FYI, Ford was not afraid it would take away Mustang sales, as it was touted as a possible replacement for the Mustang. But Mustang fans complained about its FWD and lack of a V8 (gasp!!!), so Ford created a new model and thus the Probe was born.
And it matters not how good the car performed in calling it a failure. If we are going to judge a product's success not by units sold, profits, increased market share, etc, but only by performance, then you would have to call Betamax a success.
