a performance trim has always meant a higher output engine in the mustang - usually one specific engine. The svo had a Neanderthal ecoboost, the GT had the 5.0, the ‘03 cobra had the supercharged 4.6, the gt350 had the Voodoo, the GT500 had the 5.2 Predator, etc. the dark horse is a mustang tier...

that would be fine. We have had various thunderbirds over the years with various reasons for being. no need to dump on the mustang name, which has had a continuous, cohesive run since inception as a two door sports coupe.

Ford has this a while back. It was called the mercury marauder. it wasn’t a hit then and won’t be now. No reason to taint the mustang name by slapping it on a new marauder.

no. I mean the jeep and bronco, the batmobile, vehicle voltron, and whatever else you want to throw in has nothing to do with the Mustang, which has a very clear, very specific identity as a cool, slightly rebellious two door sports coupe. (4 doors=old, not cool, not rebellious, not sporty, and...

the thread was over after the video Madnomad had posted. It was pretty definitive. The mustang is what it is. A performant two door sports coupe. It’s not a 4 door whatever or a truck or anything else. let the icon be an icon. Not diluted into a bunch of cruft just to try to sell the cruft...

incorrect. Of course removing the v8 would be a mistake. It’s symbolic of American automotive power. but if the v8 were replsced with 30,000 hp jet engines instead of only having a 6 or 4 cylinder, no one would complain. as that’s not feasible, we have the v8. and yet again, none of that was...

great point. No one ever thought of Mustang as “v8” since it’s had multiple cylinder options from inception. Even the SVO was a top model of its time and was a 4 banger. though the v8 is and always has been the preferred engine and should always be there, it’s not all anyone thinks of and...

Again, the subject is Mustang. Try to keep up. while trucks and SUVS are meant for a variety of purposes, (groceries, Home Depot runs, hauling people around, off-tossing, etc.) it makes sense to have a variety of trucks and SUCs to choose from. Heck, even cars started out with ZERO doors. But...

that’s great. yet we aren’t talking about a slow moving off-roader. a jeep is a jeep. A truck is a truck. a Mustang is an entirely different animal. A very specific one. a sporty look, high performance, and as close to a sports car as you can get without sacrificing all convenience. and...

Meh. No one cares whether EVS THRIVE OR NOT. THEYRE A GREAT OPTION TO HAVE THOUGH. ‘BUT when a hyped SUV falls flat… no make that falls off a cliff, something is wrong. is it because it’s an ev? Doubtful. Is it because it’s an suv - hardly. Those things sell like hotcakes. could it possibly...

A bit late for that. you missed the /thread after madmonads post. It was a while back.

the Mach e is basically a failure. It’s proof positive that naming non-mustangs “Mustang” is a stupid thing to do. makes sense to cancel further development of failed experiments.

said no one ever.

the mustang is a two door sports coupe. a car that has 4 doors is by definition not a mustang. a car can have four doors and be a car. but a particular car that is defined as a two door sports coupe is no longer that particular car when it no longer has two doors. It is now a sedan. and not...

that video was definitive. Pretty much a thread ender. .

thanks for making my point. Mustang is a niche category. SUV is mass market. Yet the Mach e undersells, not even keeping pace with a niche car. last month mach e sold less too. So it’s not getting better.

of anything else than a mustang is called a mustang, it hurts the name and confuses what has always been a clear image. it’s not that difficult. Btw, the mustang 2 was in the same platform as pinto bbut wasn’t one. Just as the Fox mustang wasn’t the same as other fox platform vehicles, nor the...

The Mach e is a good ev suv. And should have its own name. It’s certainly not a mustang and the public don’t see it as such. probably a good portion of the reason it’s not selling despite being an suv.

When anyone in the world hears the term Ford Mustang, a certain image comes to mind. it’s either a historical image of any numbers of two door sports coupes from various eras, or some dream visions of a hot rod two door sports coupe in the future. what doesn’t come to mind is a 4 door sedan, a...

except the mustang is nothing like the charger (a big sedan), a truck, or a friggin jeep. No matter how many mental gymnastics classes you take nothing was ignored other than your continued pretending the facts are not laid out. A truck is a truck. A jeep is a jeep. Simple. Number of doors...
