do so many car names end with an "A" ? Impala Sonoma Toyota Honda Mazda And many more..... >Why do so many car names end with an "A" ? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >And many more..... It's called "marketing." > Why do so many car names end with an "A" ? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > And many more..... Maybe you have dicovered Ford marketing problem. None of their current models end in "a" - Focus Freestyle Five Hunred Fusion F-150 Econoline Ranger So, if ending in "a" is important, Ford should rename the vehicles to: Foca Freestyla Five Hundra Fusa F-150a Econolina Ranga (heck, some people already say it this was).

She sorta makes me want to buy one, but I think I'll drive the Fords until I can afford the Lincoln. Next time you are looking to buy a Ford car you might want to take a look at a Mercury equivalent, if there is one one. The GM for instance can be had for less than a comparably equipped CV, except in base form. Same is true of the Fusion/ Milan when one look at the top of the line models. ;) mike >> Ford on the other hand make their vehicles for men and want everyone to >> know it.

I always like the CV better. Of course, i would never turn a marauder down :) I have YET to drive one. You driven one mike ? The Probe being a prime example. ;) mike >> > Why do so many car names end with an "A" ? >> > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Bob |
