   Drilling down was interesting too.  Followed a link on "Badge 
Engineering", which talks about how cooperative agreements 
between automakers (e.g. Ford and Mazda) lead to some interesting 
rebranding of models for sale in selected markets.  

   I knew, from buying our daughter a car 12 years ago that the Mercury  
Tracer is actually Mazda 323; and the my Mercury Villager fleet vehicle 
was actually a Nissan Quest.  However, I found it quite interesting 
that, in the U.S., the Saab 9-2x is actually a Subaru Impreza.

   What's next?  Will I find out that the Long-EZ was actually 
"SS 0.7"?   ;)
