The 1989 Via, and the 2001 Start look production ready. I like them both, and I like most of the other cars posted too. About half these cars are new to me, thank you very much for posting them Cd.

I wonder if Gerry McGovern worked on the Via, reminds me of the 2003 Mercury Messenger.

In 1989 Ford created the Ghia Via as a concept of what the sports car would look like in the year 2000
EDIT-2:
Guess old Gerry had nothing to do with the Ghia/Via project.

I'm guessing he saw it, and liked something about it though. Maybe someone on the project team was more instrumental and is a link between the two projects.
