The Onion: Ford Unveils New Car for 2010

Car ownership today is much like air travel – a major part of life with an absence of romance, no matter how much the cost makes us want to fool ourselves. There’s nothing like a satirical newspaper to paint this truthful view of the car industry. In this clip, The Onion suggests that Ford will reintroduce the 1993 Taurus after talking to the consumer an innovative vehicle that fits the needs of the modern driver. “They told us that they don’t want all the bells and whistles.”

And sure, there’s some cool marketing going on with the introduction of old models from Europe but with just one person responsible for trends in the entire Ford organization you have to wonder how long the glow will last.
