Motor Trend tested an Esperante this year and said that next year's production Esperante will use some carbon fiber for its chassis which will boost rigidity and drop an estimated 100 pounds. They also said that sketches for the Esperante's replacement look "voluptuous."
I hope that car will use the 5.0 liter DOHC V-8 that is used in the new Mustang in Grand-Am Cup.
