that's it exactly...to ME.
Again though, it does not matter (to me) what Ford calls it, but they need to give it the name that will get the most buyers to look at it, consider it, and most importantly, purchase it. If that is with the Mustang name, so be it. If that's with a different name...
Thunderbird, Torino, Falcon, Mach 4 (not Mustang Mach 4, just Mach 4), Mustang, Mustang II, Mustang XL, Mustang GT-XL, Mustang LX, whatever. Doesn't matter to me.
That said, it's what appeals to the broader customer base that matters, meaning the car buying population. It does not mean the...
Would I buy that car?
YES. 100 percent I would buy that car...provided it had a V8 option. While I personally prefer an automatic, I get there are those that want to row their own, so yes, the manual should be an option.
If the 3.5 TT was the highest performing option (and no, I am not...
1) people love to brag about their cars.
2) The 5.0+Supercharger is something anyone can do, but it's aftermarket. Some will elect to do it, others (even collectors and performance gear heads) won't. That said, the three (3) year 36k warranty from Ford makes it tempting
3) The low production...
ICE - Internal Combustion Engines (in vehicles) are NOT needed for EV tech.
EVs consume power that is stored in the batter/supercapacitors in the vehicle and those are charged by either regenerative braking or from an outside source.
Outside electricity is generated by any number of...
Eventually, the ICE goes away. Yes, battery tech and charging infrastructure is going to be critical to that, but batteries WILL get cheaper and lighter, and faster charging. The tech is already in development and we will learn and engineer solutions. Yes, some might argue that it's the V8...
Not a single problem with that...until Ford came out and said that the 3 series was its competition. If you are saying that, you need to compete with that.
Ford did improve their interior, not enough. Ford quality slipped (which was already not as good).
I have no problem with the mustang...
In my experience, the M340 and (not withstanding the N63 engine), my 550i both had exceptional build qualities. Yes, my engine was PoS and BMW screwed that motor up BAD, but overall, they have been rock solid with very little issues and no fit/finish issues (both owned since new). IMO, they...
I have seen cars that "appear" big on the outside, but are actually quite small on the inside. For example, I do not fit inside the Ghibli (5 series size), Quattroporte, or the Gulia. The 3 series is actually quite roomy inside the cabin and the rear seats are actually usable by adults...
I absolutely DO NOT CARE what the name is. What matters is that the sedan is produced. Honestly, I am shocked that the mustang isn't gone already. 2024 numbers were absolutely horrible and it's been trending down for years. Sharing a platform, sharing costs, etc. is probably the only way to...
The coup needs to remain. I fully agree. I think the 4 door is a way to ensure the coupe remains. Otherwise, current sales numbers do not suggest the current mustang remains viable
How do you save the mustang?
Pricing. Unfortunately, Government has mandated lots of stuff saying "it will save money" and maybe it does, but when cars get very expensive, it starts to price people out of the market. Mustangs are also "summer/good day cars" in many markets, meaning the people...
Going through this myself as my current car (BMW 550) is on the way out the door. Looking at a LOT of options from full electric, to hybrid, to full on dino burners.
1) I can drive the car long distances and still get out and function when I get to my destination. Long distances may mean 800+...
yep, still stock, 4.2s or so.
Again, quarter miles is something most people do NOT do. Racing on the roads is a special kind of stupid and I have no desire to track my car.
I am sure you could beat me on the 1/4, again, I am merely talking 0-60 which is where most people actually use the...
Killing the Mach E and ecoboost will kill the mustang. Neither are contributing to the bad numbers. Not one single person is going...Hey, I want to buy a mustang...OH, I think I will get the Mach E instead. It's a completely different vehicle. The ecoboost gets people in the door who can't...
just put the freaking plate on with the standard ford plate holder or use one of the ones that screw into the tow bracket. just be aware this might block one of the sensors on your bumper
It's a mass market car, not a work of fine art.
If the cops stop you, you are asking for trouble. It...
