As far as I can tell, Ford has but one thing left going for it. Now they want to ruin that, too?

Remember back in the 70's, when the Mustang and the Pinto were the same car with different sheet metal?

I'd say there would be a likelihood of a variant to compete with the new Dodge Magnum.... I don't know if it should be badged as a mustang, but to share the basic underlying platform, and only change the sheetmetal and layout might not be a bad move.

Magnum seems to have done well for dodge, and cross over is in... why not a Ford sporty version of one?

Well, if Chevy can make a Me-Too Cruiser, Ford can make a Me-Too Wagon
(following the Magnum concept).
