Ford Motor Co. -- hoping to tap into a popular television programming trend -- is planning to produce a reality show in which contestants work with Ford designers to produce a hot new concept car.

I think this is a pretty good idea - as far as reality shows go, that is.

This sounds like a good idea. So was this just a pilot program? Or do they have contestants yet?

I look forward to Ford's new ads though. American car companies advertising is awful (save maybe Chrysler). Take the new Tahoe's advertising, in that it always has to add that they have a "power-lift gate", thinking an automatic trunk button will somehow sell cars.

Well lets hope they get more honest input than the folks who told them that the 500 was an exciting and dynamic vehicle that will become their next geneeration Taurus!

Better get their contestants from outside SE Michigan where everyone is afraid to tell the Emperor he has no clothes.
