I wonder if these massive reductions are being financed in part on the backend by Chevrolet. That’s a large nut for a dealer to eat. But regardless, this is not good news for us Mustang guys. The pundits keep pushing how Chevy’s done such a great job spending god no what on the C8. And now the...

I think someone spiked your coffee this morning. The number one complaint against today’s Mustang is its high cost. And you think a more expensive one will sell. I’d love to see something along those lines but who do you believe the customer for this will be. And what about cost? Would people...

The fact that the title presumes we as customers can do anything to save our car is based in fantasy. And that’s fine. We can all hope, pray and dream. But reality checked itself out the of door.

A short story on market pricing and profit margins. Way back in my late 20's I worked for a super high end audio store (video wasn't a thing them). We had just received a new moving coil cartridge that was being hailed a the best in the world. Since we had an exclusive to it we could price it...

Agreed. The current S650 V8 will most likely have one mid life refresh and that's it. After that we will most likely have a Mustang but not in a form that most on here would be willing to buy. But I'm guessing the masses could possible eat it up.

You've just made his point. We are just a small part of the global market. And by the way the remaining sedans sold in the US, Camry, Accord, etc. actually do quite well.

BMW's are historically famous for underrating their horsepower numbers.

Of course, I get that, but. The car costs what it does. It not changing, at least as far as it going lower. Ford is totally aware of what it is doing. Sales are what they are and Ford seems ok with it. The rest of it is just fat for us enthusiasts to chew on.

Thanks. I missed that in my post. Some folks think only the US matters.

You beat me to it. A totally irrelevant piece of information. My ‘15 EB was faster.

Honestly, who gives a crap? We are not manufacturers, we are not retailers. We are consumers. Profits and margins do not apply to us as we have no control of them. The discussion of them is totally irrelevant.

My car is currently valued at around $30k. A 2025 replacement would be $63k. The difference of $33k is what my ‘15 Ecoboost Premium stickered for. That’s why I’m keeping it.

1. Maybe in South Dakota but the overall economy is doing just fine. Just look at overall car sales. Eggs are up due to reduced production caused by bird flu. Please do your homework before posting inaccurate information. 2. Ford’s record for quality has been spotty at best. Some S650 owners...

Same price, $73k, as a Dark Horse for the dual motor version. I would like to drive one. Looks like fun.

I totally agree with you on that. Was at my dealer today for an oil change and was discussing the price issue with the GM & sales manager. My ‘19 GT/CS has just over 16k miles on it and runs beautifully. I bought the extended warranty just in case. I like the S650 but not enough to plunk down...

Were any of you here in 2014? The difference in price between the S550 EB & GT was $10k. Nothings changed in that regard for ten years. That‘s what is was and that is what it is. And it most likely will remain that way until the GT is killed.

I'm going to be 73 in a couple of months and this will most likely be my last new Mustang. I just cannot justify a S650 at this point. I'm thinking of possibly going vintage, '69/'70. We'll see.

We are not that far off from seeing a lithium repacement. 500 mile range with just a few minutes to recharge are closer than you think.

Even if they dropped the price $20k on a loaded GT Premium, which of course they won't, sales will never grow to the point of the car be self sustaining. Selling more cars will not save the Mustang. There are way too many other forces in play that will eventually take our Mustang away.

Wow, you are certainly in a very small minority. But I don’t disagree. I’ll need to see it first. 👍
