Just call it Boss and be done with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could just be a spoiler under there that's messing with the lines, but it's hard to tell. It just looks a little more upright to me.

T-dubz Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I’d be excited for the 4 door mustang, off road mustang, or a new GT. Don’t really care to see a new trim on the regular mustang. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its the spoiler causing to look that way...esp if their is cover over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new Mustang SVT Cobra would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t really care to see a new trim on the regular mustang. You're gonna get 17 more variants of the s650 and you're gonna like it goddamnit lol. In all seriousness, this is a little bit of what I was concerned about with the GTD. When that car was first shown off, I had concerns it would make getting excited for future s650 variants more difficult because we were already used to the most hardcore version right out of the gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't think anything of it, because it has heavy camo over the whole thing (there are other views of the front wheel area that also show heavy camo). I just figured they put something over it to make that shape. 2 hours ago, T-dubz said: I’d be excited for the 4 door mustang, off road mustang, or a new GT.

Dequindre Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Ford be like: "We're always introducing new and innovative products", yet we only get a new Mustang trim every year or two. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t been excited about any version of S650 so far to be honest with you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a combination of things, the long shelf life of the s550, and the fact that the s650 is basically s550 v2. I want to be excited, and I am excited about some variants, the GTD is cool, and the mustang raptor renderings I've seen look sick, but the design overall is starting to feel a bit tired. I'd love if Ford did like a mustang concept or something like Chevy did with the c9 concepts, just some fresh to get excited about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be neat if they revealed that, or something else alongside the next cobra/boss. I think a lot of us just want to see something new that isn't a new trim or variant of an existing model. Some sources claim Ford's gonna be revealing multiple vehicles, but who knows if that's accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way, however I am not certain why. The overall Mustang's excitement just doesn't seem to be there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base s650 isn't a bad car, bad performing, bad looking, it's just not bold or forward thinking enough to be a real home run in either of those areas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 So tonight I was having dinner at an Oyster Bar watching a football game UM (my school) and Arizona... and in the commercials was some Mustang and my accountant eating with me tells me "Oh that's Mustang Bullitt"... and I'm like "Hmm before my time, tell me more" and he went on and on" hes almost 70 and I'm like "Well I HEARD that Mustang will be bringing back an icon at the auto show...., I'm wondering if this State Farm commercial with a Bullitt is a hint"....

I was talking to someone on the Ford Licensing side for the Mustang - Warner Bros. (owner of the Bullett name) has increased licensing fees to atmospheric levels. The cost Warner Bros. presented to Ford is actually eye watering - way over and beyond what Ford paid to Shelby for the GT350 and GT500 names. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get they don’t want to throw mountains of money at it because of a razor thin ROI but the Mustang line needs a serious shot in the arm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
