OJ Simpson literally cursed that car model forever.
My favorite take was the white green 4x4 in the Cruisin’ USA arcade game had a license plate that said GUILTY.
Trying to find a screenshot cuz that’s outstanding if true, but not having any luck. Please post if you can find one!
Almost impossible to find something without installing MAME and taking a screenshot myself. But I got a blurry cap of the back of the 4x4 (which is green, not white):
You can barely make out the text, which was removed from the console versions of the game.
Add: And for the first time ever, I now notice that right above the plate it literally says Jeep.
ABC reports that Ford has ordered a recall for almost 43,000 small SUVs due to a potential risk of fire.
Y’all call that a small suv? … damn
Not sure how you classify sizes. It’s small for an SUV in markets where it’s called Escape (and not Kuga). It’s average for a crossover (CUV), it’s actual class. It has the same footprint as a Focus wagon (6" longer than a hatchback) and 9" taller. It’s a foot shorter than a Fusion sedan. I find passenger space to be annoyingly upright and couldn’t get comfortable driving one for more than an hour despite being under 6ft. It’s definitely small by American standards.
Ford lawyer: “If the fuel injectors don’t fit then you must acquit.”
Judge: “Um, not sure that helps your case here.”
Hell of a way to bury the announcement.
