There's no way they can really wait to see what the next gen challenger has in-store, they're releasing the next gen mustang before the next gen challenger. With how long car development takes, if Ford waited to see the next gen challenger before completing the next gen mustang, it wouldn't...
I don't know, I wouldn't say the designers of the Challenger nailed the design. The front looks great, but when viewed from the side and rear, it has some of the worst proportions of any sports car I've ever seen. Looks like a wannabe pickup truck with how long the trunk is. The Camaro and...
I've always loved what Saleen did to this car, especially when it's in this color. I remember when I first saw what Roush did, I also liked it, but I don't think their mods have aged as gracefully as Saleen's.
I agree, however, the issue is companies don't feel to really change something if it works and is well received. The 911 has looked pretty much the same for 50 years, same with the Wrangler. It's because it works, and if they changed those designs, fans would lose their shit. That being said...
I see where you're coming from. But at the same time, Chris is probably really busy working on the s650 and other projects. So I don't know if he's even watching or responding to Stangmode that often. Unless I missed it, I don't think he mentioned Chris in that vid. The last vid he talked about...
To be blunt, I don't think stangmode knows anything more than we do about the s650. Yes, he knows Ford designers, but that doesn't mean much when they can't tell him anything as a result of their NDAs.
I don't know man, I kinda dig the grille and split headlights. Those headlights are clearly inspired by the '69-'70 mustang. They look pretty neat imo. That being said, I agree when it comes to the rest of the body, it's clearly just an s550 with very mild tweaks. I'd like to see that front end...
I'm digging the front end design of that electric concept shown by Elvis. But the fenders are too bulbous, and the rear end needs work to make it more mustangy.
Looks pretty sharp actually. Idk, sales of a Lincoln coupe, as you mentioned, probably wouldn't be very high. But if they were able to keep development costs relatively low, and had a decent profit margin, it might be worth it. I could see a Lincoln based on the mustang almost going toe to toe...
I mean, with all due respect, virtually every car model released already has an existing version of that model on sale, with so obvious exceptions. I don't believe Ford is holding back on teasing the s650 to preserve existing s550 sales. Virtually everyone who intends to buy a new s550 already...
A little disappointing, but not terribly surprising considering everything was delayed with covid. That being said, it does kinda annoy me that several other brands are open to discussing, and even showing products that aren't even coming out until like 2024 or 2025. Dodges ev muscle car for...
Not to be rude Challenger rt fan, but almost every post you make seems to be negative. You're always complaining about the mustang, or Ford, or forums members, or sharing cynical views. It makes me wonder why you're even here, you don't really seem to be a mustang fan, you almost never have...
That blue sketch is an official Ford sketch that was done for the mach-e. Many of us have noted that it just looks like a mustang coupe,hence why it's been featured so heavily on this forum.
Regarding that vid, interesting stuff. That being said, I don't know if I'd trust what a dealership says based on their "inside sources". Looking at what ExplorerDude has said on the blue oval forums, he describes the s650 sketches he saw as having a more agressive fastback roofline. If that's...
That's crazy twinturbo, last time I checked your fuel prices are insane compared to what we pay in the U.S. We pay about $3.50 per gallon currently, and that's considered expensive by our standards. To put it into perspective, I believe we would have to pay $7-8 per gallon to match the price of...
I'd wait for the s650. Yes, it's a new model, but if it just uses a carry over s550 chassis and powertrains with some tweaks, reliability shouldn't be an issue. Kinda like how the maverick has been pretty reliable out of the gate, because it uses already proven tech. The s550 is a great car, but...
Well, at least in the US, we still have one more day until Christmas, so there's like a 1% chance Ford will show something 😂. I saw Twin Turbos comment, saw the words spy shots, my heartbeat increased by a factor of 10, then I was disappointed haha. Who knows, maybe Ford is showing hot versions...
Based on what Jem has said, the s650 sides and rear should look somewhat similar to the sculpture, with some differences. But the front is entirely different that what's on the sculpture. The grille, again, going off of what they said, seems to be similar to the mach-e gt's "grille" so larger...
Not bad, but I feel like if we grafted the front fascia from the mach-e gt on the mustang coupe. Made the face wider, lower, and a bit more agressive, and then made the rest of the body look like that sculpture, it would probably be pretty close to what we'll get.
As long as it has great proportions, sporty profile, and decent character lines, I'll love it. Wish the front end was more aggressive, but bumpers are some of the easiest parts to change. The profile and general proportions are the most important aspects of a cars design by far, because those...
