Reminds me of the Honda City where you can take the little Motocompo out and ride it.

Well that makes more sense than using a motorcycle as a front bumper.  On the other hand, how well did those Honda's with the city cycle sell in the market?  I bet it seemed like a great idea at the time, but if no one buys it then all it does is give Honda a little free press in the news for a day.  So far, using a motorcycle as a bumper hasn't even done much of that for Ford. However, the news that Ford is dumping sedans (except for the HP Mustang and a single small sedan) for pickup trucks and large SUVs has made the news and they will likely sell better than a car/motorcycle hybrid.

You also might have noticed that Ford didn't say a thing about making an electric F-150/250/350 in the future for hauling your lawn clippings to the dump.  ::)
