True. But we are talking future possibilities. Possibility 1: Make a 4-door Mustang. Possibility 2: Add HP to Fusion. Either would be a change to the status quo. 2 makes more sense than 1 (in my humble opinion).
Looked again, and I see the same thing you posted in the screen shot. Up top, they have a link to Bronco and Mustang respectively. That makes sense from a marketing perspective. They are hot selling models and they want to draw attention to them. If someone wants to see all models, then they...
No objections there, if it's a 2-door, pony car. Drive trains will evolve--remember the Pinto-based Mustangs of the 70s? Much different than slapping horse on a 4-door or SUV.
Just looked at the site. Mustang and Bronco didn't appear to be presented as subsidiaries, like Mercury and Lincoln. Just appear to be links to two of their best sellers (Mustang and Bronco).
No doubt many people will by a V8 Taurus with a pony emblem, which is what it would actually be.
Great pictures!
Yes, the issue is, indeed, the name.
None of the rest of the examples cited are similar: the Panamera is not a 911 sub-model (i.e., it bears a different name). Charger and Challenger have a simple distinguishing feature between them (2-door vs. 4-door), etc. etc.
I get your...
Essentially, if they make everything from SUV to 2-door sports coupe a Mustang, they will be killing off the Mustang. The SUV is as much a Mustang as the 2-door coupe...because they slapped a horse on the grill?
The comparison to Porsche is one of oranges and tennis balls. Porsche is not model...
No doubt the 2-door will still be there, along all the other cars bearing the name Mustang. I guess my humble point of view is that if everything is a Mustang then a Mustang is nothing. Impossible to be all things to all people and still be special in any way. Appears Ford is exploiting the...
Seems like a rebranded Fusion (or modern LTD...Torino...?). First Mach E and now this. If this actually happens, I wonder if there will also be a real Mustang somewhere in the mix or if Mustangs will no longer be Mustangs.
