Mustang “Mach 4” trademarked by Ford

That was speculation. The Explorer and Aviator are the only vehicles using the CD6 platform. Compare the specs of the S550 and S650. The weight went up a bit, but everything else is really close. In fact, most of the dimensions are an exact match. There were rumors that Ford may have used some components (such as the wiring harnesses)from the CD6. I don’t know if they actually did that.

Hello; I give. Never intended to get so deep into the platform. My information was indeed old as i must have read something a while back. Using a basic platform on which to make a variety of car, SUV or truck models is something manufacturers have often done.
I do not know if the S550 or S650 platform is suitable on which to build a four door sedan. Not clear to me that such a distinction makes much difference to Ford. They did name & style that EV after a Mustang. I do not know if the EV Mustang uses the S650 platform but will not be surprised if it does not.
Again, one of my points was the Mustang is a large car and i can see a four-door sedan within the dimensions.

I couldn’t care less what it’s called. I see no harm in it using the mustang/mach name. I would absolutely love a coyote/manual transmission sedan. Then I could stop crawling into the back of my mustang to put my kids in their car seats!

If Ferrari and Aston and BMW and Mercedes can make wagons (shooting breaks), why not a Mustang? Look at all the variations we have for other models- like F150 reg cabs, SC, CC, etc. Back in the day, we had reg cab long bed and short bed. Times change.

No one is stopping FORD like Ferrari, BMW or anyone else from making anything, but a Ferrari GTO is NOT a station wagon and a Ford Mustang shouldn’t be either.

I’d be fine with a Falcon Wagon with a Mach 4 trim level.

I’m looking at a Bronco next year to bring my GT out of daily duty again, but I think I’d rush to the dealer if they had a manual optioned wagon.

The patent did state a ton of ambiguous uses.

I'll just leave these here. A Mustang would make an awesome shooting brake.

The FF and the Lusso that followed it were pretty awesome. Nice designs too, everything flowed nicely

I'd rather see the nameplate die then get a mustang 4 door or wagon. Vomit. That is all I can say on some of those ideas. Call all of those something else...oh I don't know, maybe the original name Ford used on those kinds of vehicles. Quit advocating for !@#$ing up the Mustang name.
