If you are going to do an april fools, at least make it semi-believable. The Voltswagen one was pretty believable, and sucked a lot of people in. It would have worked pretty well if it wasn't leaked 2 days early, cause a lot of auto news pages ran with the - Volkswagen to be renamed Voltswagon in the US to signify their shift to EV's.

Gotta admit it was a pretty lame attempt, as soon as i got to the Ranger Fiesta Raptor & Ranger Focus Raptor I moved on and didn't bother reading the rest
