ok i work for mazda and this really bugs me. ok perhaps you can tell me which ford vehicle is rotary powered? maybe a ford that has a 6 speed with quad cone syncros through the first 2 gears and dual through the rest... howbout double wishbone independent front suspension... ford sold mazda in 2002 and since has retained 2% stake only enough to take the mazda6 color kona blue and put it on the mustand. and yes we stopped selling the b series truck since it hurt out image. the last one left is on the chopping block and once we ditch the tribute, we will have no vehicles that share any major components with ford. but hey what do i know
