Is Ford Cancelling or Refreshing the 2027 Mustang?!

[Zig]

I don't want to start a rumor, but maybe they're getting the larger, fore door version ready?

Kinda like those cts v wagons?

It’s 2026 and we are talking about a refresh on a gen that started with 2024. That’s just silly

The S550 was new in MY 2015, and in MY 2018, Ford made major changes. New front and rear clips, new hood, and new instrument panel. The Coyote V8 got an ever-so-slightly larger bore, direct fuel injection, and an increase in compression ratio, resulting in 25 more horsepower. I think there were minor tweaks to the Getrag MT-82, as well. That doesn't mean we should expect that the 2027 will have substantial changes, but it would not be unprecedented if it did.

'Past performance is no indication of future success'
Ford will do what ford wants and people can speculate until the cows come home but that won't change a thing.
The entire automotive market is doing a bit of a swing around, a few years ago the last ever ICE's were being developed as EV's were going to take over and there was mass layoffs.
And similar to ford realising they were sold a dummy with AI they're having to re-hire people, problem is the people and the supporting companies have moved on to new markets.

I work/worked for a VVA company which we've kept ticking over but the last year the OEM's have been in a panic and full of uncertainty with hypotheticals and what if's we brought back the program we cancelled 4 years ago.

Thats true, I think the S550 was an anomaly though. Usually it’s closer to five years. Maybe I’m also just a bit salty lol cause my 2025 would already miss out two years later

I agree that five years is more typical.
