The current fusion design has been around since August of 2012. I doubt a Fusion refresh 4 years later would have anything to do with a mustang design that came out a year ago.
This is the current 2016 design! 17 is little different and i am 100% positive mustang will follow the similar headlight and reverse bottom splitter design!

What information do you have to be 100% positive?

Ok well that's still a 4 year cycle. why would ford change the mustang so soon just because the fusion changed?

Not really, but if you look at the design from 2010 to 2011 and then 2011 to 2013 you can see that mustang followed a refresh history. Besides, most of the Ford models received a refresh accept the stang. Gt350 might get a headlight refresh too in my opinion, but that might be it.

The mustang was the same from 2005-2009 2010-2013. Why would ford change the most successful mustang in years less than two years after it was released? Also if there were any design changes for 2017 you would have seen them announced today. No major changes for 17 is pretty much confirmed at this point.

A couple of things...
This site just posted a story on the home page that the 2017 Mustang will get Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
Does anyone know IF these features can be added to a 2016 Mustang?

Also, I have been pricing the 2016 Camaro SS along with the 2016 Mustang GT 5.0 and it is not an apple to apple comparison...
There are just too many feature discrepancies to get "equivalent" cars.
It will come down to overall preference.

The mustang was not the same from 2010 to 2013. 2010 to 2012 was similar bodystyle but the addition of the 5.0 in 2011. If talking strictly body design, 2011 to 2012 was the same. If talking strictly 5.0 then the changes cycle would be 2011 to 2012 and then the front end change from 2013 to 2014.

It's 3 years old come this fall when the '17s hit. They need to change to keep up with the industry. No one is sitting on long cycles anymore. I dont think you can compare the Ford of the non-Camaro years to now. Especially with what Chevy brought with the Camaro.

You're wrong on the year to year changes.

The Mustang was the same for MY 05 to 09

MY 2010 saw a new body and power bump from 300 to 315 HP and the track pack availability.

MY 2011 saw the new drivetrain

MY 2013 saw the exterior refresh and another power bump from 412 to 420 HP.

And that's just the normal Mustangs and not the Boss 302 or GT500

You cannot compare the 4 piston stock Camaro brakes to the GTPP then. The biggest feature of the GTPP is the Brembos!

It's already not an apples to apples comparison if you're going to say something is good enough now.

The reality is the Camaro as that poster requested is $49-50k. The GTPP is $44,500 (which you can lower to $41,700 with Xplan for $50) and that's pretty much ever option you can get.


There is not much debate that the Mustang is priced much more aggressively to sell.

Mustang only gets Brembos in the front. The Camaro gets them on all 4 corners. That's why it doesn't need the 6 pistons. The 6 is an option for extreme track use. The magazines all tested the 4s and they were completely sufficient. Car stopped on a dime. If they weren't they would factor that into their builds/pricing and none of them had the Camaro anywhere near what he is spec'ing out.

Sure you need to put the 6 pistons/MRC on if you are making a GT350 competitor for sure.

But for the standard GT, you don't need to the 6 pistons to be competitive with it at all. In fact the SS standard is already ahead of the GT performance package.

Here's the thing..the guy above asking doesnt even need the MRC or 6 Pistons to make it equivalent or better...the SS is already that in terms of performance.

Understand but we are talking daily driver situation. So technically they are wants, not needs. Which is what I was trying to say.

There's no "need" for 6 pistons on either car particularly other than to say you have them or for show. 99% of people who get these options never even push their car beyond what the base model would offer.

Remember that on previous year specialty cars, even high HP Shelbys I believe up to 2012 and the Boss too, the 4 piston WERE the top tier brakes- and worked just fine too. They did just fine on 550+hp.

They want to say "I got dem Brembos" or "I got me some magnetic ride." With NO clue what it really is for or that how they drive their car on the streets they will NEVER feel the difference. Pretty much the moron duh duh car buyer that 98% of the population is.

Stock car to stock car the Camaro is more expensive, bottom line, and by a few thousand bucks.

According to Car&Driver: yes, they will provide the ACP/AA software update for owners with Sync 3 equipped '16s, probably around summer this year .

The guy was talking about a fusion headlight and bumper refresh being relevant to the mustang. The mustang had the same design from 2010 until it changed in 2013. That's a 3 year cycle cosmetically. The current car came out in 2015 what reason do we have to believe Ford would change the appearance of the best selling mustang in over a decade so soon? Also if there were design changes Ford would have released them today. Smaller option changes are always announced in the spring. So the day has passed an no mustang news. That means there wont be any major changes engine or Body. Looks like you and the other people like [MENTION=8222]Spartan[/MENTION] who so badly want changes will have to wait ANOTHER year.
