Well,
It's not only the UK who has lame business managers.
Ford is closing the famous plant that has most recently been building
the retro looking T Bird. That plant will close in July and thousands
will lose their jobs.
This one is a combination of the business managers and the engineers
(maybe with business pressure) to not put a decent engine in the car to
make it a "true T Bird" that woul d actually sell and compete with
other cars in it's class...
