Yes. Sales were down in 2024 even though the Camaro and Challenger stopped production in 2023. Looks are an issue. It looks like they raised the hood and erased all of the fine details along the sides from the s550 so it looks like a cheap knock off...hence the Camaro comparisons.

I don't like the looks of the new model. Maybe others feel the same. The price certainly hurts too.

I could see the 4 door Mustang, or a different name like Falcon, finally being brought to life.

That looks like the Neuron T-one. https://www.autoblog.com/amp/2019/11/26/neuron-ev-electric-pickup-semi/

Please look at what is actually available for low prices. A large Ford dealership having different locations near me has almost 1,500 new Ford's listed on their website. Only 2 were under 30k. Three more were under 35k. They were 2022 Escapes with large discounts. Affordable vehicles are gone. 5/1,500 are under $35k.

I don't see annual US sales staying anywhere near 10-13 million with this rush to electrics. New cars are becoming a thing only rich people can afford, like the pre-Model T era.

50% of what total sales? I see people being priced out of the new car market or having to take out loans that are exceptionally long like 7 years. Last year, US new car sales were 13.75 million, the lowest since 2011, and a drop of more than 3 million from 2019. When do sales bottom out and at what sales level? The longer it drops, the likelihood of manufacturers going out of business increases when combined with increased costs from transitioning to EVs. I see a very rough future for the industry.

The Lightning is a very conventional looking truck. I'm guessing this will be less conventional looking.

Full size bronco??

What a poorly written article. It does not provide a single reason why people don't plug in the cars. It simply says newer owners of phev do not maximize charging. Is this because they use their vehicles on long trips where the electric charging is likely not used once leaving home? It doesn't say. How is the data collected? Doesn't say. What do the owners think? Has charging changed due to work from home since the start of COVID? Is this including used car sales where people might have bought whatever was available during the shortages? It doesn't say. As for regulator opinions, the results are caused by regulators trying to regulate people for a specific outcome. Poorly thought out regulations and incentives produce results that are significantly different than intended.

What if they called it Mercury? Is that still covered by dealership agreements?

One might think it was poorly done on purpose so people will be more than happy when the much better looking EV coupe is introduced in a few years.

I thought the 2018 was new edged. This seems more like the design is based off a kid drawing a S550. A lot of details are similar but the proportions are just off.

Boring. Looks too much like the current model while somehow the front...maybe mostly the hood...looks like a charger. The headlights look like a 3-pack of flash cubes. This is why I hate the idea of designing mustangs based off the 60s mustangs. After a while, it just gets boring and predictable. I have the same issue with 911s even if I can't buy one.

Is that any different than the Ferrari FF? Maybe it has the ground clearance of a normal car??? For the record, I have zero problem calling the MachE a mustang. The teased logo looked like a horse with a collar or harness around it/resting behind the head on the shoulders for pulling. This made me think of a pick up. I'm not a horse person so there is probably a different name for what I'm thinking.
