Well, my point was that there was some cool shit out there that would sell in the US. The Falcon, it's true is a little big and it's also true the "Monaro" isn't selling.
But the GTO is the victim of terrible marketing, and I, personally would welcome a 4 door, assuming it was priced right. With even Hyundai coming out with a rear-drive platform, Detroit needs to re-establish themselves as kings of proper-drive. What Ford NEEDS is the Falcon. What we GOT was the Fusion. Thank you ford, but I didn't like the Taurus the first time.
And as far as the Ute, the El Camino was more a victim of the Death Of The Muscle Car than it was from "People hate it". I mean, the new Brat, I mean Baja, isn't doing too bad.
And the VX220 is more than a GM Elise. It's turbo, with an engine that doesn't have to be wound to oblivion just to get a lil horsepower. I know it would completely cannablize the Elise AND Solstice sales, but jeez it'd be awesome to have here.
As an Aside, even Lutz said that the Solstice was buiilt to accomodate a V8. MMmmm....
