US Sales, Jan 1 - Jul 31, 2024 (source - Good Car Bad Car) Mach-E: 26,826 Mustang: 30,653 I'm more bothered that it ignores the actual state of Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Unless people want the random 4+ week downtimes to continue, it needs to build more cars. If market research says a pony...

Is it high school kids doing donuts in a mall parking lot? Well, that and the 2.5L hybrid AWD from the 2025 Maverick. The bulk of these are not going to be sold with Coyote engines, that fanbase is (mostly) loyal to their proper 2-door Fastback Sports Coupe. That said, there's probably some...

Even "coupe" doesn't mean 2-door. Coupes were small versions of full coaches in the horse-drawn days, they were "cut" (french "couper") shorter. But if we're getting to that level of pedantry it's worth mentioning purists are arguing for the Fastback (1967+) not the original Mustang coupe. EDIT...

The MagneRide Ecoboost Convertible was competitively priced compared to the cars I was cross-shopping. It's also easy to get maintenance versus an exotic car, so for a daily it was the best fit.

Iacocca was responsible for the K-platform, he pioneered shared platforms and cost-cutting. He was also essentially the inventor of government automotive bailouts and long-term auto loans. That's historical fact. Everyone trying to pretend the Mustang, a vehicle offered day-one with an...

Chat doesn't know anything, while your car is being built ("in production"), chat will give you nonsensical dates. The part backorders affect scheduling, but the cars on the line already have parts allocated. I'd suggest checking with the dealership next week, they'll have a more accurate ETA soon.

Because it's called Mustang. There's a big segment of buyers who want a Prius that doesn't look like a Prius. Assuming that Ford can deliver the 2.5L Hybrid variant of the Mach 4 at or under $40k? Yeah, it's going to print money with general consumers who don't care about track performance...

This isn't an argument, it's more of a therapy session. The purists have always been misguided in trying to make a vehicle with a ThriftPower engine and SelectShift transmission into a "pure muscle car". The Mustang Mach-E continues to pick up in sales, and in a few shorts years you'll see the...

You're arguing with structuralists. These are people who are trying to rewrite history to make the Mustang a "2-door coupe". Lee Iacocca just wanted a sporty car aimed at younger buyers. Up until the 1990s, affordable cars were 2-door to save money. Building a 4-door Mustang with a 2.5L hybrid...

If you have a subwoofer, you have the B&O system. It's not hard to upgrade the subwoofer. The other speakers require pulling some trim, but if you're going down the audiophile rabbit hole you're doing that anyway because of the need to install additional sound deadening.

Similar wings cost around $900. Proper installation for the larger wings might run you $250 ~ $300, they need to spend some time lining it up, punch holes, sand, rustproof paint, apply sealant, then install, so it's worth looking for a good installer.

If they make a Mustang LSV (road-legal golf cart), I'd buy one in a heartbeat. A mini-Bronco would print money, corporate campuses and universities buy fleets of low-speed work trucks. I like the e-bike but putting a bike rack on the Mustang convertible would be a bit of a hack job.

They're looking for industrial espionage, not tourists. I'm assuming they were touring Wolfsburg. There's a large state police station (Polizei Wolfsburg-Helmstedt) just over the bridge South of the factory. They involve police for those incidents. EDIT - Sorry, looks like it's Stuttgart, so...

Ford patented a system where their police cars link together and automatically work as traffic cameras.

Yes, but only with the Performance Package. The 2025+ Ecoboosts don't have the option from Ford, as all future performance EBs will be from RTR. I suspect S650 rental-spec EBs can't go into full "TC off" drift mode because the computer won't allow it unless it's been equipped with the Brembo...

I'm assuming Ford follows EU compliance, which has zero margin for showing a lower speed than the vehicle is traveling, but allows for it to display a higher speed.

The engines, transmissions, seats, wheels, infotainment, and some body panels being shared definitely reduces costs. Also important: splitting the fixed costs. Research, facilities, machinery, salaried engineers, property taxes, maintenance. If FRAP was running two shifts instead of one, all...

Excellent! Chat was definitely clueless: if they didn't have all the parts at the start of your blend date, it would never have gone on the line, your order would have been delayed instead of going to "in production".

Yeah. The main 'stang and the mock 'stangs

Looks good!
