Default Ford KUGA

Hi all...

New TM applied for by Fo Mo Co is the name/model:

KUGA

TM 1169897

Incase you didn't catch my last post, they recently also applied for "ISIS"

Hopefully with names like these, they will be little people mover style cars destined only for europe.

KUGA ?

Maybe a payback to Toyota on the Kluger !!

Seeing Aurion is very close the 2008 'Orion' Falcon. Lol.

judging by the name, I predict it will be a minivan or a Mini SUV type piece of blando too.

edit- either that or a Bogan spec. Cougar. hahaha.

Yes I thought it sound like a bogan edition of the Cougar too. Fortunately for us, the Cougar is dead.

"Kuga"?
Obviously the person who invented the name "Ka" still has his job at Ford
