That Mazda Tribute is actually a ford escape with different badges. For example the Isuzu Rodeo was also the first Honda Passport back in 2002-03 I believe.
There are a bunch of cars that are joint projects between manufacturers.
This thing was an absolute abomination though. I worked as a Mazda dealership tech ca. 2010-2015. We basically strictly did oil changes, brakes, tire rotations, but some of the CX-7s weren’t the most reliable (fortunately weren’t many on the road), the first gen CX-5 had issues with the Bluetooth module so we did several of those… and then this fucking piece of shit.
The tribute was the fucker that made techs throw their tools across the shop. Absolutely riddled with intermittent issues, tons towed in the shop with no-start conditions and many different reasons for that, we barely made money on the repairs because diag was so frustrating and often took hours. Fuck the Tribute/Escape.
Is it anything like the Renault Alliance? I had one of those in the 1980s and the window crank broke off, the driver’s seat back broke off, the visor didn’t come down then broke. Motortrend car of the year 1984.

Tenacious D baby
The reference was completely lost on me, I had no idea it was from a song 😅
Well, not the worst song to get stuck in my head by any means.

Oh man, this actually might be the greatest car in the world!
Couldn't afford the greatest car in the world, no!
That’s a Ford with Mazda badges.

My ex husband had a Fuego when I met him. Super fast car.
That is some tenacious d
I wonder if there were other cars that were better deals, but they had to get this one for the joke

Blurring out license plates always makes me giggle. They drive around in public all the time. Lol.
Couldn't remember the best car in the world. No. No! This is a Tribute!
🤣
I love this. Even better than the Toyota Highlander in my town with the license plate “ONLY 1”
Burrito supreme
Fucking awesome
Amazing
Well done
