Ha ha ha! Tying in with the thread on cookie-cutter cars, the two vehicles couldn't vaguely resemble each other because the laws of fluid dynamics in our atmosphere are immutable and unchanging? No....

Also, there's the little issue of VW actually building their concepts and making a limited-production run of the final version. If you want to be taken seriously, Ford, get off your collective a** and give us a real car, not a theoretical rendering.
They might have mentioned Volkswagen's Cd 0.159 1-liter car of 2002

And their Cd 0.15 ARVW of 1981
