Where does the name "Fox" come from?

 

In 1973, upper management personnel(from Ford of Europe) being rotated out or their european assignments came away from the continent impressed by a "foreign car" called FOX. The fox was produced by germany's volkswagen offshoot, audi NSU Auto union AG, and the line was being distributed by porsche-audi. As ford's new car team formed, it included some of those former Ford of Europe managers, and the Fox import became the Ford Team's unofficial development target. Features that were incorporated into the european fox, were introduced and became a design challenge for the ford's fox team. And one model year after the all new foxbody Fairmont/Zephyr debuted for 1978, the sporty foxbody mustang was introduced for 1979.

 

Are you kidding? Look at the resemblance.

 

I guess you have a point.
