The New 2016 Ford CT
Renault and Ford have joined forces to create the perfect small car for women.
Mixing the Renault 'Clio' and the Ford 'Taurus' they have designed the 'Clitaurus'. It comes in pink, and the average male car thief won't be able to find it - let alone turn it on - even if someone tells him where it is and how to do it.
Rumor has it though, that it leaks transmission fluid once a month, and can be a real bitch to start in the morning! Some have reported that on cold winter mornings, when you really need it, you can't get it to turn over.
New models are initially fun to own, but very costly to maintain, and horribly expensive to get rid of. Used models may initially appear to have curb appeal and a low price, but eventually have an increased appetite for fuel, and the curb weight typically increases with age. Manufacturers are baffled as to how the size of the trunk increases, but say that the paint may just make it LOOK bigger.
This model is not expected to reach collector status. Most owners find it is best to lease one, and replace it each year.

My idea for designers of cars --NO job until you have been a mechanic for at least one year.
Things like removing structural parts to change plugs .Mixing both metric and english nuts and bolts in an engine .
A more recent one is a Honda with a 'sun roof' at the back .That was weird until I remembered that all the auto makers have design studios in S.Cal.Young designers in S.cal?? Most important to them is surfing !!
As a rational engineer I cringe at these features.
