I kept looking for the front of the car only to realise that the ugly crome bit IS the front...

" The concept is powered by a plug-in hybrid hydrogen fuel cell system. Already in testing in a Ford Edge, the drivetrain's compact hydrogen fuel cell system is used to recharge a lithium-ion battery pack, which in turn powers the electric drive system."

I swear there is a conspiracy whereby all non-petrol cars must be butt ugly so no one actually buys one. (exept die hard hippies (so they blinged it up so they dont want it either)).

If our universal thoughts are that this wont fly, then I bet the good old boys from the US will believe it will build it

That first car is rediculous. The Interceptor might be alright though. But at least now we can see what Ford is wasting their money on.

If I was an engineer I'd be offended to be on the team that was tasked with making THAT happen...

Just think, the money and resources used to make this POS could have been spent on a modern interpretation of a XB GT Hardtop.
