Thanks for the pics! I don't think these are mules, if they're the real deal? Usually those are just off-the-shelf and slapped together.

I think we all have a blindspots when making such statements, as there are so many examples as to why in that respect. I grew up well, but adjacent to that upbringing I've made a hell of a lot of bad financial decisions because of cars and my unchecked expensive taste, biting a very bitter pill...

I'm realu sorry about that, I might have mixed up the original March 1964 photos or some silly journalist probably just used them as a substitute of some sort and I took the bait. I saw 1966 for certain somewhere via reverse image search and almost hesitated, but it wasn't labeled for these...

And just to reiterate, if Bill Ford wasn't there, some CEO would have eventually messed up the nameplate or outright replaced it with a CUV by now. Hackett more than anything, because he wanted to cancel the coupe most likely and made S650 into a compromise, instead of the all new car both Mark...

I am seeing S650 replacement on the same platform in 2029 as the EV Explorer and second generation Mach E. GE2. Ford would have to extremely overcompensate, by designing the car to exotic levels. As the loss of a V8 would be more extreme, due to the associated character of the vehicle in...

I am still skeptical of that April 2023 reveal, because although things can change, media said the same stuff about the S550 and boy were they wrong. December 6th had no significance to Ford and yet they chose it anyway as a reveal date in 2013. 2010 Mustang was revealed in September 2008...

Sorry about that public complaint, as I'm sure it doesn't help with moderating and keeping the peace, which I know you've done your best across these two forums for a good decade. I just had to be a bit honest, since I was beginning to notice although all of us are excited, 1 or 2 of us need to...

Yep, Josh is probably the best out there, in terms of his predictive skills and artistry. I hate Carscoops because of their Russian dashcam video obsession, but Josh is the rare exception.

Well stated. You always "stay busy" on M7G and it's good you help keep the forum alive.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

:facepalm:

There is no S650 EV and I don't think one was ever in planning. The reveal date is just some hearsay, which hasn't been confirmed. The Job 1 date is internal.

Sorry about my late response, but CD6 Mustang wasn't in development very long I imagine. Maybe at most 1.5 years, so design was never completed and save for "X" mules, there was no real testing done. It was a cynical move by Hackett to dumb it down, to demonstrate he "meant business" and play...

The reveal probably isn't accurate and just hearsay. It was never a 2020 model, as back in 2014 at the time of S550 launch, it was earmarked originally for the 2022 MY. It was then pushed forward 2 years by Mark Fields administration in early 2016, to May 2020 Job 1, in feeling the heat from...

He doesn't pen anything anymore. Maybe not since the 2000s or 90s. His role at Ford since the late 2000s, it's vague. J Mays stepped down in January 2014, right after he revealed the 2015 Mustang on December 6, 2013. However since 1997, he hasn't had any involvement. Per some research, J Mays...

I don't comment as much anymore, because due to the latest excitement with S650 news, a lot of fallacies and problematic claims have become a bit too common, for me to play whack-a-mole I wouldn't say ripped off, but maybe took inspiration? (LOL) My cousin pointed this out to me, in his belief...

No, not at all. The Mach E design was frozen 4 years ago and defined in general styling before that around late 2017. New-S650 barely got underway exactly 5 years ago, but designers probably got to it in 2018 and then worked on it until 2020. Old S650 (CD6) paralleled the Mach E, being due for...

This is the final interior design, but not production textures and finishes. It has been said for more than 2 years now, it does not use a new platform. The Fusion is not a good comparison, as Ford only lost interest in it during 2017, already after a 5 year run and MCA refresh in early 2016...

That isn't true, read what you uploaded. Only one mention of 2022 as a MY in fact in the PDF and the rest of it refers to 2023 MY. This is now vague based on typos, if not deliberate.

It's from here. Ends December 31st...

Hmm, I dunno about that. The S650 was rebooted and still redesigned upon knowing it would come to market much later than 2020. The original design would've been approved in late 2017 parallel to CX727 Mach E, but instead that final approval became the year of 2020. Those Mach E proposals are...
