The title says it all really, why do car companies make a model of car for one country, and a different model with the same name for another country? I don't think Wikipedia has any answers
Yes but why do they make the body shape different like European Focus versus American Focus?
I have long said that the Euro Focus and Mondeo should go to the US with a Mercury badge. Might help revive the name, and the extra money you could ask with that badge might mean selling the Euro Focus/Mondeo in the States would be profitable. (How does Mercury Mondeo sound?)
Because Americans won't pay more than 7000 pounds for one

What really pisses me off is when car companies cancel particular lines because they compete too much with an existing line. I can't think of any particular examples right now (it's way too early in the morning), but basically when x car is cancelled because it's supposedly too similar to y.
More like 6000 quid. I saw a Focus the other day advertised for around $12,000 USD.
The Mercury Cougar of around 2001-ish. I'm really hoping the new Fiesta does well here so it'll encourage Ford to bring over more European models. The Australian ones are pretty cool as well.They did bring the mondeo to the US market, but called it something else (I think it was a mercury)

That argument always makes me laugh. It's simple really, no one spends any money on small cars here because all the small cars we get here suck :lol:. Well, 93% of them do at least.Because Americans won't pay more than 7000 pounds for one
