Ford would have named it the 911-4

Please dont name it with anything Mustang. The Mach E was bad enough.

Perfect analogy at what the Ford marketing Karens would do.

I have no idea how popular or not such a car would be.

A Mustang is a Mustang only if it's a Mustang. Verifying a Mustang is a Mustang is very easy.
1. Ford
2. Various badging, pony, 289, tri-bar, 5.0 , DH, GT500 etc.
3. 2-doors
4. 4-doors (if checked end verification and notify owner they have something just not a Mustang.

Doesn't a base GT start at almost $48k MSRP now? How are they going to make anything bigger and with 2 drivetrains for under $40k?

Watch for advertisements that say something like this:

"Base price $39,949
As shown $53,499"

Right on! The TAXI CAB ECO will be under $40K. Take a look at a loaded MAVERICK...way over $40K

I welcome this actually. What they SHOULD do is call it the Cougar which was a longer wheelbase more luxurious Mustang. But I do understand the Mustang “brand” has global appeal. And based on all the current data showing the 35 and under crowd are done with SUVs and want 4-door sedans, this thing makes a lot of sense.

Cougar has connotations now. Probably would not be a big seller to women.
But young guys may well be drawn to it.

They also claimed the F150 lightning would be under $40k so take it with a grain of salt. A hybrid V8 will be over $60k easily.

A 4-door would be a lincoln esquire not a ford mustang. How many stirrups on that thar bronc?

In Ford jargon it should be called the Bronco sport4, Pinto AWD, Corsair Mach4, anything but Mustang. Leave the girl alone, what ever happened to being original? I know call it FX-Atmos 2, naaaay.

Another EV notice.

About a month into driving my Eco I thought that Ford should build a sedan on the same platform and that it would sell due to Stellantis messing up every sedan they had.

Not to mention financing or leasing from Stellantis sucks. I leased a 200 and had such a bad experience that I ignored Stellantis altogether when it was time to pick a new car.

I think there is a market for a four door sedan using the same platform as the Mustang. I am completely against calling it a Mustang, however. And there is no freaking way they'll have a hybrid power powertrain for under $40k. Impossible. One that uses the 2.3 with the 10R80? Maybe.

Koon's Ford rep just told me their GM went to a meeting in Detroit and Ford notified dealers about it. It's a for real future car

IDK if they can tell you but ask if it was a stretched s650 or something new.

A hybrid 2.3 is def doable for sub 40. Keep in mind the miracle maverick exists. Ford made a great hybrid starting in the low 20s. A hybrid with a shared platform in the high 30s seems acheivable.

It SHOULD be that cheap...
WILL it be? We'll see.
