Is it fake or disrupted? The "heritage" as thought of by many is "2-door" with sportiness and an aspirational vehicle. This body style is significantly different because of "4-door". For me personally, when I see the old prototypes from the '60s of a station wagon and 4-door, it's a bit easier...
This is what is in dispute, right? It makes "business sense" but does it make "customer sense" since they are the ones who a) advocate for your business, and b) possibly even generate the sales.
One thing I sometimes don't think about is how people outside of North America connect to this...
I believe Falc'man was trying to make a point by using reverse logic :)
In reference to his point here - "Something not only recognizable as a Mustang but is a Mustang by name and by nature. ", it is my opinion the recognition of the styling as a Mustang presumes one is familiar with the...
Regarding name, here is a story that references the power of the name itself. The specs above do show the competitiveness of the vehicle itself. I am curious to see what happens to the interest as actual owners start to get them and others inquire about the experiences.
There is not would I call "instant acceptance" :) The Mustang name has symbolized a 2-door coupe with 4 seats. Now it symbolizes that vehicle and a 4-door sport utility vehicle.
I understand the desire to own something that is stylish while allowing for more practicality. If you have never...
The base in this generation is more so than prior GT500s, depending on your benchmark. Clearly, there's a lot of mass to manage in front.
Obviously that is different than this EV platform where the f/r split is 50-50. It will be interesting to see how the road race use case will be handled in...
You ask a very good question. As mentioned, having these updates seems to be a competitive necessity, especially in the performance department. I thought Tesla was big on continual updates because they didn't really have the legacy product planning model that other long-term manufacturers like...
As I jokingly said to a few Mustang buddies the other day, the Mustang II probably got replaced as the black sheep of the family :)
To make this name "work" in my mind, I now refer to the Mustang as coming in 3 body style configurations - coupe, convertible, crossover (aka the "Three Cs").
I...
Not to get into a huge philosophical debate about this, this is about the heritage and legacy of that heritage for "fast, affordable, fun, and freedom", which I connect to a car not an SUV. That is an implied brand promise, in my opinion. However, time marches on, and I am genuinely curious...
If it's like what was done for the C8 Corvette, you basically are buying a spot on a dealer list. The purchase details and pricing would be handled by the selling dealership.
I am disappointed in the "Mustang" name being used, not the vehicle itself. Depending on pricing and availability, it...
