bingo! and the ford courier was made by mazda. the dodge D50 was built
by mitsubishi.

now, the tables are turned, and the mazda, isuzu, and mitsu trucks are
now rebadged AMERICAN vehicles! what a crazy flip-flop.

toyota and nissan still make their own "small" trucks, but small is a
relative term now.

That's probably why I bought a Ford "Festiva" (a Mazda/Kia/Ford
venture) and before that a Ford "Fiesta" (the US one that was here from
77-81 I believe, not sure what that was actually...thought it might be
an Audi though); I knew they weren't really Fords. I do think a
company should think long and hard before they put their name on a
product they don't produce; it could lessen the value of that brand if
they put the name on anything and everything (Sunbeam...are you
listening...you don't make wooden spoons!).
