Sir, that was 25 FULL YEARS AGO. A quarter CENTURY. Really 27 model years.
I have a theory that at some point a young person learns the value of money and what things cost, and that get's set in their mind.
I'm 42. To me, a candy bar or a can of soda should cost 50 cents. Now they're $1.25...
Regarding continuing on the current chassis, or moving to the CD6.
I remember a few years back Ford said hey, these are the chassis we are consolidating ALL our vehicles to.
Focus Chassis/Escape
CD6 for RWD or 4WD passenger cars
Ranger chassis
F-150 Chassis
Super duty Chassis
Combine this...
Meh. I'll stop buying Mustangs when the V8 is not available. I don't care what displacement.
Hear that, Ford? I'll just buy the last V8 and that will be it. Sad.
