Report: Mustang Baja Off-Road Model Previewed to Dealers

[BoostRabbitGT]

So Porsche had the 911 Dakar and Lamborghini had the Huracan Sterratto (don't remember how to spell it exactly at the moment)...

Would the equivalent for this Mustang be the Mustang Pikes Peak? (And then marketing could be like, "Well our Mustang Pikes Peak has an available Bigger Performance Package...making it THE Mustang PP with an available even bigger PP! (immature laughter immediately ensues) "

No, a thousand times no! Leave our F'n car alone.
Call it a Ford Tahr or Chamois, or even the Ford Goat (Not all caps)

Yeah, that’s the part I don’t like either. It dilutes what the Mustang name has meant for decades.

Ford’s branding team seems to have a hard time coming up with new names.

If something sporty needs a name, just slap “Mustang” on it.

Ford marketing meeting:

“We need a name for our new model.”
“Mustang?"

“But it’s not really a Mustang.”

“Perfect. Mustang it is.”


At this rate Ford will eventually sell two things: Mustangs and F-150s

Makes you wonder.

Funny enough they trademarked the RS500 name, that makes more sense for this kinda thing. Ford has so many legendary cars it’s weird that they want to retrofit Mustang into everything.

Some of you motherfuckers don't seem to remember all the concepts that the original creators of the Mustang originally had for it. Including Wagons, and 4 door sedans. The only reason they failed, was because Ford at the time thought they would be too expensive to make and wouldn't sell. But today we live in a different world where more people would buy a wagon/suv or a 4door sedan. So to tap into that market, and harken back to some of the original visions of Iacocca and the original designers thoughts and ideas is actually staying TRUE to Mustang heritage, and not, as some people call it, Disgracing the name.

Now fuck off with the hate and shit and enjoy the fact that our Mustang still continues on, while the Challenger is dead, and the Camaro is working on it's 3rd Revival.

One thing is for sure... That UMF won't sell in large numbers.

The only car they make is the Mustang.

When I was stationed at Fort Carson, '68, I went to the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Sitting on a snow bank in June was a bit surreal. It was amazing to watch. I don't remember the course being paved? I thought it was that damn red dirt that got into every crack and crevice I had! Glenn

JFC. They didn't FAIL. The "Mustang Wagon" didn't FAIL. The "Mustang 4-door" didn't FAIL.

It. Wasn't. Fucking. Built. Because. It's. A. Stupid. Fucking. Idea.

Shit like this is going to kill the Mustang, not "bring it to the masses" or whatever you think it'll do.

I was thinking if the Fathom fails to be a "Model T moment" (if that actually means anything besides Ford marketing language), THAT could potentially kill the Mustang moreso than them deciding to make a sedan/wagon/shooting brake/Mach-E/Prius variant.

I'm normally quite respectful, but this is one situation where I'll just say this.. The only stupid idea was your conception.
