I agree. If there are no other new car options, a lot of people will buy EVs. But we are not "most people". I've done engine swaps, rebuilt engines and transmissions, converted a carbureted car to EFI (without a kit), and done a lot of more minor things as well. Personally I would be...

IMO the people buying Mustangs in general are not the people who want EVs. Heck, if you want an EV right now you can buy one. You can even buy one with the little pony on it. I think Dodge EVs will fall flat and Ford is smart to delay a conversion as long as possible. I know that in the past...

No I'm not. I'm also not confusing engines and motors, either.

GO carts are ICE. Golf carts are EVs. I agree Go carts are fun, but golf carts are not. You might not care about the transmission. To me it's very important. It's the difference between feeling like my soul is being drained from me or slowly destroyed vs. actually enjoying myself. I think...

Then they will probably never get my money. It's not difficult to put a manual into an EV. I realize it doesn't make sense from a performance standpoint, but I don't buy cars based on that. I LIKE cars. I only want to buy a FUN car. If they can't be bothered to make their car fun, they...

The front view looks good and the rear might be ok. Side view is kind of ugly. I agree it's cool that they are at least trying something different. It still needs a manual transmission and the right price.

Yeah I expect car companies are going to have a lot of problems here in the US if they switch over to EV too quickly. I think if I owned a car company right now I would sell. And especially Charger/Challenger - I don't really think the people who buy those cars and the people who want fuel...

Yes the 5.7 is pretty bad for a relatively big V8. Yes, and when cars became affordable, people decided they were better than horses and bought cars. I agree before cars became affordable horses had a better value proposition. Just like right now I think ICE vehicles have a much better value...

I doubt that is true. Most probably wanted something better and cheaper than a horse. You may have never had to deal with horses. I can assure you it's not a lot of fun to feed them and clean up after them. And they can't travel very far or very fast. It takes too long to "refuel"...

I will be fine with someday buying an appliance to get me to and from work. If I were marketing that type of vehicle, I wouldn't put a name on it. Just a model number. And any styling efforts would be minimal. Just make the thing work at the lowest possible price point. Like a refrigerator...

Dodge shouldn't dirty the Challenger (or Charger) names by putting hybrid or electric drivetrains in them. I'm not a big Dodge person, but I like what they've done in the last 10 years or so. It's really a sad day when great cars are turned into appliances.

I think Bronco is a good nameplate as well. And really the Explorer has a solid reputation. They maybe aren't exciting to us, but still good nameplates in my opinion.

If Ford produces something I like and that I think is quite a bit better than my current Mustang, I might buy (depending on price). I want the Mustang to be good/competitive. Not just a Mustang in name. Ford needs to work hard to earn our dollars, not take for granted that they are going to...

I agree with you. I have no problem with Bronco doing it because SUV = SUV makes sense to have a slightly smaller and less capable version of the Bronco. I would love it if they made a Mustang II front engine RWD with a 350 HP EB four cylinder that weighed about 2800 lbs. That would totally...

Because it's symbolic of a lot of current problems. And they had to call it Mustang rather than give it a good name. And then they even put tri bar tail lights and a pony on it. This porky, jelly bean SUV with four doors and a stupid pony on the front. It changed my mind about the entire...

Thank you for the great renders Chazcron! I don't love the look, but I think it might be accurate. I usually take a while to warm up to new designs, so I may eventually like it. I'm really hoping that Ford will produce something mechanically great. Even if the looks aren't terrific - I'm a...

Hopefully they will do more than just that! Nothing wrong with it but your hopes might be a little high. You should plan a few extra (optional) things to do that day maybe. Just in case.

I'm sure those of you that want a Prius Mustang will get it before too long. Hybrids are definitely coming. I'm crossing my fingers for a performance version of the 7.3 with a manual transmission behind it. That would interest me, especially if Ford gets the weight of the car down a little...

And collectors thinking those are the best cars and that they need to be preserved.

I was just thinking about the 1994 cars that IMO didn't look that great. And the refresh after that in 1999 wasn't very good looking. 2005 was pretty good at the time and I liked 2010. Well here I'm talking myself around to agreeing with you. The last 3 new designs were all decent in my...
