thats the hope. And we should expect better by now. The mustang is Fords enthusiast car. It should be given care as such. Instead, it gets ānewā platforms that are just extended s197 bones. Weād heard for a long time how s650was going to be all new and really swing for the fences. Instead we get...
interesting. Well, Iām glad somebody likes it. We will have to agree to disagree. Iām curious what you like about it to call it āupgrades.ā It seems a downgrade from a design and aesthetic standpoint. Also curious what you mean by refraining from oversized grilled. The grille onthis looks larger...
Dang.
the interior looks like a massive downgrade. Was hoping for something sleek and modern. Instead this was taken out of a 1980ās RV concept.
saw the exterior too. Cannot express how sad I am right now. S660 was an opportunity to reinvent the mustang: ditch retro and embrace the forward...
Another giant grille that serves no purpose?
Come on.
It e mustang does not need this. Ford only opens up a small portion of it for actual cooling. The rest is blocked off.
would love to see for following function in the mustang again. Not some weird attempt at looking like the old car from the...
have to agree. The s550 was promised to be something new. Then it turned out to be an s197 rehash.
but we all bought the line that it was ok because Ford saved money to put into the s650. It was even delayed, so we thought more time was being devoted to an honest all new platform.
Instead, we...
you know what is sad about that?
The s550 is just a worked over s197.
so basically the brand new 2024 mustang is still just based on a car from 2005.
bummer.
been hoping for a true new Mustang platform for too long.
They already made a 4 door (actually 5 with the hatch) mustang. Itās the Mach E. And itās an SUV.
Real mustang is a 2 door 2+2.
no real market for a 4 door mustang sedan.
Aga
again, itās unfortunate that it just looks like the 2015 s550, but less sleek. Not new and nor progress.
āāif this is indicative of where Mustang is going, then it looks to be going nowhere fast.
āhopefully none of this represents the s650.
otherwise we will see a sales repeat on this side...
agreed that newness is needed. but not any newness. The right kind of newness.
yet thatās exactly the issue. There is nothing open or next level about this. It looks just like a Less sleek s550. What would really take the car to the next level is reinventing what a 2020s sports car can be...
The oversized grill thing is pretty lame design. It actually causes problems with aerodynamics and turbulence.
There are other things that can be done with intercooler openings, etc.
Great design happens when form follows function.
Make a great PERFORMING design and form it aesthetically...
Oh heck no.
Yet Another big slab faced Mustang? Just went through 15 years of that. Just looks like the S550 - which bears striking resemblance to the S197.
Next please.
āguess some people need to brush up on modern performance instead trying to put foolish words in other peopleās mouths - whether the moderator ā likesā it or not.
Anyone whose read any of my posts knows that Iām all about moving forward.
a flexible platform... isnāt a focused platform - when...
Letās boil it down:
was: smaller, lighter, faster
now: shared SUV platform
not better.
and thatās a shame.
weāve been through bad Mustang decisions before. We will make it through this too.
But letās not bury our heads in the sand or play make believe about how great this is.
Turbo,
You are always on the bright side. Thatās great. And needed.
But man - would you hire a guy who works on passenger planes to lead work on your Raptor fighter jet?
Thatās the situation here.
And it seems that Hackettās Ford is looking to redefine what Mustang is in the future. Not sure...
The Mach e is a slap in the face.
Hi-po cool suv with its own badge And mustangesque styling? Heck yeah!
Suv call mustang?
Heck no!
Itās as simple as that.
S650 was originally a mustang sports car platform. Bred for performance.
The Musatang was deemed to be so significant that it warranted its own killer platform.
The s650 was to show us what that meant.
Then we got Hackett.
The new 650 Kept the name to smooth over they broken promise and the...
