Ford: How can we copy the Dodge Magnum without alienating customers?
Me: You can't. Your move will be incredibly transparent.
Ford: What if we base it off the Mustang? It's a muscular car that won't look prissy as wagon.
Me: Did you hear anything I just said?
Ford: The Mustang is the only thing this company has going for it, we might as well expand its reach, right?
Me: In case you hadn't noticed, the Mustang has a significant history behind it. The magnum was a new creation that actually required a smidge of thought. Don't mess with what people love.
Ford: But it looks cool!
Me: Cool like a furnace.
Ford: I'd drive it.
Me: And what's the rest of your great idea record look like?
Ford: My grandpappy invented the assembly line.
Me: Do you recall what Homer Simpson did to Herb Simpson's car company?

SHHHHHH!!!!!!! Don't give them any more ideas!
While I downright detest wagons of any sort, at least that one looks better than any wagon I've ever seen. That does not make it a good idea though.
Any chance they change their minds and scrap this idea?
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

Yeah, just ask the 40,000 people out of work because of Ford's greedy pursuit of bigger-is-better (except in Texas of course, where bigger is, in fact, better).
