            [[bold]] We're Big Over There. [[/bold]]

     In 1981, for the seventeenth consecutive year, Ford and its affiliates sold more vehicles overseas than any U.S. based manufacturer.* And last year we outsold our nearest competitor by 33%, our biggest lead ever.
     We're big over there. We sold more vehicles outside our home market than any other manufacturer sold outside its home market. More than General Motors or Toyota or Nissan or Volkswagen or Honda or Mercedes-Benz or Peugeot or Renault or Porsche or Fiat or Volvo.

[[underline]] [[italics]] Here's what being so big over there means for you over here. [[/italics]] [[/underline]]

     Being so big over there gives us a world full of resources. A solid example of our worldwide expertise is the Ford Escort. It's the best selling car in the world, because some of the best minds in the world helped design, test and perfect it.
     And those minds, here and abroad, also helped design and engineer Escort's CVH 4-cylinder engine and its four wheel fully independent suspension system.
     And they're working right now on the cars and trucks you'll be driving tomorrow.
     That's why being so big over there helps us to make better cars and trucks over here.
