Usually a 'name' is usually an excuse for the manufacturer to use up different parts/trim and rebadge them as a limited edition model.  This usually happens when they make changes to the standard models, such as 1.3L, 1.6L etc.  They may include a special trim (uphostery) to make the car look differently, along with maybe a different colour scheme/stickers etc. 

For example, each year they have what is called a 'Model Year' (MY).  This is the true year of the vehicle - it means the exact specification of the vehicle and not necessarily what year it was built (e.g. you could possibly buy a 2005 MY vehicle in late 2004).  If one year they don't sell as many 1.3L models as they manufacturered then they will apply the changes/rename to make them sell.

Does that make sense?  Sorry if I haven't explained it well enough.

If you're looking for exact specifications of the Encore etc., then I'm afraid I can't help you (and I'm sure not many could since Ford would change the spec each year to make them more attractive).

KebabMeister has hit the nail on the head. Ford (Europe) are especially guilty of this as they very often try and pass off old pap as a new bargain.
