What a good news it is that they have finally decided to come up with a new sports car- which would neither be Japanese nor German.
Sourced from Austrian newspaper Klein Zeitung, the car blog revealed that the automakers are planning to roll out 60,000 of the two-door annually in 2018. Canadian-owned Magna Steyr will take care of the production.
