No, they are "world" cars. ;-) Really, the chassis was developed in Europe,
while the drivetrain was developed in the States. I think that's how it
went, been a few years since I read on the design. If anyone's interested I
can find the articles (from RT, MT, CD, Automobile) and scan them in. If
not, I won't.
BTW, many parts on these cars will work on a Ford Tempo! Think about that
the next time you drive that SVT Contour!
