the same happened with the fiesta ford decided it wasnt cost effective to build a 2.0ltr turbo fiesta rs so we just got the rather tame fiesta st

bring back real cars
1.6 with 190bhp, only 10bhp down and using an engine allready in production, i wouldnt call it fobbed off really

i would as theres no replacement for displacement as the saying goes think of the tuning potential of a the 1.6 compared to the 2ltr they originally planned
