Likes an official Ford project. But I get ya. Who's to say they couldn't make a jacked up version for off-roading? It just seems like one of the coolest vehicles they could bring back if they wanted to lean into their off-road heritage. 

Like most concept renders, I look at the lack of clearance and the air dam, and...well, give me the original. Please.

How could you not lol?

This underscores why cheap entry level cars aimed at 16-20 yr olds are not nearly as important as they used to be.

Ol' Billy Boy is takin' seriously the trends away from car ownership among the youngins. He said the following a few years ago:   It probably is not a surprise to hear that cars and trucks are in my blood. They are my family heritage, my life’s work, and my deep passion.   Given how much I love cars, it may surprise some of you that I believe the auto industry needs to rethink its approach. At a TED Conference, I delivered a clear, perhaps surprising, message: we just can’t keep making and selling automobiles the way we always have. The current industry model simply will not work everywhere in the future.   For most of my adult life, I worried about, “How am I going to sell more cars and trucks?” But today, I worry about, “What happens if all we do is sell more cars and trucks?”

I could see Ford eventually making a hybrid the standard powertrain (removing ICE only I-4 ecoboost altogether) down the road as a bridge to an EV model, getting people used to the idea of an electric Mustang coupe/vert, and maybe having a V8 hybrid option.     I think Camaro stuck with the bathtub design too long, and as mentioned, the design for the last gen was too similar to the previous model.  The 911 approach to design (not changing much with each redesign) doesn't work on other vehicles.

We know you like the RS200 sketch lol.

I don't mind the profile - don't like the grille/headlights.  But with the coupe market being limited, I don't know that adding extra coupes is a recipe for success...

Yea, exactly. Ford's head honcho mentioned those two companies as his biggest competitors
