If you look at the 2024 year global car market you can see a decline in many countries with some exceptions Russia, China, India etc. Yes, these numbers combine all models/makes but the bottom line read from the year over year data is that demand declined and manufacturers adjusted their...
I think the side profile looks very good. The front is not my cup of tea, but looks like big front grill designs are now in fashion on BMW, Lexus, Mustang GT500 and other makes.
To be honest I wish they could have taken the EVOs concept into production as it allowed easy entry for the rear passengers. On overall size the EVOs I am not sure, but it may have been smaller then the S650 platform.
I think, Mr. Farley needs to figure out how will the Mach4 design compete with the 4-door charger that will be out later this year. It is larger and roomier then the current mustang. Not sure if the S650 deign can be stretched to the charger dimensions.
This is my third Mustang and I can say the DH is the best of them all. I am in love with the Tremec and the V8. Don't care much about the DH - HP output as my 2011GT Premium had over 400hp and that was OK, but 6 speed getrag and the solid rear axle was a big let down.
When I got my 2016...
It would be great to see the 40,000 number for the year 2025, but given the current political chaos and tariffs my guess is that Ford will be lucky if 20,000 cars sold this year. I think Detroit's big tree are in deep trouble starting next month after reading this link...
If we compare the sales numbers for sports cars with other brands in 2024 the sales are still much better for the Stang!!
Only BMW has higher numbers if you add the two and four series models, but that would be like adding Mustang Mach-E to the mustang number and in that case Ford would win...
Now that we all have in our 2024 Mustang a fully configurable instrument cluster with custom gauges, I was hoping that Ford would include some cute notes on the speedometer like I recall in my 2016 V6 mustang that had a nice note "Ground Speed MPH". I hope in the future they include some...
For those that may not know, but Ford knows.... in 1986 I had the best Mustang with Bosch Anti-Lock brakes and great V8 and the best seats and interior and it was called "Lincoln Mark 7".
Why not make a four door Lincoln based on the S650? That would help increase the sales of the S650...
If there are buyers undecided and thinking about getting a Mustang..........Here attached is a concluding cut page 66 from December 2023 Car&Driver magazine on the 2024 ECO-boost Mustang.
BTW- in October 2023 CD issue had the concluding lines for the Mustang GT ;

For those that have purchased the DH, The 2023 Ward's News Letter (copy attached) I will quote the Author Drew Winter
"Most hardcore enthusiasts can only dream of owning a 500-hp street- and track-focused performance car that also can be a daily driver, but that is what the Mustang Dark Horse...
If your price is locked with the dealer where you ordered the car I would wait until it arrives.
I waited for 5 month to get my DH and it was worth the wait. I am guessing that prices will go up very soon once the tariff wars start and dealers will make sure that the cars they have on their lots...
Yes, the prices are going up, but I purchased my mustang for the V8 and the 6 speed manual. Find me another new V8 American car with 6 speed manual that costs less ?
