This is a great question. What happened with all that talk about the next Gen being on the larger CD6 platform? They originally planned the next gen to have an AWD drive model with ICE and electric. This was abandoned some where along the way. I wonder what kind of impact this decision had for the rest of the project. The story of the S650 seems to be peculiar given the fact the end product is more refresh than new generation, and pivotal goals were shifted during the process. If I remember correctly the release date changed several times.My wild guess is corporate gave them some scraps in terms of budget and told them to make an "all new" car - which most of the time mean new tail lights and maybe a fender, here it's LCDs and remote rev (didn't know underaged people bought these cars). It's low cost marketing effort, mechanically it's very much the same car or at least nothing that Ford said yesterday suggests otherwise.
