The Mercury Tracer must also be the Ford Laser, as it is a rebadged Mazda
323 - The wife still has her 1982 model.

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"? ;)
