Hello,

Ford announced that it will challenge the 2 seater market (Miata, Solstice, S2000) with a retro design based on the 1965 Galaxie 500 convertible. Since it will be a shorter version it will be called the Galaxie 50

The design is locked but they forgot a small detail. They are now looking for a suitable engine that fits. Options may include a Briggs and Stratton OHV engine. Aerodynamics were not really considered in the project. Whatever it is, it is. Expect the car to be late, underpowered and overweight.

Thanks,

Waddya mean April Fools!!?? That looks just like something that American car companies would do. It probably focus-grouped really well! :)

Ford focus grouped the Focus, and we see how spot-on they were with that one :blink:;)

They decided to call the new one the "Escort".
