I'm more into IMSA, the Proton WEC team seems to really be struggling with the mustang. A couple of years in, and they've gotten a couple of podiums, but 0 wins, and they're often towards the rear of the pack.
The IMSA GT3 mustang has come alive this season, but the WEC stuff has just been...
I get what you're saying, but both the next gen f-150 and bronco aren't coming out until 2028/29.
I personally believe it's the EVs because those have the strongest motorsports connection, people from F1 directly worked on them, and had heavy involvement, and those are releasing in late 2026...
Which is really weird. I get it, they're familiar with it. But I feel like if my personal car was the same as my work vehicle, I would just be reminded of work all the time while driving it, and who wants that?
But how would we get a next gen raptor when we don't have a next gen f-150 coming for several years, and the raptor often launches years after that?
If it's anything raptor branded, I hope it's that raptor supercar, that would be badass. I just hope it's actually a supercar and not some SUV or...
Yeah the maverick has proven basically all the haters wrong. It's sold super well, it's had above average reliability from day one, it's the cheapest truck to own, maintain, and operate. It has a comparable payload to some full sized trucks like the f-150 raptor.
It's basically the most...
My maverick is used as a truck more than basically any large truck I see, and it makes me chuckle. These modern massive trucks are just idiotic imo. They're so large, and so expensive, that they cease to be trucks.
By that, I mean you see these idiots who buy a 90k truck who don't want to load...
True, but we haven't seen the mustang sedan yet. It could have a redesigned roofline to make it more practical, and appealing to groups like police fleets. The V8 chargers cops have are starting to get old. If Ford came out with a V8 design with comparable interior room to the chargers, I could...
The way I see it, there are a few options for what this reveal could end up being. From most to least likely.
The affordable EV truck for reasons I mentioned, the ties to F1 that has right as Ford's getting ready to enter F1 in 2026. I'd love it if Ford decided to reveal multiple affordable...
My guess is the reveal in January with be the affordable ev truck, likely called the ranchero. When it comes to the motorsports to consumer car connection, Ford has talked about the F1 influence on their affordable EVs, specifically in terms of how they'll look, and their areo, which was done by...
Short term, I could sadly see this being the case, but thankfully, long term, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I do believe the tables are turning when it comes to vehicle size and affordability. For decades, cars just got bigger, more expensive, and more complex. Consumers demanding...
Does anyone want Ford to do what Chevy did with their Corvette concepts? Publicly revealing design studies years in advance and seeing what people like and don't like so they know the best direction to take the mustang in moving forward?
I would love to see some mustang design concepts and for...
I'll be curious to see how this timeline impacts upcoming product design decisions. If the s650 does indeed sunset in 2029, that means the sedan is gonna come out pretty close to the end of the s650's lifestyle. I feel like if it wears s650 inspired styling, it's gonna look pretty dated by the...
Seriously, I know on sites like this, we're always debating generations, designs, powertrains, etc. I understand the varying preferences people have, but I was under the impression that the '65-70 mustang was basically universally loved. Those are the cars that gave us the mustang, and defined...
Hell yeah, love where you're going with this, I could try to sketch up a new mustang inspired by the '69.
As for sound, let's just say we have pretty similar ideas...
There seems to be a lot of love for the fox body and new edge in niche enthusiasts circles. Here's how I feel about that. Taking inspiration from the new edge or fox body for the next V8 coupe would be a massive mistake.
The love for those cars seems a lot more hit and miss than for things...
Because this thread seems to have evolved into a "What do you want for a next generation mustang" discussion. I want the next mustang to basically build on the s650 in terms of design, and engineering, instead of throwing everything out.
Retain the 60s muscle car look, fastback, flared...
Sorry, just to clarify, I just mean whatever generation we get to replace the coupe. I hope it's a new platform, but we'll see where they end up going with it.
A new mustang on a new platform with new proportions is exactly what I want to see. Keep the long hood, fastback, flared fenders, but...
