Why? Cos if FPV folded some other company would get in to do performance vehicles for Ford and oh my they might get something right.

I think that's a little harsh. I hope they really succeed next year with whatever they're doing with Orion.

I don't think they've done so badly in the last 4 years. I guess they've been hamstrung with their cost structure (building engines where volume today is probably MUCH lower than the original business plan numbers 4 years ago - XR8's not selling much at all).

I think it would be best for them if they could just bring-in an engine in a crate (ala HSV) and slip it into the GT instead of assembling it here.
