Probably won't happen because they all want their feature to sound unique and better than everyone else's. I doubt they will get together for a meeting and decide on what to call each feature. Although most have common generic names now and it should be pretty easy to just start using those.

I love the profile too, just very sporty. Haven't seen anything that mentioned a white, black or silver roof. When I saw the crease on the C pillar I thought that would be an option like on Flex.

While you are correct with the cars being different 65 - 73 are pretty universally referred to as the first generation Mustang.

That is the problem, I don't want an imitation I want the real thing!

Sadly the manual will completely die with the takeover of the electric car. I weep ?

I love the sound of the V8 engine so much and as a getting to be old guy would buy a V8 Mustang 10 years from now. But I am sure the intoxicating feel of the instant torque and fast acceleration from the Electric motor would make up for some of that and I would of course buy the electric. Maybe it will be available with fake V8 sound for us old guys.

My guess would be sales have gone to Tacoma (not sure what Toyota truck sales were those years) and small sport utilities will hold buyers that might have gone for a Ranger if they didn't exist which for the most part they didn't during Rangers last run.

I agree Mach - E is stupid. Most of general car buyer do not know a Mach I anyway. Just use Model E then I think more people would get that at least or you know come up with a good name.

From my eye it looks like a lot of the new utilities from everyone looks to be lower and longer. Ironically turning into wagons and improving handling over taller utilities.

The grill in the drawing does not look as tall as the PIU one. Usually in renderings the vehicle is drawn a little more aggressive than reality. I don't think the front will be bad but probably could have been much better. The light shape is not as important as the details inside the light, not just boring but some cool shapes and colors, as well as how cool the LED accent lighting looks.

I like it and my wife loves it we are in our 50's. Also the flex missed yes but I think because it was too wagonish utilities are getting longer and lower now so I think it was just ahead of where the market was going. Plus millennials are the target market nowadays. I think this will do great. I think when they changed the escape they lost buyers but gained more different ones and this could bring back some of the old one again.

WRONG, maybe you don't care but a LOT of people do! ME for one hate it.

The future is dim for anyone that likes a vehicle that is nimble, handles well, and sits closer to the ground...sedan or otherwise. Umm no...... MUSTANG

Since most people don't know anything about cars for the most part this is probably a sound business decision. After all the owner is in business to make money and might not care about cars at all. It is just for those of us who are savvy it makes some of the salesman seem like they nothing about cars in general or the specific one they are selling. They should at least have a knowledge of the features of the cars at the dealership though.

You know I just realized that the less new cars that are sold then the less used cars there will be and the more expensive they will get for anyone that does want one. It will be a vicious cycle. Oh well hopefully that process will take long enough that it doesn't effect me too much.

Was hoping the Mach 1 would look more like the Mercedes GLC/E, I like that look better than the Panamera.

This used to more true and I think it is the way females brains work versus ours. But now a days with the feminization of America guys are just as bad. Also all of the problems people have with millennials seem to be seeping upwards as well.

I agree with this. This just encourages people to over rely on these safety features and create even worse drivers than we already have. I remember an article back in the early 90's when anti-lock brakes were coming to main stream cars. It compared the same models with and without anti-lock and the ones with them had a lot higher single accident rates. Now of course you can't not have new safety features but make it clear that these are not to take the place of attentive driving. Yeah who an I kidding!

They should have just left it Sport. Do they think being an ST will increase sales?

Would love for this to be true but no matter how much we dream it just is not. As stated people want SUV/CUV not big cars. I would buy a Continental you describe just add a 5.2 L Voo Doo and a 6 speed manual and I am sold. Of course the odds of me hitting it big with the lottery and building my own are bigger than Ford ever building it.

Does alienate = not buy another? If not, I don't think it is a problem how mustang fans feel. Lets not forget a Mustang is a Ford first and using cues from it to add excitement to other vehicles is a good idea if it helps people get excited about buying other "cool" Ford vehicles. Not sure how many people will feel the same as you but I would bet it is not as many as you think. Plus they will get over it. Also a Mustang owner and fan!

To me all SUV/CUV's are wagons, tall ones yes but wagons just the same. People may think they aren't cool but SUV's are. Ironically it seems all the newest SUV's are actually getting lower and more "Wagon Like" anyway.

Totally agree, Unfortunately once the idea is out there it becomes fact in most peoples minds. I bet if you did a survey 98% of people would say FWD is far superior to RWD in wet and snow conditions. Maybe Ford is intending to slot a FWD/AWD CUV in between Escape and Edge while moving Edge and Explorer up market a little.

How, you listed 5 for each and from a purely visual standpoint the Edge grill update is easier to see including shape and grill look.
