Ford should bring back the Pinto name but probably won't. Just like Falcon or Thunderbird probably wont either but still would be cool.

And when I hear Warthog the first thing I think of is this scene. Who remembers it?

i just learned from this that evidently a pinto is a horse!
just don't run into the back of one (which is why they won't bring that name back either)

Raptor is a dinosaur

Warthog is a prehistoric bovine that happens to still exist.

You would think the industry would learn from past design flaws. The same flaw with the Pinto was designed into the Jeep Liberty. It is how I got the tow package. To address the hazard from rear-end collisions and the rear mounted gas tank, they decided that the tow hitch was sufficient armor to protect the gas tank. In reality, the tow hitch just provides a cleaner puncture of the gas tank than without in the event of a rear-end collision.

True.

Razorback kinda has that "Raptor" mentality attached to it, I think. I mean it sounds like the same people would like it.

Warthog is a non-starter for me. I hate Sasquatch, too - which is part of the reason why it was easy to pass on. It is all too cutesy-marketing for my taste.

That being said I am okay with Z28, SS, RS, GT, FX4, etc. :unsure:

What other horse-related names can you call it? A wild horse has its own name and that is already a car that Ford makes, and a popular one at that. We don't really need to add to the controversy that already exists around it.

So what next? Unicorn? Since it can fly? Zebra if they offer it with racing stripes? Donkey if it has a big ass? Mule if it's meant to work? Clydesdales if they have big feet? I can go on with horse-based puns all day.
