The Ford Motor Company is currently the second largest carmaker on Earth. "FoMoCo" (one of its nicknames) includes the Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover and Aston Martin brands, which cover massive parts of the car market in the US and abroad. It is widely believed that Ford's American brands, namely Ford, Mercury and Lincoln, are suffering due to the added responsibilities of the new additions to the Ford family, as well as controversies harming important models, like the older version of the Ford Explorer SUV and Ford Focus compact. Ford is criticized especially for its handling of the historical and ailing Lincoln brand, which is no longer a top-tier luxury brand while its rival Cadillac is supported more heavily by General Motors, along with the increasingly irrelevant Mercury brand, which sells the most obvious twins of Ford models besides Lincoln.

1. A company that produces motor vehicles
2. A brand of motor vehicle
Ford was the first company to pioneer mass production, and thus lower prices enough for the middle-class to afford them. In this way the company became a symbol of americanism and effectivity, and a common target of antiamericans and anticapitalists.

Fords are amazing people! They enjoy playing video games and spending time with their sister. Fords never care about themselves and always put everyone, mostly their family and friends, first. They often don't care about themselves enough and get themselves into hot water or sticky situations that they can't get out of. Fords may not have many friends, but the few friends they do have are the best friends that they could wish for. Fords usually have trust issues but the people they're close with (friends and family) they trust with all their heart. Fords have short, light blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. He will always be very handsome. A Ford is the best friend you could ask for! why aren't you friends with a Ford?!

An American car company, started by the entepreneur Henry Ford in the Detroit, Michigan area in the early 20th century. The name "FORD" is for many people an acronym in various forms:
Figure On Repairs Daily
Fix Or Repairs Daily
Found On the Road Dead
Fucked Over Rebuilt Dodge
Fucked Over Rebuilt Dishwasher
and on a positive angle:
First On Race Day

My second car was a Ford Fairmont. Because it had a V4 engine it took a few seconds to accelerate, but once it "clicked" it took off like a bat out of hell. Maybe it wasn't First On Race Day but maybe Fourth or Fifth On Race Day. It got me going. It never behaved like the negative acronyms suggest. It performed quite nicely.
