ether way there would be no sence for them to make the car anything like the old one,
Look at new T bird they made, OH ya its a T bird then they made the cougar a FWD car that had nothing to do with cougar name, Just made a FWD car looked at it and went we need a name anyideas and one guy was talking toa buddy about this cougar he picked up and we all know how u hear some words when someone is talking so the CO heard Cougar and named the car that.

SO there for the New cougar was named after a old cougar and not a XR7

The thing everyone is forgetting Ford will not make anything that will out power, out handle, and out sell the Mustang.

The Mustang is fords flagship for performance. They will never make a mercury that wouold beat the mustang at everything.

Yeah, it would just be too expensive, so who cares, there's only one Turbocoupe, and it might be better if it stays that way. They're great cars in their own way, but it didn't sell back then and the same concept wouldn't sell now, now a SVO Mustang might be a different story, but then, would Ford allow a turbo Duratec 4 or 6 cylinder to outrun the V8 mustang? Probably not.

ford wouldn't even use the DOCH on the 2.3 when it was prototyped. (260 hp at 15 psi) why the hell do you think they would even consider bringing the turbo coupe thunderbird back? hell, the new thunderbird it a heavy piece of shiznit compaired to any 83-97 thunderbird.

If anything, a new TC should have the Aussie Falcon XR6 turbo.

now that with a bit of fresh styling would make a sweet new T-bird, from the base to the TC models. you could bring over the whole platform. and that turbo I6 make my sleep all sticky.

nothing is going to happen, and even if it did I wouldnt buy it or care. Another tacular plastic fendered car. I would stick with the heavy underpower cars that we all know and love, rather then an import copy with less power and half of the weight. Even if it sait TC or t-bird, it would be an abomination to the cars heritage. Right now a big heavy fast car dosent sell, unless its the mustang. There isnt room for more then one car. Slammed cat hit the nail right on the head. "The thing everyone is forgetting Ford will not make anything that will out power, out handle, and out sell the Mustang."

The Mustang is fords flagship for performance. They will never make a mercury that wouold beat the mustang at everything. Ps,.... As much as I like ford cars, you wouldnt catch me owning a new one. Not that I hate ford, cause I love them, but $32000 for a car that I dont want? that just sucks.

Hate to burst your bubble there.

And if Ford brought this over, I don't think anyone would be calling it an abomination, if the design was an evolution of the MN12 and a 2-dr.

Two problems.

1: The GT starts at $150,000 alot more than any mustang.
2: Downunder they don't have a mustang.

Good points.

The XR6 in two door form would be slick but we all know what shiznit we would get from the chevy guys. "Copying the GTO it will never work"

Next the MN12 would be a good start for the car but would have to do something about the rear ends on the car being they are the weak point.

And a T-bird has always cost a lot more than a Mustang. If Ford brought the Falcon over, made it actually look like a T-bird, and priced it where it belongs, you shouldn't worry about the GTO. Since it didn't look anything like a GTO, and was priced far above the name it took. Would you call that copying, or doing it right? Anyway, everybody's doing the same type of marketting these days as it is. Bringing established models over from other markets is nothing new. It just doesn't happen with Aussie cars.

Not to mention the GTO is just a copy of the Catera. The same platform, actually, just in a sedan. It was priced where it belonged, though. With Cadillac. Still Australian, still GM, but it came before the GTO. (not that either have been a smashing success)
