Ah. Thanks. Then it’s All the more disingenuous then of him to post it. And here it seemed like he was coming back to common sense for a bit. When you have to make stuff up to “prove” your… “point,” you don’t have a point to prove. Toyota is one of the smarter companies out there with lots...

Let’s use current, proven platforms. Not concepts. And EVs are heavy. So that will be the mr2 excuse. Yes it will be fast. But it will be heavier than necessary. We are asking for examples of an suv platform shared with a sports car that is LIGHT.

I think that one looks almost exactly like the mustang 2. The newer Aston’s do resemble the s650 quite a bit.

My last mustang was black. On these cars, I like it when the sharp lines are visible. Personally I think this is the best color you could get. Really shows off the design snd just looks kinda perfect. Light enough to show off the lines and dark enough to be rich. The black accents pop and the...

I was waiting for someone to bring some hereto undortold revelation about a koenigsegg sharing an Urus/q7 platform or something. But… nope. It just isn’t a thing and is an absolutely stupid idea to begin with. CAN you slap a car on an suv platform? Sure! SHOULD YOU? Heck no! Get the heck back...

Dang. Love the color! Probably the first dark horse I really like. Congratulations. I was thinking earlier about the tough times ford has been in with market wishy washy trends and how they’ve been navigating it with the s650. I actually believe the mustang will sell more over the next few...

LOL. I think that last bit is very important. Maybe the criteria should change to “does anyone have an example of a LIGHT sports cars sharing platforms with an suv?” I can’t think of one. I always wondered why bmw underrates its engines, which actually exceed advertised power. Then I...

Exactly. Develop a new MUSTANG platform. Let that be the actual name of the platform itself. Thrn produce the next gen mustang on the mustang platform. Then modify the platform for a cool 4 door with its own name. But still gets to say it rides on the Mustang platform. Then build more cars...

No. The cd6 was brought in after HACKett decided tje call an SUV “Mustang” Originally it was going to be a smaller and lighter platform. Hackett Suuuuuuuuuuucked. Left a lot of crap for Farley to deal with.

Lol. That’s so 2022. Keep up.

Raptor isn’t a brand though. It’s a model tier. Like “GT” Raptor is like the old way when ford would have a car and slap “svt” on it to signify it was a high performance tier. I. E. Focus svt. So not a brand such as mustang, etc. but a model sub brand referencing the trim. I. E. F150...

I don’t care if they make that abomination or not. Just so long as they don’t make the danger thing “mustang” for the love of all that is holy.

I agree and have posted that before. But that’s what ford was putting out there to test the market via social media @lesks.” The point is that ford is looking to do more cars. I imagine that will pick up quite a bit in a few years. Need a new CAR platform to do it right.

Let’s see… a new 4 door high performance sedan ? An off-road car? (See ideas that Ford wanted to do with mustang) Ford has already been talking about wanting to add new cars to the lineup. To use such an old platform would be starting out on the wrong foot, dragging all the metrics down...

They can’t split the tiers. Better to consolidate as much as possible to benefit from economy of scale. Splitting ecoboost from the higher performance tiers would hurt the expense pretty badly. I’d advocate for less models. A base, a GT which is more like a gt350, and a Cobra, which would...

Incorrect. I’m calling for a next gen lightweight mustang. Bang for the buck starts with being light. Light does not equal expensive. That’s some pathetic math. If the Chevrolet Camaro zl1 with all the goods could come in around 3800 on a shared platform, a dedicated mustang platform...

To be fair, the Mustang currently is overpriced. It’s an old, heavy platform. Ford has been saving money left and right in these recycled cars. Making it lighter won’t automatically make it more expensive. It’s just a matter of ford caring. And clearly, well… you know. It won’t get lighter...

The base car is around 3550 and doesn’t come with any meaningful carbon fiber. But this base car is well equipped. The Camaro zl11le is 3837 lbs. That’s supercharged, additional cooling,upgraded suspension,etc. A twin turbo car with 50-50 weight distribution can do better. The mustang...

Yep. Some people pretending to not notice new ICE investments globally. Excellent point about ai. It’s the big thing now. Those data centers won’t play nice with consumption competition.

Only to a degree. Right? Sure it requires beefed up cooling and suspension. But not 4000 lbs worth. That’s why I said it would end up around 3600. Even thst is way heavy for what the mustang shoukd be naturally aspirated in this era. But either way all the performance goods, it shoukd be...
