2021 MUSTANG (S650) - 7th Generation Mustang Confirmed

[Zelek]

So the new Mach 1 is a Mazda CX-9?

Gotta watch out for those revolutionary square wheels.

It's just lacking the same QC Mazda has.

I have been beating this dead horse for a while. The future is electric and autonomous. It won't be an immediate change but a gradual one. If major automakers intend to stay competitive they must change with the environment. The shifting of R&D budgets and hybridizing the older product lines will come first.

I thought you were dead.

I'm holding out for my flying car.

This is the 1990s all over for Ford. Ignoring passenger cars in favor of their "SUV future". Meanwhile Camrys, Corrolas, Accords, and Civics outsell every Ford SUV.

"That means you're going to see from us electrifying our most iconic nameplates starting with the hybrid version of F- 150 and Mustang where the hybrid system delivers the same amount of performance that Mustang customers expect with an iconic vehicle."

I have no problem with an electrified future as long as petrol and ICE vehicles are still attainable for us enthusiasts!

Well take a look at what Ram has done with their 1500..

An electric motor attached directly to the engine that adds roughly 16HP and 130ft/lb's of torque in certain conditions..IE low RPM, etc..

It's said to increase fuel economy and performance.

I'd dig something like that in a mustang.

Ford..

Just let us have our one necessary evil, all we ask.

While here in reality land, at my dealership we can't give away plug-in hybrids and the electric Focus (bet ya didn't know one existed). Super Dutys, F-150, Explorers selling like candy.
Oh, and in my opinion, Mach1 name for an SUV is not genius, but just lazy. Younger customers that these will be targeted to will not relate to a 50 year old name and it will anger us older customers who might for the first time look elsewhere.

Electric isn't selling and the cars are unaffordable even with a the government subsidizing them. I see a lot of Teslas where I live specifically because it's a wealthy area. We also don't have the infrastructure to handle millions of cars on the electrical grid. Right now all that is a fairy tale. Also automation is scary when the government decides which routes you can take. I hope that isn't the future I'll take the flying car before that.

Which one? 6 speed manual or V8?

There's one BIG issue with electric cars that no one wants to talk about the disposal of there lithium batteries. At present only about 1% of lithium batteries are recycled. Lithium is very flammable just ask Boeing. So that means specially prepared pits have to be dug into the ground. The chances of a ecological disaster grows with every lithium batter stuck into the ground. And that's doesn't even cover the fact that many overseas lithium batter makers are now using chemicals harmful to the environment to extract lithium from rocks. With just these factors figured in electric cars do more harm to the environment than gas powered cars.

Maybe the whole point of Space-X is that Elon can shoot rockets into space with discarded Tesla batteries and create his own space dump.


Hmmmmmm

Could be then we'll have burning lithium raining down on us from space :doh:
