Some other great Ford items...

FORD GROUP

- Production for the Ford Edge (CD539) has been moved ahead to September 2021 from December 2021. The program code for Ford Edge (CD539(ng)) has been updated to CDX706. In addition,
production has been moved ahead to October 2021 from January 2022.

- EOP for Ford Explorer (U502) has been moved back to December 2018 from September 2018. This results in a timing shift for the Ford Explorer (U625 having an SOP in January 2019, a facelift for January 2022, and an EOP for December 2025).

- Rather than the next‐generation Fiesta, the C484 program will be a Small Car to replace the Fiesta at Cuautitlán. The Ford Flex (D471) and Lincoln MKT (D472) EOPs have been moved out three years from December 2015 to December 2018.

Thanks!

I don't know where you find this stuff, Top Notch, but I'm sure glad you do

Now, excuse my ignorance, but is:

EOP - End of Programme
SOP - Start of Programme

Also......if that May 2020 is the start of the programme, is that a launch date? I assume it isn't when development starts, as I guess that's already underway, or will be soon!

 

[strengthrehab]

EOP/SOP is end/start of production maybe.

 

[Stangnut]

I would love to read some of the older versions of those announcements. Could probably tell when the facelift will be and maybe even what special editions are coming and when.

Go back far enough and you'd be able to see where they screwed up the release date of the 2015's.

Interesting find. Thanks Top Notch! Feels like 2011 again when everyone was anxious to hear news of the 2015.

TopNotch is Dave.

Now the question I have. Is 2020 the death of the V8 engine? My biggest worry overall which is why I'm aiming to get a Mustang GT sooner rather than later.

 

[Twin Turbo]

Now, Team Mustang, don't bother too much with the styling proposals for '21MY.....just use this as a starting point (not too sure why this didn't get beyond a sketch for S550!)

(apologies, I know I've posted this serveral times before, but just want to ensure Ford gets the message )

Now, excuse my ignorance, but is:

EOP - End of Programme
SOP - Start of Programme

As mentioned above, P=Production. I am 99% certain because these acronyms are used by the Product Supply people I interact with at work.

 

[TheMightyAndrew]

What will this world be like in 2021?

Whoa...this is kind of surreal

Maybe because that design is atrocious. It looks more like a GM design. Perhaps a Camaro mixed with a Corvette. I'm not getting a Mustang vibe from it.

Maybe you should stop.

Wow, you're a happy little camper, aren't you? Welcome to Mustang6g


Actually, it's very similar to S550, so I think it has a strong Mustang vide, but each to their own, eh?

I've got to agree with Twin Turbo. To me this looks just like the S550 combined with the New Edge styling. However, I would like to see more modern styling cues in the S650 as opposed to the (IMO) more dated look of the 90's - 00's era Mustang.
