Almost all their names are open range things now that the EcoSport is gone. (rumored the Puma will replace it)

Wild Animals
Bronco
Puma
Mustang
Maverick
Thunderbird
- Ford renewed its ownership. (mythological character that appears in many Native American legends was in the mid-west/wild west)
Taurus (formerly)

What would that large prairie/wooded area be patrolled/policed by? A Ranger.

What do you do in the wilderness? Escape to it, Explore(er) it, or go on an Expedition. (Formerly an Excursion also)

The only things that DONT fit right now are the E/F series, and Edge. They can rename the Edge to Taurus and it would fit.

Speaking of improper names, in Europe they've reused the name Puma for a bulbous city crossover that looks more like a frog than a puma and has the same dynamic qualities as a potato.

How about the Fusion? That name would suggest something like a rocket, not a tame, civilized four-door saloon. Not to mention that before being used for the American saloon, it was used in Europe for an ugly minivan, kind of a Fiesta on stilts.

The Puma actually gets solid reviews though, and Fusion does NOT fit the name scheme at all either.

It does, because as city crossovers go, it's quite a good one. And it's made in Romania, which means I should be proud of it and happy that it's selling well. And I am, actually. :)
But still, there's nothing about it that might even as much as hint at a puma. A puma is the last animal in the world that might spring to mind when you see it. It's a wide-mouthed frog.

Umm may want to re-read the common theme in the Ford product names. Fusion does NOT fit that theme.

No, Fusion doesn't. So it should go right next to the Edge on your list of cars to be renamed. :)

No one cares what name is on a vehicle. unless it was already used, and the new vehicles is nothing like the older one. Then problems start.
I Think Ford missed the mark. the Bronco sport should've been named, Bronco II and the full sized The Bronco.
The escape oops bronco sport isn't sporty it is a niche SUV.
