I ran across this article that concerns the 2007 Ford Expedition in Venezuela (I am guessing its in Venezuela, as that's the only word I can really make out) but I can’t read all of it, and I tried to translate it with a free internet translator, but nothing made sense. What language is it in? (I’m going to hazard a stupid guess, but is it Spanish?) Anyway, I was wondering what the article was about ...

Dos reales citadinos, que nunca habían salido de camping y no podían despegarse de computadores y teléfonos celulares, fueron llevados a la Gran Sabana en compañía de auténticos aventureros y cambiaron su ruta en vehículos todo terreno sin equipamento especial. Se trata del nuevo reality show de Sun Channel, Cambia La Ruta.

Translation:

Two "reales citadinos", (this means two people from the city), who had never gone camping ever before and couldnt (now this might sound very spanish but it is what is says) unstick themselves of their computers and cell phones were taken to "La Gran Sabana" in company of authentic (authentic in the sense of pure if you know what i eman) adventures and changed their routes on all terrain vehicles (so, SUVs) with no special equipment (this goes for the SUVs) this is it, the new Sun Channel reality show "Cambia La Ruta" ("Change your Route).

There you have the tranlation for the small paragraph by the picture, if you want me to translate more here i am.

Yes indeed, and thanks a lot CCF ...

Actually ive been reading the rest and it just explains that the show is meant to do that, take two people from the city and make them do that route on the SUVs, each episode will last 30 minutes and there will be apparently just four, it also explains that the program is just to show both the Explorer and the Expedition, the parragraph exactly says

Por otra parte, Eduardo Chocrón, Gerente de Mercadeo de Ford Motor de Venezuela mencionó que ésta alianza permite mostrarle al público que "con Ford Explorer y Ford Expedition se puede vivir una experiencia única en la ciudad y en vías offroad, con la mejor comodidad y versatilidad que se pueda ofrecer en el mercado, sobre todo lograr hacer un turismo sano que no dañe el medio ambiente y que sea accesible a cualquier persona. Esto sólo se puede lograr gracias a las estrategias comerciales entre Ford y SunChannel; dos empresas que tienen como filosofía la conservación del Medio Ambiente”, comentó.

Translation:

On the other hand, Eduardo Chocrón, (some range) of Ford Motor of Venezuela showed that this "alliance" allows to show the audience (or public, as you prefere in english) that with Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition you can enjoy a unique xperience in the city and on offroad tracks, with the best comfortability and versatility currently ofered on the market, even doing a healthy turism that doesnt hurt the enviroment and accesible to any person, this can only be achieved with the "commercial strategies" (i wonder if this will sound odd to you) between Ford and Sunchannel, two companies which have as philosofy the preservation of the enviroment.

And this is a promo of the programme, both cars are shown, specially at the end of the video:

They also mention another 13 mroe programmes of it on 2008, to sum up Neptune, if they do good use of the SUVs, which they might because it is sponsored by them, this is a programme you should watch although you cant understand it, it may contain nice sequences with both SUVs.

The rest paragraphs contain irrelevant information respecting both SUVs trust me, that's the most important you could be interested in.

Thanks a million CCF ... It would neat if this show could added to IMCDb. I was not even aware that the Expedition was sold in Venezuela.

Yes and in México, and few others, just go to google and type ford and then any southamerican country you can think of, youll see where they are sold.

Colombia is quite a poor country nowadays i wonder if there's any point on selling these in there but oh well.
