Became the Probe. One of my favorite Fords of all times.

I see Saturn SL in the rims.

They could introduce a smaller V8/V6 RWD coupe under the Mustang at this point. Go against the FR-S/BRZ, RX-9, 370Z, Genesis Coupe. Call it a Probe, I don't care. Just make it RWD and with a manual.

This is the very definition of retro-futurism.

Heck, they couldn't even put the horse going in the correct direction

 

[JackHoya]

A cab-forward stance with a short wheelbase that screams FWD, but has elements that end up on a Mustang..... sounds a lot like the Evos.

Ford concepts have improved considerably too, not just their production vehicles.

I always liked the Probe. At the time it was a good front wheel drive sports coupe.

I was a young man in my early twenties when Ford came up with the idea of the Probe / Mustang. There was such an uproar because Ford was going to turn the Mustang into a front wheel drive car with only a 4 and 6 cylinder engine option. I'm glad the protestors won out on that one because the Probe was not the direction Mustang needed to go. I suspect if it had, we would not have a Mustang today. Nothing against the Probe mind you, it was a good car. It just wasn't a Mustang.

Ford had big expectations of selling Probes in Australia at the time - Major Flop ! We also like our performance V8s.

No doubt of that. And when Ford needed to put an all new suspension under the all new Mustang, who did they go to?

Kind of like trying to sell 'utes here in the US?
