"Ford Scorpio
In 1994 Ford launched the Scorpio. Soon after, the Scorpio’s chief designer was sacked and has never been seen again. It only grabbed the headlines for two reasons: one, the totally unforgiving design, and two, the Cosworth powered V6. Just when we thought this abomination was dead and buried, the Ford Scorpio Owners Club forum is still keeping the d**n thing alive."

Dont worry, one of the cheif designers (if not THE main man, who knows) of the Scorpio is alive and well and living in Sussex.....
He confessed "his crime" to me when he was having has car fixed at the garage and saw me working outside on the Ultima - was I shocked to say the least ! - very interesting chat tho 
He also confirmed to me what Gazza says above - ford had the drop on the new shape for the Mercs and were looking to steal a little of the thunder from the germans

<confession>
Actually, way back in 2000, the Ford KA was the first car I ordered new. Was sold a year later in favor of a new beetle.
</confession>
Another trivia about my old black KA: Both my sister AND my wife's sister have managed to crash it. Within 3 months! Lucky the full cover part of the insurance had no increase.

Well, I've been asked twice in last month if I was prepared to sell my car - 1 even said "anytime in next 5 years".  .
They were both previous owners.
