WRONG. You could get a 200ci I6. *Inline*, not V. My Dad had one.

In what respect? Have you ever driven a Probe? I drove one for 18 years before getting my Camaro. Ford was afraid it would take sales away from the Mustang, for good reason, and that was its only failure. Even with a 2.5 V6 it was a beast. There is more to a car than straight-line acceleration. If I could buy a brand new Probe I'd swap my Camaro in a heartbeat. It was the best balanced, best handling car I have ever owned in 40 years of driving.
