I've never even heard of a company retiring a name, if "retiring" is supposed to mean a pledge to never use it again. Ford retired the Maverick name in 1977, then decided to bring it back a few years ago.
After 80,000 miles on my 2011, I still love the way it sounds. Outside of an Italian 12-cylinder or a Shelby GT350's Voodoo, I can't think of any stock engine whose sound I like better.
I believe you are mistaken. Either that, or Ford's website is wrong. If you go to the Build and Price page for the GT Premium and select no options (meaning you have the 400A package), it says the seats are ActiveX. If you select the 401A package, that changes to Leather-Trimmed. If you...
I believe you are correct. And the reason that they say "Leather-Trimmed" and not "Leather" is that they are not leather all the way around. It may be different for high-end luxury cars, but for most mainstream cars, the surface that you are sitting on is genuine leather. The sides and back...

This is the most recent article I have seen on the topic. It says, "The report notes that the Mustang is slated to undergo a refresh in late 2026, followed by a redesign anticipated for 2029." But that was from last August, so who knows?
I haven't seen any clues yet, but I've been keeping my eyes open. When they do the mid-cycle refresh, I wonder if they will leave all the engines as they are? Since the Dark Horse SC uses a supercharged 5.2 V8, I wonder if Ford has given thought to giving the regular Dark Horse a naturally...
Yeah, that's the downside to having a very distinctive-looking car. Even someone who wouldn't know the difference between a Porsche 911 and a Pontiac Firebird can call the police and say, "I saw a car between Dilworth and Glyndon that must have been going 25 mph over the speed limit! I don't...
