The changes should be only the ones that necessitate change to keep costs LOW. Seat fabric, a Turbo Specific steering wheel, just make it something fun, affordable, and sporty. Only offered in a 2 door hatch. A dual free flow exhaust, and beef up the motor tolerances.
Keep it starting with no more features than a common DE under 15 grand after discounts, stickering no more than 16-17 grand.
Just offer a Sunroof. Then it would be PERFECT.
Kind of like a modern day example of the Turbo Chevrolet Sprint I had from 1993-2010. That car was a BLAST. Simple, too.
