Ill elaborate on my previous post, sorry for being disjointed but IPhone isnt the best way to absorb some of this stuff!

For XR8 to return it must tick a few boxes;

1) XR8 has to be for the masses
2) it has to be the BEST performance product in FORDS stable
3) it needs competitive appointments
4) it needs to be priced competitively while returning profit to Ford.
5) it needs to offer decent performance against the SS.

The now dead FGXR8 in reality ticked 4 of those 5 boxes.....

There's an elephant in the room at Ford....
