The Ford Escape (designated U204) is a compact SUV sold by the automaker Ford Motor Company introduced in 2000 as a 2001 model year and priced below the Ford Explorer. The Escape was sold in Europe as the Ford Maverick.[1] It was jointly developed with Mazda, in which Ford owns a controlling interest, and was released simultaneously with the Mazda Tribute. In the United States, Ford's Mercury division released a luxury version called the Mariner starting with the 2005 model year.
A hybrid version of the Escape was released in 2004, making it the first hybrid SUV.
The Escape is built on the Ford CD2 platform, which is in turn based on the Mazda GF platform, which was used by the Mazda 626.
badges on cars are meaningless when it comes to country of origin.
whoever drives the grand caravan is driving a car manufactured outside the u.s. (windsor, canada) so you can add that to the list of "foreign" vehicles.
mercedes, honda, nissan, vw, and toyota vehicles are all built in the u.s.
and there's cross ownership. mazda is partially owned by ford. saab is a gm subsidiary.
that parking lot looks like a cross section of america to me.
