Much better looking than the Hyundai Genesis, I must say. This is about the size of car the next generation Mustang should be, but with a V8 available, along with a TwinForce/Ecoboost 4 and V6.

As they say, prices subject to change. Those two cars just prove the point to the import fanboys that RWD > FWD (wrong-wheel drive) for performance and driving fun.

I'd be all for a sub 3000 lbs rwd coupe for under $20k!

Oh wait i can get one, a late 80's early 90's fox lx. only 225hp but 300 lbs of torque. : )

Subaru and Toyota? So is that a Suboyota, or Toybaru?

Looks like a combination of Lexus IS and BMW 3-Series.

I could not agree more. I would love to see the mustang lose about 1000 lbs for the next generation and really get some amazing performance.

Not going to be 1000 lbs unless they delete the backseat and start building it off the MX-5 platform.

Nissan is a little late, as usual, into this category, they gave up on this facet during the early nineties when thy abandoned the two door sentra SE-R's and the SR20DE motors...

I Love The Design Of The Nissan, Although It's Not An Official Pic From Nissan. The Toyota/Subaru Is A Decent Chop, But A Bad Design in My Opinion. It Looks Like It Was Based On The New Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
