i get heaps of $hit from my older brother and his friend. See i want an mazda rx3 and i like holdens and they say that ford owns/owned mazda and they give me heaps and say im a ford boy :evil: is that true about ford owning mazda or did they once upon a time own it or something???

I know they shared a few cars, but thats about it I think.

Ford = Mazda = Ford All the big companies own parts of each other. Its a way of using knowledge from other companies without stealing it, or paying huge dollars for it, sharing is caring

does it matter? if you like rx3's then buy one. does the fact that some other cmopany owns part of the company that makes that car really matter? does that change its appearance/performance/characteristics/anything? if they give you **** tell him you caught him wanking or something Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: they say that ford owns/owned mazda and they give me heaps and say im a ford boy And what's wrong with that may I ask? Just buy ur RX3 and rape their Holdens... easiest solution I can think of. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

if you can get it started... :mrgreen:

just get a bloody rx3, nice car and they have the mazda motors so they r fairly strong. ford and mazda were giving parts to each other in the late 70's or early 80's but that was about it. its a bit like i spose how holden and toyota made the toyota lexcen, it didnt mean they were owned by holden. at least ure going for a call with a little bit of balls. jezz

yeh thanks for all ur info i cant wait till i get it and i hope i kick thier ass that would b awesome Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I spose you could say its a little like Holden and Toyota... Toyota Lexcen = Holden Commodore Holden Nova = Toyota Corolla Holden Apollo = Toyota Camry Same as ... Mazda 323 - Ford Laser

Ford Maverick = Nissan Patrol Ford Courier = Madza Bravo (always has, and still is) there are heaps!

Exactly yeah.... the list could go on foever.

hehehe saw one of them old, old camrys (real early 90s) with a massive HOLDEN sticker across the top of the windscreen on the way to work what a nobhead Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Toyota Camry = Holden Apollo Toyota Corolla = Holden Nova

Toyota Lexcen = Holden Commodore 8O

Holden Astra = Nissan Pulsar Honda Integra = Rover Vitesse(sp)

That second one is true, my aunty has one. As for the astra... really?

nissan even had a falcon ute ,xf I think 8)

yep they did!

Ford telstar = mazda 626 = mazda mx6 = ford probe My88vl = dodgey driver Everycar = copied in korea Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

suzuki sierra = Holden Drover as far as I'm concerned (you can quote me on this, rob ) a car is a car by whoever manufactures it. If Toyota make a car and Holden put their badges on it, it's still a Toyota. If you put mitsubishi badges on ur VLs, would it make em less holden? No. Yeh I know holden sell the toyotas but still...
