Stuff like this can actually happen. And it probably will with CAFE having these ridiculous 35 MPG standards within the next 15 years...
I remember that well! Funny but ford doesn't make anything like a Probe so I wonder if the Mustang would have been made on that platform it might not exist any more. The ford 500 (another name from the past) is now gone in a short time as well.
