Ford Market Research Study

[stangdan26]

I was selected to take a lengthy survey on my ideal "sports car". It was clearly from Ford and clearly about the Ford Mustang.

Let's just say that if they make all the features a reality they surveyed me about we will ALL be happy.

The survey asked me to remain confidential and I want to respect that as much as possible but here's a couple tid bits I think are public info or as close to it via rumor so as it's technically not "confidential". I am as hardcore mustang as it gets and I know you guys are too and my heart is racing after taking the survey even though it's probably years before the features make it to the car (if at all) LOL.

Everything you see here is based on my OPINION from INTERPRETATION of the survey. They are by no means meant as anything but rumor mill. I make no assertions I am presenting fact of any sort.

-Likely going to see a 10speed auto and/or Flappy Paddle true DCT. 6 manual still base option.
-Mag ride and active exhaust will come as options.
-After market branded wheel and tire package options
- performance package offered along with more aggressive track package (improved performance vs. high performance)
- gauge cluster replaced with a screen (think Mercedes S class)

There are others but these are the ones that grabbed my attention, especially the DCT.

Enjoy.

I'm sure we'll see some of those for the '17/'18MY

I also got something in the mail yesterday to complete a survey.

I would have liked a more aggressive handling package

 

[Black one]

I took the survey and was sent a 20$ Amazon credit

And I answered the way I felt....

Are you talking about the gauge cluster with the PP or the actual speedometer and tac being one screen?

Good info!

If a DCT comes available in MY18, I would be hard pressed to keep my '15. Then couple that with MR...wow.

Was this the Psyma survey? They ended the survey on me after like 4 questions in.

Not offering DCT basically ruled out even considering an auto for me (that and the poor CO2 emissions on the EU model)

Take it! We could only be so lucky to see pre-pro stuff.

I waited too long to respond to get that but I'd do as many as they asked me to do with no incentive necessary.

I took my answers seriously as well.

Driver customizable LCD screen that would replace the analog tach and speedo. They tell you the size and other details but that was the first I saw of them so I'll leave those details confidential as requested.

Very typical - you likely work in an industry they consider to be either a conflict of interest or could create bias. It was probably that question that got you booted.

I just took the survey, and i finished FAST. Like after 7 questions or so.

I took a a survey from Psyma and it was pretty long... they offered me the $20 amazon gift card. A day later I got another offer for a second survey (i think a follow up?) and they offered me another $20. Just got both of them in my email the other day. Parts money!

Hope I get offered this survey. I might be in the minority, but I'd like to keep the analogue gauge cluster. The less digital technology distractions in a car the better...IMO

This may not make sense but if the outside of the car is analogue (slightly retro) but the interior is more and more modern, I'd be happy.

Any idea about updates to the Coyote V8, to keep it competitive or better than the upcoming LT1 in the 2016 Camaro?
