:Righty guys, For my transportation design class I have opted to "redesign" the Maverick... Keeping with the original basic ideal (economical yet somewhat sporty, low matainance *stop laughing!*.... you get the idea)
:What would you change about the Maverick if you could? For example, trading the full bench for a split one.... My roomie can't ride in Alice when I drive because the seat has to be so close to the pedals)... How about engines? I don't know what the "newer" model cars have... give me my V-8! I'd like suggestions for basic models, and higher end performance as well... All serious suggestions welcome!
I think it would be nice to see it go to a two seater, weigh roughly 2,900-3,100 lbs., RWD(a must) or possibly AWD, an inline six standard (redesigned 200) DOHC, DI, VCT, twin plugs, VCR, six speed manual standard, 5 speed auto optional, 3.9L(Lincoln LS) V8 optional, future posibilities include: DI, VCT, VCR, and headers should be standard on both engines as well as "Ram Air". IRS and trac-control are also musts. I know some of you may not like my idea, but oh well. I think it would better serve as a Viper/Vette fighter than a Neon/Honda competitor (YUK!). We already have the Focus(which I like), but we don't need another! If you like mid-size performance, lets try to get a Fairlane back into production. We finally got the Marauder! |
