2.0T 1LE for me. Would make a good AutoX machine. Mustang's chassis just isn't nearly as good as Camaro's.
If back seats aren't important and I don't have to worry about being bullied by pickup trucks, though, I personally think I would just opt for an ND2 Miata, or maybe the 2.4 new BRZ if it turns out to be good.

honda/subaru have much better turbo4 cars if you ask me and still hoping at some point the evo makes a return.

Honda CTR is great but too expensive and still FWD. Hot hatches are their own thing, really. Veloster N looks like a solid alternative to me in that segment.
Subaru? Come on. The EJ25 is an ancient engine that's barely more fuel-efficient than LT1(while making 140 fewer ponies) and it will eat head gaskets when you start modding it and turning up the boost. From what I have heard, the new FB engines aren't too much better when it comes to reliability. It can still have issues with head gaskets. Personally, when one of those engines blows up, it's LS time. I don't particularly hold any sympathy for any bad piston engines.
And you have a better chance of winning the lottery than Mitsubishi giving a crap about their automotive division again.
