I don’t think they do, but we will find out soon enough who is right.  And the inline 6, is no Hellcat or Demon.     This article also suggests otherwise.  I understand he is referring to the trucks, but why on earth would you even mention the Hemi when you’re trying to sell an in-line six if it wasn’t a problem.    https://moparinsiders.com/ram-ceo-leaves-door-open-for-hemi-v8-comeback-in-ram-1500/   The statement you quoted sounds like they’re convincing themselves. I’m guessing it also has to do with CAFE as well.  

Everything is overpriced. It sucks. 

I sent a screenshot of the RTR to my son, and he loved it. It must mean I’m old, lol.  Since this is going to be an eco-boost only package, I anticipate it’s aimed at the younger generation and will hopefully be reasonably affordable.  The younger generation is also more acceptable of the four-cylinder, so it gives them something Interesting to aspire to. 

Whoever replaces Bill Ford will have the Family’s wishes to keep their heritage going.   Also, Bill Ford had the final say on the naming of Mach E, if he disagreed with it being a Mustang, then Farley would have had to find another name

The Stellantis big shots understand the market and the Charger demographic. The new Charger is offered in both ICE and EV   “We aren’t building electric vehicles because it’s trendy. We’re building them to make a difference. To protect our future and our children’s future, we’re building electric vehicles to save our planet. To save it from all those lame, soulless, weak-looking, self-driving sleep pods everyone else keeps polluting our streets with … (gah)! (scenes of Dodge Charger Daytona taking over the streets) That’s why we’re doing it.”    

The car that answers a question that nobody asked.  Talk about not understanding the market.  The Charger demographic (baby boomers) want ICE, not an EV.

Not sure why people get so caught up on the Mustangs size-the orginal was 181 inches long and the 2025 is 189. What exactly are you going to do with that extra 8 inches or so with a smaller car?     

Which is why doing multiple mustang car models is starting to make more sense. A 2 seater, more exotic, V8 powered model to compete with the Corvette, but as a front engine model. Then another electric small mustang coupe, Ford's cayman to the 911 to compete with this electric Camaro. 

It was some interview he did, the same one where he talked about making a sedan.
