Default A descent Ford sports car?

Well my sister has been in Europe for about a month, and whilst she's been gone, i've been driving her Toyota Celica on the odd occasion (shh). I've no idea on these cars at all, but I do know it's a pretty much standard '98 model, and that's about it (no GTS type of thing or whatever they are).
What I also know, is that it kicks the crap out of every Ford i've owned or driven (including BA/BF and AU's) in terms of handling and feel on the road. You can throw this thing into any corner any which way you wish and it sticks without fail.

So it got me thinking, I know Ford has, erm, tried, with the Cougar and what not over the years. But I was wondering what people on here would think if Ford made a descent sports car/coupe. Something to go with the celica's and supra's etc.

Would you buy one? I'm not talking big Falcon coupe either. Something that could use the smaller Ford cars turbo engine's or even duratech like the cougar that has power and economy. Something front wheel drive and small that hugs the road.

Just interested..
