More to do with headline width limitations than thesaurus or style guides.

How about 'to' ?

As in "Force india to design faster car" rather than 'vows' to design faster car. It's just not needed and someone feels th eneed to put it in every second headline**.








** slight exaggeration.

"to" implies they actually will though. Vows is correct, in that they're determined or trying to design a faster car, but that doesn't mean they will.
