Is this just coincidental or do Ford try to name most of the vehicles with an F?
Fairlane, Futura, Fiesta, Festiva, Focus, Falcon, F100, Fairmont...

Its gone on too long and with too many models to be a coincidence.

It's only ford Australia. Look to the rest of the world and there is basically nothing starting with a F that I can think of.
Maybe they think were slow or something. |

Futura, Fairmont and Fairlane are still historical US names as well and do point to the underlying trend |

Yea your both right. Matter of fact I'd say there would have been a time when the falcon was released in the us then everything would have had started with a F.
 Now I have something to research at work tomorrow. |
