After getting stuck behind countless Camry's on the way home last night I had an idea about how Ford could get rid of the last of the Fairlane shells and make a tidy profit (a la XC Cobras)
BF Fairlane shell with the following modifications: • Engine replaced with 4cyl Fiesta engine and Buick Dynaflow “automatic” (actually just a torque-converter .. no gear changes .. smoooooth) • Half the size of the fuel tank so that it gives the impression of economy • Mount the seat runners around the opposite direction so the seat will move all the way forward to the steering column • Remove all rear vision mirrors (not required) • Only available in white, silver or maroon .. no trendy colours. This would be the ultimate Camry competitor. Large enough to make it difficult to park and for others to get around. So underpowered to make it incapable of maintaining normal road speeds. The only thing is that it would need to be debadged … the Ford brand might be a bit too exciting. .. I hate Camry's .. |
