This is actually a perfect example. The Dodge Charger has the 4 door sporty V8 market covered. Dodge sells 80-100k Chargers a year, and that is across all engine sizes. Ford sells about the same amount of Mustangs a year, also all engines. How many of those Chargers are V8s? Maybe 1/3 if we're being generous. That's a market of 30k sales that Ford could get a slice of if they entered that market. Maybe they do well and get 20k of them.If I wanted a V8, 4 door sedan I would get a Charger.
That's because Chevy refused to advertise it. At all. Like ever.Chevy tried this with the the SS and it just didn't have enough general interest to make it a successful sales platform. Very unlikely a 4dr Mustang would meet with much better success. It may be an awesome car (like the SS) but if general public doesn't see the appeal it would never work.
really cool design you did there I agree it's need something different mustang name.. don't dare call it a panther that's the original name for the Camaro.Thanks for the feedback guys, I knew it was touchy subject with the Mustang fans, if only the name is the problem then we can rename it to (I was thinking of calling it the Panther)!!! Appreciate the positive feedback!!!
It's because Holden stopped manufacturing, and they did so because it's cheaper to run a plant that produces greater volumes. If it were a premium/prestige car that attracted profits it wouldn't need great volumes to remain in production, hence why you only find nearly all sedans as premium offerings, and the rest that aren't barely break even. Which is why this next Ford sedan won't be in the Fusion/Taurus/Falcon mould.That's because Chevy refused to advertise it. At all. Like ever.
I think Mach E will be quite lethal considering the platform it'll use.Call it something else like the Charger and Challenger . But SUV is more realistic. Throw a Coyote in that bitch that would allow for the same supercharger\TT options as the mustang. 850rwhp AWD SUVs. nasty
I'd be OK with this. I would not want it to be called a Mustang. Also, I'd rather not have the styling be a super close match. But a 4-door sharing the platform and engines? Sure.If not named a Mustang, but inspired by the design and sharing a platform and engines???
Chevy owned Holden though. They easily could have just moved manufacturing for that car to the US and continued it. They even had a life cycle update between years on the damn thing.It's because Holden stopped manufacturing, and they did so because it's cheaper to run a plant that produces greater volumes.

/They didn't advertise it because they knew it was going to be dead anyway.
It just wasn't profitable enough considering the Catherine Jones platform was what they made the last Gen Camaro from, but Camaro was moving to Alpha platform..Chevy owned Holden though.
