Re: Should ford resurrect the Ford two seat Cobra

Ford is far from out of the woods and I don't think that there is room in their "way forward" plan for cars like this. They have refocused on cars and dumped Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Land Rover. I hold very little hope for either of these cars especially since Ford does not currently produce a single car to meet the 2015 CAFE standards. A gas guzzling super car seems to be the farthest thing from their minds right now. That being said, I love the GR-1 and even the Cobra has grown on me over the years since I first saw the concept. I would love to see either one of these at a local dealership but, realistically, I don't see it happening.
