Take away the Gull Wing doors and a few other elements, and the design is doable, and very sporty. As a production car, and with the production realities of smaller wheels, proper doors and grille, the Reflex would actually make a great stablemate to the Mustang and the Fusion. It has a low slung, sexy and edgy design perfect for young people who like to feel, well, sexy and edgy. With a good four-cylinder, turbocharged engine tucked under the hood, it would definitely be the small car that would get some attention, one that would be vastly different than the competitive set -- a distinction that Ford may well find to its liking.
