Why? That just seem like extra cost to people that may not want any of that stuff. That's the beauty of Ford offering so many different "levels" or options, so that those who want them can get them and those who don't don't have to pay extra for something they don't need.
Even if they were to...
I don't think you fully understand the definition of "personal preference". I personally don't get any better driving experience with the manual, so why would I choose it?
I enjoy driving the car left, right and straight and get no pleasure out of manually shifting gears. I prefer the connected...
Honestly I don't think they went through a whole lot of trouble. The Gen 4 is almost identical to the previous generations, it's not a whole new design like back in 2011. Heck, even the Coyote is largely based on the Modular architecture that came out back in 1996. So a lot of the design R&D has...
Man some of these websites are really reaching for straws nowadays for clicks and views. Just because some random car has a matte wrap that automatically means a new model must be coming.
What next, you see an S550 with Shelby wheels and oh snap that means the S650 Shelby is imminent?
I mean if you consider maybe half a carlength to be "faster". Wouldn't really be disappointed by that kind of difference given the other benefits it has over the base GT.
Not really surprising, it has alot of things the GT doesn't. All those coolers, bigger brakes, wider wheels/tires add weight.
The fastest car in a straight line will always be a barebones base model GT with 0 options. No big screens, no coolers, no heated/cooled leather seats etc.
Right, because alot of kids are going to be spending $60k on fancy performance cars. Millennials can barely get out of their parents basement, but they're going to be worried about how much glass their $60k car has?
I think Ford went wrong on this design (eg. following the trend to the T), but...
No they are not going to skip a whole year of sales. 2023 might be a shorter run, but still there. Order banks open in October:

It was probably redesigned in parallel with the design of the new dual throttle GT manifold. They are going with that style of intake vs a big single it sounds like it. So it makes sense that the standard manifold is a similar design to the performance manifold.
It also probably makes sense...
The Coyote engine has had 307 cubic inches of displacement since the 2018 model year with the introduction of the Gen 3. This is no different than the engine that has powered the last 5 years of Mustang GTs.
None of that specifically targets the Gen 3, it's just a general list of issues with it.
Which one of those is specifically for the Gen 3 that the other 2 didn't have?
Care to elaborate on what issues the Gen 3 had in 2018 that the Gen 2 or Gen 1 didn't have in 2015 and 2011 respectively? I'm not talking about ticks or noises that people hear and are annoyed by, more talking about actual issues with the engine that needed to be addressed by Ford after the...
Not sure what coyote you're talking about that went downhill, but in pretty much anyone else's mind then Gen 3 is equal to or ahead of the Gen 2 in terms of any measurable aspect.
Throttle response yes, but top end power? And considerably?
That would mean the engine is drastically different than the Gen 3 in order to take advantage of that much incoming airflow. The OEM Gen 3 intake is pretty darn good as is, with aftermarket intakes not gaining much in terms of power so...
