As a poster much smarter than I am said on another thread, Ford is probably content with the number of Mustangs it is now selling because of CAFE. Mustang is probably still only in production because it is such an iconic car for Ford, much more than the recently discontinued Camaro was for GM.
The 2.3 PHEV was supposed to debut in the S650 Mustang but then was delayed/cancelled.
I get the feeling that it didn’t clinic strongly but could have been something potential buyers
either didn’t want or didn’t feel strongly about.
In the PHEV Ranger, the battery is located under the rear tray between the chassis rails.
S650 was supposed to have some CD6 components and floor pan changes to allow
fitting PHEV battery, it is an option there but feels like Ford has gone cold on it.
I understand your position on turbos. However, I believe you are part of a very small group that feels that way. I doubt it constitutes a large enough market to justify the development of an NA inline six.
I would love to see the hybrid from the ROW Ranger in the Mustang! I would love to see the Fusion come back to Flatrock. I had a 13 titianum with the 2.0 ecoboost and I loved it!
That’s hilarious. Your personal preferences determine what you like or don’t like. When you project those preferences to what mfrs should build and what others should buy then that’s bias.
Ford has been spied testing a shit ton of the newer fusions in the U.S. not just once, but like an insane amount of times. So maybe that hints that they're thinking about bringing the fusion back here?
Not EcoBoost, all turbo, whether Ford or BMW. Would NEVER buy one regardless of how many people do. I don’t follow crowds anyway. If I feel it’s a bad decision, that’s all that matters to me. I don’t personally criticize people who like EB. It’s your money and can spend it any way you want. I’ll continue to do the same.
