Mazda Platforms

Since Ford no longer has a controlling interest in Mazda, it doesn't seem to make sense to include a complete list of Mazda platforms here. Most of these were never use for Ford models. Mazda should perhaps use its own infobox.

The shared platforms were added to the Ford section where it seemed appropriate. Here is the list of Mazda platforms removed:

D - already listed under Ford as DA
B - Ford Laser, Escort - Added to Ford
G - Ford Probe - Added to Ford
TA - No Fords listed in link - removed
H - No Fords listed in link - removed
J - No Fords listed in link - removed
F - No Fords listed in link - removed
N - No Fords listed in link - removed
SE - No Fords listed in link - removed
S - Ford Freda (SG) - Added to Ford
L - No Fords listed in link - removed

Ford Falcon EA26, EA169 and E8 platforms - should these be rationalised?

Now that the Australian Ford Falcon sedan and utility and Ford Territory SUV have ceased production, I wonder if having three separate entries for the Falcon platform is justified. They E8 is an interative development of the EA169, the EA169 was an iterative development of the EA26 which itself was a development of the Australian Falcon platform dating back to the 1960s. The other issue is that it is not really clear from the linked articles that the Ford Falcon and Territory shared the same E8 platform. Perhaps it would be better to simply list the "E8" platform with a link to Ford Falcon (Australia), and rewrite that article's introduction to incorporate the Territory as a derivative? - 118.209.203.236 (talk) 06:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Justified While it is not entirely intuitive, the entries listed for the Australian Ford Falcon are three entirely differently different vehicles (technically also the Fairmont/LTD...) This is also the same context as where there are three different links related to the Ford Mustang (related to the 1979-current examples). --SteveCof00 (talk) 10:49, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
