Don’t believe everything you read/hear. It’s all marketing speak. Ford only has two names worth anything. F150 & Mustang. Well the “F” is only for trucks so what else did they have for EV’s? Well, Mustang. They decided take a model and make it a brand. Much like Ram. So now we have two...
I’m not sure you understand the reasoning behind Fird using the Mustang name for the Mach-E. The Mach-E is not a Mustang, it’s not supposed to be. The name was used to extend the brand into other vehicle types. The Mach-E natural competitor is Tesla. Not to far down the road there will be a...
No vehicle is profitable right out of the gate. Development costs far exceed the profit that can be had even if production was unlimited. We know that hasn't been the case since the start of the pandemic. And let's be honest here, the F150 profits underwrites the entire corporation.
But if...
I totally agree. All "sources" start out by being green. It's in the production of those sources where things get difficult & confusing. But as I have said numerous times the shift away from fossil fuels had absolutely nothing to do with going/being green. Back in the seventies, as it is now...
There is absolutely zero indication that Ford is seriously looking at a third power source anytime in the foreseeable future. We have ICE, electric, & hybird. Anything else you see is just speculation. Now you stand a much better chance with AWD, at least on a hybrid or pure EV. But that will...
The bans which were announced are at the state, and not national level. They are also not locked in stone so who knows.

As are as the S750 no one knows. If there is one, and the...
Matt, keep in mind that @IceGamer is from the other side of the pond. They see things differently. We grew up on V8's. Our overseas brothers and sisters grew up on small 4 and 6 bangers.
The good news is that on the S650 we will still have the choice. Take your pick and enjoy whatever you get.
And, unfortunately, the changes in the worlds landscape means that this will never happen. At least with a V8 RWD 2 door coupe. We’ve had a great run at 60+ years but it’s coming to an end. Sad, but true. :crying:
So do I. But we know that's not happening. Ford is going to do whatever is most cost effective. This is not a high volume vehicle so there is be no investments in anything special at this point. Honestly we should be grateful we are getting a S650. What we may or may not get with a S750 is...
I think we are all getting way to far ahead of ourselves. We should continue to be concerned about what the S650 will be. Plenty of time to discuss the S750 when M8G comes out.
The EB and NA V8 are already confirmed for the launch of the S650. A V8 hybrid is unlikely so expect to see a V6 hybrid added at some time.
As far as the Mach-E is concerned Ford has already gotten their monies worth by using the Mustang name. Could the success of the Mach-E give Ford the idea...
Well that certainly isn’t true. I bought my 15’ EB as a daily when I was traveling 75 miles a day for work. I was 63 at the time and could certainly afford a GT. It was a personal choice. Denigrating someone for not buying a V8 is not a good look.
Alright, the hat trick. The young, the...
