Double wishbone with pushrods, isn't that basically Control Blade?

oxbrain posted:That will never be sold in the US. The best we can hope for is a 5 door hatch with "sport suspension" and maybe some seats with more bolstering. I think the best we can hope for as a hot Fiesta would be if they shoehorned the Focus' 2.0 DI four banger in there. And even then, it'd be $20K+ to start.

travisray2004 posted:It's cheaper? and has a spooled option It's a whopping $145 cheaper base GenCoupe vs. base Mustang. a base V6 GenCoupe is almost $3,000 more than a base V6 Mustang. Also, the Mustang gets better gas mileage and is faster than the 3.8 Genesis. So I don't think "cheaper" is a very good argument. It is cool you can get a turbo in it though.

Faerunner posted:Yes, but the Civic Si beats the Mustang in looks without a second thought. And I like Honda interiors better than Ford. Looks are subjective, looks are subjective, looks are subjective. Repeat that to yourself until you either get it or you're laying face down drooling on the carpet. Whichever comes first. Oh, and I daily drive an '07 Civic Si. The new V6 Mustang is faster, gets better gas mileage, and has a nicer interior.

Seat Safety Switch posted:If Cadillac can somehow justify having a rear-wheel-drive supercharged V8 station wagon with manual transmission and automatic options, Honda sure as hell can justify a front-wheel-drive four cylinder with the same option. Because GM is known for making intelligent business decisions... And in fairness to Honda, look at who sells wagons these days. You've got BMW, Volvo, Audi, Subaru and who else? Mercedes doesn't sell them anymore, at least not in the US. Near-luxury seems to be the last niche the wagon can actually survive in, so it does make sense.

The Civic Si sedan is just under 3000lbs, and the coupe is 80lbs lighter than that.

The SFE package is available with the hatch and sedan on the Fiesta, so I think there might be more to it than that. Though to be fair, in the Fiesta it's only a ~50lb weight difference (the sedan is heavier).

I think the Genesis Coupe is a great example of why they can probably pull that off, minus the 'affordable' part.

Um, both really. The Genesis coupe isn't really expensive, but it's definitely not affordable for what you get either. So I sincerely doubt their ability to make an affordable roadster.

I was making more of a comment on them having the gall to publish it in a "newsstory". A Kia roadster almost certainly won't look even remotely like that. So what's the point of including it? In other words, internet "journalism" is pathetic

A 2.0 diesel w/ 148hp should be pretty alright. My biggest hope is that this pushes Ford to release a diesel Focus and/or Fiesta in the US.

I daily drive an 07 Civic Si, and I couldn't agree with KYOON more. The Civic is by no means the best car in its class, especially since the 2012 cheapens up an already less than impressive interior.
