I don't really like the headlights, and the color isn't my favorite, but it would be a fun Ford to drive. I think it would compete too much with the mustang in the general public's eye, so maybe that is a reason they have not released such a car here in the states.

Ford will not bring in a car that would be faster than the Mustang, that is their flagship performance vehicle.

Correction. They think Americans are only interested in heavy girly v8 convertibles that are only capable of going fast in a straight line before understeering into a tree.
