johnh875 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I think the 2 components of the cheap coupe market have separated slightly - people after a fast car back into hot hatches, and people after a stylish car into the coupe convertibles - which with a rebadge and perhaps slight restyle are basically all different enough from their base to become a separate model. The industry seems to be a bit more cutthroat now too, which would make a robust, profitable business case for these cars a bit more difficult to achieve. I'm talking about the last 5-10 years here too, not just the current climate.
