So what was that about people rushing to buy the 2017 after the 2018 pricing release?

The pre-FL is old meat, now.

[NoVaGT]

Yeah?

And?

Is this really a thing? Is sales numbers some sort of concern?

Those people aren't the general public. They're the enthusiasts who find forums like these who like to be more informed and don't enjoy getting robbed by minor upgrades. They want the best bang for the buck and the 2017 Mustang fits that bill.

The market is just over saturated with these cars.

Where have you been the last 2 years? Every beginning of the month these come out?

Robbed? Is somebody forcing you to buy something that you think is over priced relative to the value to you?

I'm curious what the 2018 sales are going to be like at this time next year.

 

[yote41]

18s will sell alot when they come out then fall off after everyone realizes they only bought into hype

Unfortunately I think your right.

Minor upgrades? Both transmissions are improved, with the auto's improvement being huge. New digital display, upgraded interior trim pieces, heated steering, magneride, variable exhaust. Oh - and a completely new direct/port inject 5.0 making an additional 25 ponies.

It's not a brand new car, but the upgrades are anything but minor.

Everything you just listed there is minor outside of Magneride.

That's a lot of quality of life "improvements" if anything.

That's funny - I'd consider it all to be significant improvements except for Magneride - obviously what one considers to be an improvement is extremely opinionated

The only problem that I have with direct inject motors is the not so good side-effect of intake valve carbon buildup - something I'm dealing with with my current German engineered DI engine. The Port/DI hybrid that Ford has developed here gives the performance benefits of DI, with the ability to clean the valves like a port engine.

FYI - DI tech is not new for Ford - the 2.3L Ecoboost is already direct-inject only.
