In OTL the rise of the Hot Hatch segment in Europe from the 1970s-1980s+ caused sales of front-engined RWD coupes like the Ford Capri and Opel Manta to decline to the point they were replaced by less than adequate models such as the front-engined FWD (2nd gen) Ford Probe/Cougar and Opel Calibra.
What-If however GM Europe instead sought to indirectly replace the Opel Manta with a mid-engined sportscar akin to the Pontiac Fiero from the late-80s to early-90s, powered by 136-156+ hp (up to 201+ hp) 2-litre DOHC GM Family II and 168-244+ hp 2.5-3.2+ GM 54-degree V6 (or less likely a Euro-adapted 157-202+ hp 2490-2986cc DOHC version of the GM 60-degree V6) engines?
