So YOur SAYING the Expedition And Navigator are different Except The Engine?? That Statement Is Wrong.. The Bodies/Frames ARE ALMOST IDentical (AND THAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE A TWIN. )

Well The Whole point Of The Article was to show you that many cars ARE the same across Brands Just With DIFFERENT..Body Panels, BADGES, INTERIOR, EVEN SPEAKERS, SUSPENTIONS, AND OPTIONS.. So YES the Expedition And The Navigator ARE TWINS..
THe MAZDA/FORD CONNECTION WAS ONLY ON THE RANGER/B SERIES Trucks. Not The Focus/MAZDA3..

people are deciding to have babies just to enjoy its german engineering
