    Ford is an American brand that sells cars in Europe. Except they don’t sell American Fords that won’t fit on small roads, or where the engine needs 20l/100km.

        There’s an F150 driving around my area, the stupid sumbitch can’t park it anywhere, not even in front of his own garage, so he’s usually parked on the sidewalk. But at least he has compensated for his tiny self esteem I guess.

            They don’t, of course. Their best selling cars in Germany are the Focus, the Kuga and the Puma, none of which exceeds 4.45m of length.

            EDIT: Just noticed - they don’t even sell any of those in the US, probably all too small.

              One of the few new Ameircan Fords you’ll sometimes see on the roads in Europe is the electric Mustang. It’s kinda hilariously out of place - next to smaller European cars it looks more like they attempted to design a monster truck than a sports car.

      The company is called For of Europe and they have pretty much everything in Europe these days. For example the Ford Focus was developed in Europe. So it really is just the brand. Everything else is pretty much European.
