I wonder if Ford get a positive enough reponse out of it whether they would permanently add this to their lineup? Either way, good marketing exercise !

Seems like all three hundred will go to people on this forum.

Lets hope like all the other "i would buy ones" they dont end up sitting around in dealers or 12mths and Ford get cold feet on being adveturous again.

I dont want one, but would love to see them on the road here.

It's like a better handling B series Typhoon. It is pricey, but it's a great car too.
