Yes, that would be kick ***.

And unlike the idiotic commercials the proper way to pronounce it is not "Taurus "Show" ", its "Taurus "Ess-Aach-O"...

Well I always pronounced it as sho seeing as my nick name was always Sho Shinjo. Corny yes but it's what I went by. Also known as Shoshi. Short for Sho Shinjo :P

Congratulations on your purhcase! I don't think anybody will hate you for not buying a ford - as one other poster said Ford has a share in Mazda (not a majority share anymore though - they sold a lot of it off to raise some cash before the meltdown). In fact the ford fusion is the same chassis as the mazda6.

I like the car - the only thing that bugs me is having a 160mph speedo - I know some people are going to soup up their cars and stuff but it just bugs me because at highway speeds the needle is barely past a third of the gauge.

They had a 51% share in Mazda but now they only have a 34% share. Still more than anyone else though and still a controlling share.

Ford basically owns Mazda. It would be like saying the Ford family doesnt own Ford because they only own 20% of the shares...
