So I finally broke down and bought a new car and since I'm bored you guys get to try and guess what I bought. You can ask questions and I will answer.
Q: Is it a Merkur?
A: No.

We're all busy working on-- or driving-- our Merkurs.
OK, I'll bite: Is it FWD or RWD?

Hmmm...
Owned by ford but not a ford.
Not euro/Not domestic.
2 doors.
Non FWD.
Based on the above, I would think it would be some kind of a Mazda?
