Cuz Ford would take a genuine Swedish design and make it (in Mexico) with heavy American Steel
Use crappy Accents in the dash to look "aero" with VERY few buttons and knobs
Put it on a Ford FiveHundred Chassis and NOT offer AWD, only FWD
Cram a Supercharged 1.7L against an Experimental CVT (push buttons in dash)
They'll ruin it with putting CUPHOLDERS for every passenger
Put 18" rims on 12" rotors and only a sinle brake line to operate a single piston (non opposable)
9" drum in the rear mounted to Cast Aluminum control arms
Headlights will be made of the SAME plastic used on every Taurus
Central Locking? what is that?
Spare tire would be UNDERNEATH the car
Coin tray would be deleted
Bench seat used in front to make for more shoulder room
Chrome, Chrome, Chrome EVERYWHERE (Automakers' idea of "Retro")

And the all time waste of electronis:

The coded entry key pad on the driver door!
