Tell me you have no idea what you're talking about without telling me you have no idea what you're talking about...
I'll try to use smaller words:
I'm not comparing technology, I'm comparing cost based on offering. In 93 the Cobra *was* the Dark Horse of it's time. Get it?
And Ford sold that...
The tap dancing while reading Dark Horse threads is incredibly amusing. This simple fact is that Ford dropped the ball big time with the "Dark Horse" on pricing alone. No matter the semantics no matter the spin, the truth is, the Dark Horse is a f*cking flop that is waaaay overpriced. This SC...
Laugh all you want folks, I hope for Ford's sake I'm wrong...
But with used Dark Horses sitting on lots with 4k miles at 54k and not selling, you all are thinking with your hearts and not your heads...
Dude, what planet are you on?
The "Dark horse" name is the stupidest fucking name slapped on a Mustang since the Mustang II. The sales of them are shit, and they hold zero resale. I don't give a fuck if you put a jet engine in the damn thing. Ford dropped the ball with the Dark Horse and now...
I'll stick with 50+ years of Mustang sales history before I believe anything on a forum.
"Dark Horse" is nothing and will always be nothing regardless of how the car performs in this case.
No Mustang without the Shelby name is worth upwards of 100k. None.
That's Vette territory.
Good Lord...
No fucking way I'm spending upwards of 100k on something called "Dark Horse". It will never hold it's value and those that think it will are sniffing glue.
Shelby or Vette...
Sales will stay flat. Tuning has nothing to do with sales with the general public...
Ford has painted itself into a corner with the Mustang and in doing so has put the entire ponycar Mustang in jeopardy. Ford focused on branding and tried to slip by a ponycar with minimal effort. They got bit...
Liars always figure, but figures never lie...
No matter how much you try to spin the "why's and how's" the bottom line is that Mustang sales are horrible and price has a hell of a lot to do with it...
I've owned every generation of Mustang (yes, even the Mustang II) I've purchased every Mustang I've owned from 1989 on brand new. The s650 is the first Mustang I have not purchased. IMHO Ford dropped the ball on both exterior but mostly interior design. I hated it from the first reveal, and as a...
As a life-long Mustang owner who has owned every generation of Mustang except the S650 (pricing/features alone dictated my option not to buy it), there is no way in hell that car is worth the increase and what Ford is pricing it at...
Another swing and a miss by the Mustang design team at Ford.
I really think it's time they circle the wagons with their design team and get their sh*t together. What they are putting out is beyond underwhelming.
They are going to design the Mustang right into the grave at this rate.
(just my...
No secret that I am not a DH fan (the price is just stupid for what you're actually getting), and I'm not an overall fan of the 650 at all (I've owned every generation of Mustang with the 650 being the first I have not)...
But that Shelby looks f*cking gorgeous. The duckbill rear end is just...
Good Lord...
I expect the DH crowd to blow smoke up their own asses regarding their purchase, but it's on another level when you are trying to put it up against a Shelby. That Shelby badge comes with a hell of a lot more than just stickers and a badge. History and Legacy count a whole hell of a...
Jesus, Ford has got a bunch of monkeys running their marketing.
Price increase, price decrease, promo's etc, and the damn car hasn't even been built.
This promo is horrible news as noted earlier that "dealer stock" is usually targeted to move stock. Now they are offering it for orders. Advance...
I hear ya, but, that's also a Boss. Check prices on a 70's "King Cobra" or an 84 "Gt 350" and you'll see exactly where the DH is going to fall. There is nothing special at all about a DH for what Ford is trying to rape the customer for money wise. It's 14hp, a paint job, and recycled suspension...
What I think Ford is doing with the DH is choking supply, to increase demand, and is raising the price. It's an old marketing trick. Sadly, I think it's going to backfire, hard. There is just not enough Mustang meat on the bone. If I'm Mach 1 owner, I'm laughing myself all the way to the bank...
