antp ◊ 2007-01-29 12:53	And was it called Granada or Scorpio in Ireland?
Zilog Jones ◊ 2007-01-29 14:08	They were originally called the Granada Scorpio here and in the UK. I can't remember if one of those names was dropped at some stage. The following model (the fugly one ) was just the Scorpio. I think Fords here are generally identical to what's available in the UK, except there is a much smaller selection here (like with most cars).
antp ◊ 2007-01-29 15:43	Wasn't Scorpio just a trim level for some Granada?
Zilog Jones ◊ 2007-02-11 01:53	Possibly. I forget
