Re: Another copy-cat!?! Prodigy(Ford...or Audi?)

["Chris Dyer" <chrisdyer@hotmail.com>]

I, too, did a double take on the Ford Prodigy (and the Taurus in '85).

This is easily explainable if what I think I read somewhere is true (I could 
be way off): that the designer of the New Beetle, Boxster, and current 
generation of VW/Audis left about 1.5 years ago and is now the head designer 
for Ford.

I'm not positive, my altered synapses also think he went to 
Damlier-Chrysler.
