On one hand I'd like the build quality to improve on the Mustang, but on the other hand I wonder if that could potentially lower long term reliability should they focus on more luxury features over quality control.
Tangent, I'm still trying to figure out how I went from hating the low-mid RPM...
I'm hoping that if nothing more is said about the "Mach-4" variant this year, the refresh is when it becomes the real deal. I'd also be a fan of an AWD GT coupe for the refresh, hybrid or not.
Hopefully it actually becomes a reality as opposed to the usual market hype speak. What I want to know is if this kind of development, should it be successful, will lower the cost of entry into performance cars like the EcoBoost and GT, or if we'll still end up seeing $40-50K for base EcoBoosts...
As the resident occasional Prius trashposter here, I have to wonder how y'all tolerate me more than RCF. (No, I'm not his alt.)
Guy actually owns a GT for one (as far as I can tell), creates interesting (if clickbaity) threads, and seems to have a liking of cars in general. Since I can't really...
Tangent: I'm just asking because with articles like this...

...it kinda screams "We'll just fix it in post!", like modern video gaming. Why not make a great product that's complete and without...
Sorry, this is AI generated content.
Next they'll tell us they're making a sedan/liftback variant of the Mustang called the Mach-4 that may or may not actually get made...🤪
A question out of curiosity more than anything else...if you want to order your Mustang with Ford Performance parts (exhaust, white taillights, etc.), does that usually take place when you talk to the salesperson about the order or after the fact?
Dang it, I clicked and got baited!
In all fairness I'd probably still be unhappy after finding the answer to that question, let alone earn a million dollars outright.
To his credit RCF hasn't Prius-posted like I have yet. When the "Is the Prius a better representation of American cars and America than the Mustang?" video drops, then we can talk.
(Let's hope we never have to talk about this.)
Maybe this is a hot take, but I think the design of the Challenger represents America better than the Mustang. I don't think anyone looks at it and thinks it looks European or Asian influenced.
I'll ruin that image even more for you, at first glance I thought I was looking at a modernized Toyota AE86 Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno, but with Mustang design elements.
