Oh Ford

I'm sure I'm not the first person to notice this, I also noticed it a long time ago, Ford's switch from the Bronco to the Escape. The Ford Bronco was one of the earlier SUV's, it was made for 30 years! Infamous for its use in the low-speed chase with O.J. Simpson. I remember this pursuit being televised, in 1994, as cameras tracked his White Bronco from the sky. Soon after, however, in 1996, Ford stopped making the Bronco. Now as a full-size SUV, its successor is actually the Ford Expedition, or Excursion, but in 2001 Ford came out with a compact SUV called the Escape. I think the coincidence is just too good for Ford to not be purposely tongue and cheek with the use of the Bronco for O.J's flee. Genius!
