    Probably a Ford Maverick.......when Ford uses Nissan Patrol's and pay's for the priviledge of sticking their badge on it :-)

    It would be one of a kind. I was lucky my old mav didn't have any ford badges on it. It didn't even have nissan badges, it must have been confused and lost its identity.
    They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

    And if you go to a ford dealership for parts they tell you to go to a nissan dealership.
    When i had one, my toyota owning mate's would say" bloody nissan", i would say"its not a nissan its a ford".
    Then they would say "Bloody fords",My comment then"well it's not really a ford more a nissan".
    Would win that argument everytime.
