I want to apologize for all my complaining about prices going up. The past few years I've been playing with the configurator, spec-ing my dream GT, it's almost always come around to $55K tops, give or take. Still can't afford to get it, but I guess how I'm configuring it is consistent, I suppose.

You're not wrong about the Mustang compared to other vehicles in its segment. I'm probably just stuck in 2019 when a base GT could be had for $35-40K. How the times have changed.

When I think premium, I think back to the '90s when Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth and Ford/Lincoln/Mercury were a thing (I want to say the closest thing we have to this today is Buick/Cadillac/Chevrolet). For this example, Ford is the affordable/mainstream brand, Mercury would've been premium, and...

If we're talking Ford, they need to figure out if they want to be a mainstream or premium brand. Their quality isn't premium and their pricing isn't mainstream (in my opinion). If we're talking Mustang as a brand, keep the coupe, actually make the Mach-4 (ideally call it something else), and/or...

I'm going to ask something that will sound cheeky initially. (TLDR: EcoBoost hybrid or GT hybrid?) Let's say the Mustang gets a hybrid variant, but instead of going with the 5.0 they go with the EcoBoost for whatever reason. Do they make it like an unexpected fun performance paradox of a...

Eh, I'll reserve my hype for official reveals going forward. Between this and the Mach-4, no sense getting excited anymore for potential projects/products.

Interesting. Would you happen to know why the E90 M3 sedan retailed $10K less than the coupe? (besides the sunroof/cf roof)

(shrugs) I gotta prioritize more important things in life right now. Just how it is.

Same, but with an automatic or DCT for me, and I'll be ready to buy one a few years if not decades from now. 🤪

I believe 3.73 is available on GT PP.

As a quick aside, how long do you guys think it'll be until $40K becomes the new "affordable" price point for cars in general? (If that isn't already considered it right now.)

If it's auto, 3:15 should be default and 3:55 should be a standalone option. (I can't remember if the Torsen is PP-exclusive to manuals only or manuals and automatics.)

Have no fear everyone! I'll take care of those dang Mach-4s so that y'all can enjoy the coupes for yourselves! (Unless of course, the Mach-4 gets cancelled, in which case I'll go back to the coupes in a heartbeat. 😅)

2028 for the Mach-4...nice to finally have a potential goalpost to work towards.

I suppose I am one of those weirdly opinionated people then.

Thanks. Like I said earlier today, it'll likely be years, possibly decades until I get a GT or something like it. Being patient has been difficult at times, but ultimately/hopefully it'll be for the best.

Two separate things I'm doing.

How about taking inspiration from the '69 Boss 302? I don't know how to translate the rear-end of this fastback to modern aesthetics, but I think if they were able to make it happen, it could really stand out from the S550/S650. And as much as I love the New Edge (the front end looks like it's...

Almost one year later my plans and priorities have (somewhat) changed. I won't be buying a new car for a few more years because I simply can't afford it right now. But when that time comes, I'll likely be looking at the Mustang GT (S650 or the next-gen equivalent), "Mach-4", or F-150 Lobo if...

Something I noticed when test driving Mach-Es is that when I let off the accelerator in Sport mode, the car slows down a lot quicker than in Normal mode. Is that typical for Sport mode? I just thought it was quirky that Normal felt more natural than Sport in that regard.
