  1. Do we think Ford is going to make an S650 GT500/Cobra?

    The next gen mustang seems like it's gonna keep the V8 and Ecoboost powertrains around, but will likely have to use hybrids. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, hybrids can be incredible performance cars, remember the McLaren p1 and la Ferrari are hybrids. So it can make driving even more fun...
  2. Do we think Ford is going to make an S650 GT500/Cobra?

    The best solution would be to find a way to get some sort of scale back on your side. Based off what I've heard, the mustang needs a new platform to do the things Ford's CEO wants to do, like shed a lot of weight, and make a sedan on it. I find that likely considering Farley has said they're...
  3. Do we think Ford is going to make an S650 GT500/Cobra?

    Realistically, it's not what enthusiasts want to hear, but unless the mustang becomes an EV, this is just our reality. Gas cars are gonna become far more expensive than EVs long term, it's already starting to happen with things like the mach-e now dropping down into the 30s, and even more...
  4. Do we think Ford is going to make an S650 GT500/Cobra?

    Yes. Dealers reported seeing a higher performance mustang in a dealer meeting alongside a mustang sedan and off-road mustang. They said it probably won't have Shelby branding, but it's basically the same thing as a gt 500 just by a different name based on how it was described.
  5. Ford is done making boring cars

    If you find something that works, that people find really appealing, I argue it has no end date. The 911 has looked basically the same for 50 years now, and still resonates with people. The design cues associated with the 1960s define what the mustang is, massive hood, fastback roofline, really...
  6. Ford is done making boring cars

    I disagree strongly. The mustang is a pony car, it needs to keep that look. The look comes before areo imo when it comes to cars like the mustang. Ideally, the car would get a bit longer, or at least have a longer hood, and a longer dash to axle ratio in particular, the distance between the...
  7. Ford is done making boring cars

    This is another example of the kind of direction I'd love to see mustang styling go in. Words can't express how much I love the styling on 1960s mustang fastbacks. So something like this would give me maximum fizz. Every segment of cars has that golden era. With muscle cars, it was the 60s...
  8. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    They kinda did a modern version of that with the Vision GT concept. I'd love to see a production version of this if we're trying to do the whole high style, high price approach.
  9. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    QUOTE="Gregs24, post: 3319721, member: 36781"] Absolutely no chance - they don't have a V12 and certainly nobody is developing anything like that now other than for extreme niche products. They have a supercharged V8 but they were all dropped from Jaguar's a while ago. There is no future in...
  10. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    It's a good strategy on its own, but the timing is just off. If Jag had transitioned into this more expensive brand gradually, I don't think it would upset people as much. But to go from a brand selling 50-80 grand cars to a brand suddenly selling 250k cars is gonna be a huge shock to the brand...
  11. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    Ideally let's steer this discussion away from the controversial marketing and have a question that directly ties into the cars and product strategy itself. That was what I was criticizing, not the marketing which I can take or leave. I couldn't care less about things like the rainbow raptor, the...
  12. This 60th Anniversary Mustang

    This color strikes that perfect balance of being unique, but timeless. But some people don't exactly have good taste.
  13. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    There seems to be some misunderstanding here. You seem to believe I'm saying I don't like you discussing political and social issues. To clarify, my post wasn't about you, or anyone else on this site. When I say I don't like things going in this direction, I'm talking about how I don't like...
  14. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    Apparently Jag is going the 'Screw sales volume, maximize per unit profit' route. I just don't know if it'll work for them. Is that 300k Cadillac flagship sedan on sale, and if so, is it doing well? That's gonna be the one to watch. Cadillac has more heritage of world class luxury than Jaguar...
  15. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    I'm sorry, but as a communications graduate, I have to say taking the "There's no such thing as bad publicity" approach to marketing is a terrible idea. That quote about publicity and how it's never a bad thing is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in the business world. If everyone is shitting...
  16. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    My stance on it is I don't like seeing things get political and forced regardless of the direction. I have gay family members and friends, so I can say gay people in my experience are some of the nicest people you'll meet. But I still don't like seeing lifestyle choices brought into marketing...
  17. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    Agreed. We'll see how many of these unfamiliar designs are actually visually appealing. Ford's CEO said these upcoming affordable EVs look nothing like the Ford's people expect due to how radical the areo is, and he doesn't know how everyone will react. That could be a really good, or a really...
  18. Wtf is Jaguar doing?

    No, I don't mean with their most recent marketing campaign either, marketing choices good or bad don't really impact how I view the final product. But just look at this design, what the actual hell Jag? Here's the thing, I understand Jag wants this to be a 200-300k sedan, they've said they're...
  19. After two months of ownership...

    They're working on a mustang sedan so that should be a good solution for people who want easier access to the rear seats and more space. I actually hope once this mustang sedan comes out we see mustang adopt a 2 seater more exotic shape.
