How much "worse" is that than the European Ford Mondeo-based Jaguar X Type?
And how much "worse" would it be than, say, a massaged Standard Vanguard
engine and gearbox mated to Triumph Mayflower suspension, clothed in a
simplistic, severely cost-limited body? If it comes to be, better that the
Triumph name appear on a thinly disguised BMW than on a thinly disguised Kia.
I happen to think that the 3-series cars would make a nice starting point for
the new Herald. ;-)
But back to the origin of this thread. I was a bit surprised that Ford was
not in the Top 10? Are there no Pintos left in Improved Touring classes, or
???
