Makes me think of an Aston Martin that ran into a wall.  Not too bad, but the front needs a little work.

Lookes like that  Scion Tc. :barf:  Also looks to be a front drive.
If they are going to bring it back it need to come back with a BANG!

Wish list includes:
5.8 Lightning V8
Roots style super charger
Solid rear axle no IRS
5 or 6 speed trans
No big rims anything or 17in is useless
13in brakes
SLA front suspention
And a poor mans price tag. Below the $25,000 mark for a loaded one.

Did I miss anything?

I will admit that first cars styling is new to ford and not regurgitated from some old car.  Honestly I wouldn't care if its a front drive.  I just doesn't do it for me as a tbird or a cougar, but it shure is alot better looking than a Focus.  I hate those cars.

You fail economics.

Wish list is a very good name for all that. Don't expect to get all that for any less than $32 US. What's the projected price for the new GT500, because what you just listed will be around that mark or higher.

The only reason it would not be under $30k is because of the markup from the plant, markup from the dealer.....

Ya everyone needs there cut but a 200% markup is just stupid.

It costs a lot more than parts and labor to get a car on the showroom floor. Consider advertising costs, engineering costs for not only initial design, but also development and refinement.

Still, you won't see a Cougar cheaper than a Mustang. It just won't happen.

You won't see a Cougar period....much less one that shares platforms with a Mustang and is "more" car to boot.......

I under stand what you are saying but do you honestly think that a neon srt4 actually costs $28,000 to build and sell. Or an evo costs in the neighborhood of $35k.

Hell when I was up in MI when the neons were the new thing they were selling base model all options for $7k straight from the assembly line. Now where is the mark up?
