Ford Model Baby Will

I grew up in a small town and so to keep posted on the essentials of what's going on in my hometown I read the community newspaper online. If nothing else, I always read the obituaries and birth announcements at least to know who has died and which families are growing.

Today I came across the following birth announcement:


Introducing the 2006 Model, Will
(William James Ford)

Like clockwork, Marin Ford debuted its 2006 model on March 31, almost exactly two and four years from the release of its other successful models. With a wheelbase of 20.5" and tipping the scales at 9 lbs, 8 ounces, it appears fuel costs and hopes of a more streamlined version have been ignored. The XY series is consistent with the 2004 model after the departure of the XX series introduced in 2002.
Car and Driver explained, "Although it is clear the XY series is harder to handle, it does require fewer accessories and the performance modifications should result in less drama."
Road & Track added, "There will be some key differences in this model. Let's hope the 2004 model settles down and can be driven side by side."
The proud development team of Rich and Christine couldn't be more pleased and are looking forward to really enjoying what is sure to be the final model.

Interesting. I need to also point out that the final line does indicate that the parents have obviously not read Humanae Vitae, Evangelium Vitae, or the Theology of the body.
