The thing for the big changes is that they pretty much said outright from the very beginning that they would never be doing a high HP version. I don't think (opinion alert) that it was ever in the plan or that it ever will be. It seems to us here that there are loads of people screaming for them but the real numbers are probably way below a profit point.
I wasn't very clear when I spoke of the muscle cars. I was not meaning to imply that they were low powered or poor performers just that they are not the big name versions of legend. They are the bread and butter of the industry for those that want the name, style, history, etc of the cars but don't care about the performance. I was not comparing them to the 86 in function but just illustrating the point that if the only versions that existed were the performance ones than even the Mustang would be a low production car. Be sort of like if the twins were just upgraded Corollas then they would have that huge volume base model for the average person and the short run performance version for those that wanted it. Since 86 does not have this high volume version it stands alone as a low production car.

I couldn't imagine having to go to Detroit frequently. I hate travel, my idea of a travelling job is me getting up and walking 5 minutes and being at work. Any more travel than that and I am not happy.
Agree with the rest. Still waiting on the rumored lower powered version of the 86 that unfortunately never came. Not sure even if they did choose to add a turbo it would be "high hp" by anyone's definition, I almost would love to see them introduce a new turbo 86 with 220 hp and 220 lb/ft of torque just to laugh at all the people who freak about how that still isn't enough power. And then they'd freak about the $30-$35k price tag attached to it. And they still wouldn't buy a new 86. Damn I just wish they'd stop ruining our currency.
