Neat idea, bad time. If I were Ford, I would sell the design to some foreign company for millions and save us from having tons of these sit on our lots.

Regardless of whether this concept makes production or not, it was still good and I would bet a lot of little things in and on it will make it to production on other vehicles. What I think I liked most about this concept was the Diesel/Electric Hybrid power plant. Good power with great fuel economy. I don’t remember the exact numbers, but I think the fuel efficiency was something like 67 MPG. WOW!!!

OMG, a design that is not retro from Ford? Gasp. I can’t believe J. Mays gave the go for this team. Forget it, Ford isn’t brave enough to bring bold designs to the market.

Who cares that it came in 11 months? It is too small, not great looking and Ford will likely make it FWD, and isn’t the Celica only selling like 5k a year now? Ford, fix your bread and butter cars first.

Ain’t that a little small?

On a serious note: “take on trendy compacts like the Mini Cooper” but ain’t that a two seater?
I have seen some more pics, by the way, and it really does look futuristic and sporty.
