Ford and Chevy
You know what would be funny is if in a year's time Ford and Chevy announces they will have a joint venture in the 200HP RWD coupe market.

That would be funny...but the car would be terrible and the FRS will annihilate it in every aspect.

I doubt Ford would lower themselves to that level.

Not to mention they wouldn't have a market niche for it when something like this runs with the same price tag as their V6 Camaro's and Mustangs. But the OP is right about a joint venture between Ford & Chevy being hilarious in general. A lot of die hard fans would |

So true!! They don't want to get involved with that bailout scum, plasticy POS's that fall apart.
But Isuzu made them a pretty nice diesel engine that they market the crap out of...Duramax. The V6 Mustand and Camaro would be in-house competition for such a car anyway...plus Chevy has that 130R Camaro met a 1-series little bastard child thingy. |

Well that did kinda happen but ford already has a car that is faster in almost any circumstance, gets better gas mileage, has a decent aftermarket and is cheaper when compared to the frs so I get the point

The idea is to improve the appeal of the mustang overseas, where unlike it's US success the car has sold terribly for as long as it has existed. Assuming a 2014 - 2016 appearance I'd say that could be an interesting car, and depending on the AS1's success may bower a few ideas from Toyobaru... |

Pontiac was dying and the Solstice didnt save it. Saturn was on the rebound with its rebadged Opels but no one cared. And it had the Sky. Aside from those, the main problems about the cars as far as i can tell were: 1.) too damn small for some people 2.) There was absolutely no trunk space or storage space even with the top up.... 3.) They were pretty porky for what they were supposed to be. |

If GM was to make a small RWD coupe against the FR-S it would not be a N/A 2.0 liter. It would more than likely be a RWD version of the last Cobalt SS Turbo. And that car alone is too much on a race track for the FR-S/BRZ.
