The KA wont be a great loss, the Mk1 was a pig awful car where bits fell off in your hand and the engines rattled straight off the end of the production line.

I believe Ford thought that the Mundane was able enough to fill the space that the out going Scorpio left


........ that was according to a lad from across the road that worked for a Ford dealership at the time the Scorpio was killed off  :-\

Agreed, the only reason they canned the Fugly Frog was that they couldn't sell any.

And there is only one reason that they didn't sell... our beloved Omega, which is the car Ford should have replaced the Mk3 Granada with ::)

A touch ironic really, as in the end the Omega replaced it anyway :-\

Not sure about the 2.9, but certainly, the 2.3 and 2.8 Cologne lumps could also be stroked to 3.7 litres without drama 8)
