 Ford New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This sharing of models between Ford and Mazda led to the creation of a joint venture called Vehicle Assemblers of New Zealand (VANZ), in which the Mazda 323 and 626, were assembled alongside the almost identical Ford Laser and Telstar.
However, free-market reforms in New Zealand in the late 1980s saw the lowering import tariffs and the flood of used imports from Japan.
The Ford Focus finally arrived in New Zealand in 2003, with the smaller Fiesta arriving a year later, filling a gap in the market left by the demise of the Kia -sourced Festiva.

 Ford Mondeo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mondeo is produced at Ford's European plants in Germany and Belgium, as a sedan (saloon), a 5-door hatchback or a wagon ( estate).
In response to Ford's claim that it was a 'world car', Ford dealers retorted 'What world was it designed for?' The Contour and Mystique proved unpopular with US buyers, who preferred the larger local models, the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable, and both the Contour and the Mystique were dropped in 2000.
Ford Australia has withdrawn completely from the medium-sized segment of the Australian market, arguing that it is in decline.

 Ford Telstar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ford Telstar was a family car sold by the Ford Motor Company in Asia, Australasia and Africa, comparable in size to the European Ford Sierra and the US Ford Tempo.
The Telstar was dropped by Ford of Japan in 1999, as the company sought to differentiate itself from Mazda by concentrating on European and US Ford models.
In New Zealand, the Telstar, like the Laser, was assembled locally up to 1997, at the Ford/Mazda joint venture plant in Auckland called Vehicle Assemblers of New Zealand (VANZ).

 Search car reviews by manufacturer - AutoTrader New Zealand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Ford New Zealand marketing manager Graeme Whickman says the decision to go with one body style was made mainly to ensure the car reached the market quickly.
The new bodyshell is eight percent stiffer in torsion, and the car rides on a 40mm wider track and 25mm longer wheelbase, all factors intended to reinforce the Focus' reputation for fine driving dynamics.
Ford makes much of the new Focus' abilities as a car for the keen driver, and after initial acquaintance with the range we think that claim is pretty well on the mark.

He was also in the New Zealand Colts in 1972 but handling problems in a match against Taranaki perhaps contributed to a reluctance to give him All Black honours.
Ford toured France at the end of the 1977, scoring four tries in six matches but failing to make the playing XV for the two tests.
Ford's only real moment in the limelight on this tour was a court appearance after a nightclub incident for which he received only token punishment.

 Mazda New Zealand ---------------- Mazda6 ----------------
In Detroit, the Ford Motor Company may be haemorrhaging red ink, but here in Godzone, where the right products are sold at the right money, things couldn't get much better for Ford New Zealand.
Now with the benefit of a further day tossing the new 6 around the hills to the north of Rome, I am even more convinced that it will indeed be the car to beat Mondeo.
Which probably explains why Ford New Zealand can hardly wait for the imminent arrival of their new five-speed auto option, which should be available before the new 6 gets here in late July.
