They were More involved a few years ago and have since sold off some of there share of the company.

But I'm sure theres still some Ford design in current mazda vehicles.
Likely more the other way around ;)

You do realize Ford bailed out mazda in the late 60's early 70's right? Mazda worked with ford to develop some vehicles...the Mazda versions usually failed while the Ford ones stayed (The Exploere, Navajo...B Series, Ranger...And the Ford Probe and Mazda 6 were essentially the same car just diff styles)

Mazda has since recovered but Ford had there hand in them for awhile

Funny that you should say that, because both the Tribute and 6 are still around and fairly popular.

The tribute is just a rebadged Escape.

Or the Escape is just a rebadged Tribute. That was my point.

If it was a foot longer in the back and was made by Toyota, Honda, of Mazda, I would certainly buy one.


That transit is a nifty little vehicle

Yup, it would make a great base for my track photography, if I bolted a folding bench to the wall. Unfortunately the stated length of the box, with the back seats removed, is *exactly* the published LOA for my bike so odds are it won't fit.
