Yeah I understood that but I was saying putting it into proper context wouldâve made better sense with performance cars. Thatâs why when Zig was arguing the crew cab and stuff I was like eh itâs called the Mustang Mach 4 though so that âMach 4â part would fit that crew cab designation and go...
Sure. Lol only thing is that argument isnât rooted in any facts. He isnât here, and when he was, Mustang was what it always was. The point you make is one that Alex from Lund always brings up with people assuming what a dead person would do to try and buffer an argument. I could say well itâs...
Argument for that would be Ford calling it a âMach 4â
but honestly what truck doesnât have different door variants? Real question is how many performance cars have those variants today with the same name. So far just the Charger, thatâs been many different things over the years and now itâs...
Well Iâm making the argument because itâs the same thing you stated with a 4 door mustang, looking like a mustang, should be called a MustangâŠ..but a Panamera looks like a 4 door 911 but they didnât name it that. So a performance sedan that looks like a 911 isnât one and is doing well. It fits...
Okay then apply the same logic to a Panamera. Why is it a Panamera and not a 911? Thatâs the argument everyone tries to use. Like you were saying, it looks like a 911 but has extra doors.
if anything the Panamera definitely shouldâve failed without the 911 name.
I highly doubt it, I see a lot of people excited for a performance sedan but hate the name, then a couple people bringing up Porsche and how âPorsche did it with the 911â and bring up the Panamera, Taycan, Macan etc. All different names by the way. đ
Well itâs for 2 reasons but yes the name is not needed. Mustang is a model that was made from the start to be a 2 door sports coupe. Been that way for 60 years. Which @9secondko brought up. Thatâs the formula that created a segment where Camaro was made, even the Nissan Z and Celica. Putting a...
Yeah thatâs why earlier when people were saying âPorsche does itâ they were wrong. If Porsche actually did it, the sports sedan wouldâve been called the â911 Panameraâ but itâs just Panamera.
Porsche did things backwards as far as making performance cars first, they needed to make the sedans...
Someone brought up a good point on YouTube. What IS a Mustang then? They brought up the fact that originally Ford got an opinion from families before the Mustang launch and they knew they werenât the demographic for the car. After seeing the car, the couples were asked if it would be a...
I donât mean it in a rude way either.
Like I said in the end itâs happening regardless if people like it or not. I love Mustangs, you love Mustangs, we just donât agree on the name thing but itâs not that serious in the end. I respect your opinion because youâre a passionate. As long as the...
Itâs too soon to even know if itâs going to work though. That whole company is on the brink of bankruptcy again banking on that car. Charger also historically went through a lot of changes and got axed at one point.
I doubt we would lose it. I mean whatâs stopping them from cancelling the 2 door down the road for the 4 door though? I just think the Mustang is too iconic to just toss. If so it wouldâve been the probe a long time ago when making fwd cars was more profitable. I always expected it to get the...
Didnât Jim Farley backpedal on that though recently in an interview? Saying; âWe will never build a Mustang that isn't a Mustang. For instance, there will never be room for a small, two-row Ford SUV with a Mustang badge stuck on it.â
Just sounds like a crutch to me.
