Vehicle Highlights
Redesigned for 1993, Ford's front-drive Probe again emanated from the same Michigan factory as the Mazda MX-6 and shared that car's chassis components. But each coupe is uniquely styled. Probe is a sleek 2-door hatchback, whereas Mazda's MX-6 is a 2-door notchback coupe.The Probe's wheelbase grew by four inches, overall length by two, but interior dimensions changed little. A driver-side airbag was standard. Base Probes carry a twin-cam 4-cylinder engine; GTs, a 2.5-liter V6. All-disc brakes bring the GT to a halt, while base Probes employ rear drums. Antilocking was optional on both models.
