Personally, I’m not as opposed to a 4 door Mustang as I am to the Mach-E because it’s much easier to make a sedan sporty and performance oriented than a damn crossover. But it at least shows that Ford is looking to split “Mustang” into its own brand and create a diverse portfolio out of it. But...

Interesting... an ex-GM designer now head designer of the Mustang. Considering GM’s designs in the past 10 years or so and the current theme of automotive design, makes me think the next Gen Mustang might not be quite the looker than the S550 is

Man, I really hope the next Mustang looks like this... because my Mach 1 will continue on being more desirable and would probably hold its value better lmao I really do think we’re just reliving Mustang’s past. The S197/S550 were like reliving the 60s... absolute world-beaters in performance...

I really want to get a better look at the CD6 rear suspension setup. I keep hearing how it’s so similar to the S550, and to me, that’s not a plus. I’d much rather see the Mustang move to a coilover-based rear suspension and better LCA mounting positions. That rear end is really where the Camaro...

I’m waiting to see what happens with S650. Welcome changes would be double wishbone front suspension, better rear suspension geometry (Ditch those LCA mounting points and divorced spring setup), rear transaxle, and of course, less weight. If they do at least 2 of those things, I could see a real...

Hell, even at that, Ford didn’t “invent” the pony car. Ford wanted a sporty compact car with styling taken from European grand tourers since we didn’t really have them in the US, and that’s what gave us the Mustang. It was always intended to be a European-styled Grand tourer, but the press...

Ahhh great, Mustang is about to join the “obnoxiously oversized grille” club... :eyeroll: Edit: strange that Admin edited out my “thanks China” remark... it’s pretty common knowledge that ridiculous oversized grilles are the direct result of a growing market in China and their love of these...

Like I've said before, I really do think more people like the 18 MCA more than those who dislike it. It's just that those who dislike it talk louder. Like Twin Turbo said, the same thing happens every single update... the general public likes it, the owners of the previous gen hate it, and the...

Those panel HUDs are what fighter pilots use... would fit more with the "Mustang" theme anyways

Ahh, nope, I think I interpreted that one wrong... maybe we were looking at a smaller V8 powered coupe? That would have been pretty cool

Side note: I figured out how to split quotes so people can stop getting mad at me for using red text :doh::lol:

I agree that it was probably Hackett's decision, I just meant that as in "the mustang's future is EXTREMELY unpredictable with him in charge". I agree that a smaller (maybe a bit bigger than supra-sized, more along the lines of an M4, but a touch smaller) mustang with a 480hp 5.0 would be...

Now, this may sound like a Doomsday-esque attitude (I haven't been able to help myself ever since they put Hackett in charge), but when I read "reduce weight", "significantly smaller mustang", and "next segment below the mustang", I read it as "no more V8, too big and heavy". Especially if...

I doubt they would abandon the 2+2 design, that's a key criteria for a mustang. I think the Supra is going to be a 2+2 as well Agreed, but I wouldn't change the wheel wells... the size of them works well with the look of the car (I hate the look of small wheel well/tall belt line), and the...

The supra isn't necessarily that small... it's also a grand tourer style car like the Mustang is. Even the upcoming one, being based on a Z4 platform, isn't really significantly smaller than an M4. Being that American cars are always bigger (as it's sort of the appeal of american cars), I'd...

I personally have high hopes but low expectations for a Lincoln Coupe to sell alongside the Mustang

Caution: what you're about to see is the result of a bored office worker So, I drew up the kind of proportions I'm picturing. the top car is the template I used and is a real picture of a 2018 Mustang. The bottom is a sketch with revised dimensions that I would like to see on the S650, but...

Agreed, but I wouldn't mind maybe seeing like 3 inches of overhang taken off the front and pushing the engine further back into the firewall (a la M4)... If they could keep the wheelbase and track similar while reducing overhangs (maybe sacrifice a bit of the INSANE amount of trunk space for a...

A smaller mustang would have been a great direction. M4-like size and proportions would be perfect for the car, especially if we could cut the overhangs and center the weight more

Why do you think it's better? A new platform would allow for heavy improvement. The current platform we're riding on will be 17 years old by the time S650 comes.
