As many enthusiasts have laminated the loss of the small, light, and affordable mustang, I thought it would be interesting if Ford developed a foxbody inspired, FRS and Miata rival with smaller displacement engines using this design which looks like a modern fox body imo.
They could use the highly flexible and proven c2 platform to keep development costs low, which would make it easier to turn a profit in a low volume segment. Make it awd, offer a hybrid potentially (maybe even have the electric motors power the rear wheels so it feels closer to a rwd car), throw in the 2.0 and 2.3 Ecoboost. Take the maverick approach to interior design of making something cheap, but expressive.
This would enable ford to expand the mustang sub-brand in a way that appealed to a wide variety of enthusiasts young and old by going back to the mustangs roots of cheap, practical, and cheerful. While strengthening the brand in a way that doesn't directly step on the toes of the s650, and allows them to generate additional revenue on a platform that's already proving to be profitable. Let me know what you all think.
