when all else fails, rely on the ye olā personal opinion and choices. Not going to argue with your opinion or your choice.
hey Iām glad you got the car you wanted. Why in the world you made that decision if not for the convenience, you only know. So congrats. Sounds like youāre happy and...
wrong again. Itās not about doors. Itās about livability. The mustang has storage, 2 extra seats, and a more livable cabin. Price and doors donāt changethst fact. A young family msn canāt justify a vette, but can definitely get a mustang. A single person who wants to be able to take his or her...
Yeahā¦no. And you know it. But I guess thatās your gig.
Your āpointā is the same thing as saying a Ferrari model doesnāt have mustang sales, even if itās a great- selling farrari, so it must not be as good right? Derp. Derp. Itās a niche car. So the niche car has niche sales. But the niche car...
Nonsense. Of course both matter, but not In comparison with each other. Apples and oranges. as the Vette has always been a niche/halo car, its sales will never be Mustang sales. But āfor a Vette,ā the c8 is healthy. And in terms of performance, which matters much to these cars and their buyers...
your response would make sense of the subject were sales equivalency of apples and oranges.
2-seat vehicles traditionally sell much less than 2+2 or 4 seat vehicles, so that wasnāt it. Strike one.
I actually fully qualified my little opinion by comparing the vette with its previous iterations...
pretty much. We all understand Fords justification for not doing much other than basically a mid-gen facelift. But they had to go and get stingy and lie to everyone, calling it āall-new.ā LOL. And then charge more.
itās crazy how āplaying it safeā is often anything but. Either you have vision...
the c8 had a big moment because it completely rewrote the performance handbook, doing far more than ever with what it had to work with. And the price was phenomenal. It wasnāt about the looks, which were polarizing (but I personally love), or the interior tech, or a badge and sticker show. It...
Itās not that having expectations is the problem.
There is a difference between having reasonable and unreasonable expectations.
but more was expected of the ā24 plus generation due to numerous reasons:
1) we were constantly told to expect a brand new, Mustang-specific platform. We didnāt...
min expecting the badge and sticker show (possibly with some small interior trim changes like the 40th) for mustangs across the board. Not much more than that.
The demo event is something that is similar to devious events not related to any anniversary, so thatās kind of a wash.
but if there...
Thatās it? Another event? This is the big 60th anniversary deal weāve been waiting for?
please have more in the pipe. Idk, something related to an actual car you can buy?
heck, a 60th anniversary FP tune package would be great.
manās neither are you the final arbiter. But hey, personal opinion is noted. Itās all opinion. However, when it comes to spending 70k, Iām going to want plenty more for my car.
The OP noticed evidence that there isnāt much demand for the dark horse. And some of us who are honest about it have...
As I said before, the DH should have been the GT. Itās simply not at the level of āspecialā we expect a higher trim mustang to be at this stage.
I certainly donāt want to pay that kind of money just for essentially a performance pack gt with an uglier fascia and a sticker package.
Most anniversary packages are badge and sticker shows. Maybe another paint and interior color option.
not really exciting, but glad the Mustang has made it 60 years. Hereās to another 60.
The dark horse is ok. Itās basically a GT performance package. The dark horse actually seems like it would have been the successor to the GT, but Ford decided to squeeze its customers for a few dollars more by calling it a new model.
If you want a car to be excited about, wait for the...
I feel like we are saying the same thing but your focused on the pros and I on the cons.
theyāre not mutually exclusive points. I dig the screens actually but not other parts of the interior and I mostly like what Ford did on the outside, but I like it as a refreshed s550. Not a supposed āall...
which is a slightly gussied up gen 6 which is a gussied up gen 5.
a new platform costs money? No kidding. Itās called an investment. Ford has saved more than its share over the last twenty freaking years of mustang. People arenāt as excited for another little change to a very old car. They want...
