The performance vehicles will be such a small market/$$$ for them.
It's more in general that their product lines have become stale/boring. I mean look at the changes between gens of Explorers, Escapes, Fusions, etc...they don't really make anyone excited except maybe for the new Mustang but...
Oh it's terrible in the back seat and the trunk/entry for the trunk is terrible. They missed the ball on this gen. They really need to rethink their design philosophy and lower that belt line and make the back seat usable.
I can see GM going with AWD as the next big jump in their Camaros.
This is long overdue. They missed a whole buyer demographic with their set-up going from a V6 LT nicely loaded to a V8 SS track car. They don't have a V8 that is really for DD that doesn't have all the track features removed.
I think they really thought that people would buy the 4 cylinder and...
If the 2020 had a v6 twin turbo and was aluminum why wouldn't you go with that. I mean look at Audi and their S/RS series cars that have gone from V8s down to V6's but yet are lighter/faster. You see a select few complaining but the rest/reviews/mags all like the engines/transmissions/etc...
At least for many it's about moving forward, not staying in the past with something. Ford will sooner or later make an AWD Mustang it will happen and sooner or later they'll be an all electric one. Otherwise they'll die with staying in the past.
I'm seeing more and more EB Mustangs on the road...

Wait for the '18. Then decide on the EB or GT. And you can get the PP with MT/AUTO so you have lots of options.
With the changes coming you'd be wise to wait unless you don't care about improvements across the board.
