But, not all of us can blow a quarter mill on a car, for various reasons. So here's what you need to do.

You take the expertise you gained from developing the GT and the Mustang 350, and apply them into building a mid engined small coupe, that could rival both the Toyobaru and the Alfa 4C.

And that car is the Reflex. Super agile, super lightweight, powered by the Fiesta's 1.6 liter engine, with 200hp and built to include lightweight materials.

You can even let the people from Ford Europe develop it, since they have the Nurburgring and the Alps, to test it on. I don't care, just give us the damn Reflex.

That is probably one of the most boring LOOKING cars i have ever seen in my life. The enginering could be great and what you are explaining about tech-sharing from the GT is awesome and all, but don;t let it look like a bar of Dove soap.

They could update the design a little, to fit today's lineup. Remember, they were still using the Dave, design language, when they showed us that concept.

Wait, did Ford already announce prices for the next GT?

Anyway, build this with the GT350R engine and suspension, price it around 110k$, update the nose and aero, and sell like hotcakes.

And that was supposed to be the new GT and had a V10. It was sacked because Carpocalypse.

Fingers are crossed they price it around 200k$-220k$ and blown everyone else out of the water in terms of dollar-to-performance.

Ooo. Take the FoST and/or FiST FWD drivetrains (how about both, at different price points) and stick them in the back of this thing, like an MR2. Then just tune it, equip it, and make it not look like this horrible thing, and you've got a Toyobaru killer.
