Idea, a 4 Door Mustang.

If they did this, it would be like a Challenger / Charger scenario. They could use the Mustang platform to make a 4 door car, but I sure hope they would not use the Mustang name... Give it a new name like Cougar or Thunderbird or something out of the historical database of car nameplates... AND make it look different enough that it does not look like a 4 door Mustang...

Pretty sure just asking this question can get you arrested in certain states...

Please don't give ford any ideas. They're already flirting with electric Mustangs

Too late for that. I believe Ford no longer thinks of the Mustang as a model but as a brand. The name is iconic and they can build on 55 years of it. Why wouldn't they? I'm not saying I'd like it but from Ford's perspective you can certainly understand why.

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!!!

I have a feeling that to make a legitimate 4-door, 4/5 passenger sedan from the S550 platform would involve something like 8" more between the axles, if for no other reason than making for rear doors long enough to actually function as adult-usable doors by themselves. A 115" wheelbase car is not a Mustang in any way, shape, or manner. A curb weight that starts with the number '4' for most if not all trims doesn't help the mental image any.

Fusion or Taurus I could see being the name for such a car. Or Torino (the Torino actually was available in 4-door trim).

That is way too small.....
A 4-door sportshatch wont go anywhere or command any premium if it has a short wheelbase. That is why they keep failing. I don't need an SUV, I want a smaller version of my Edge Sport/ST, or about a Focus RS with a 5" longer wheelbase. Like a stretched 4-door Merkur hatch, or the Porsche Mecan.

drop the extra doors and I could definitely get behind a shooting brake version of the Mustang.

OK, so you do not want a 4 door. How about a pickup?

Agreed that on the S550 platform it would be a stretch to see that happening. If the rumors are true and the Mustang is moving to the 2020 explorer platform tho...then it becomes a little more believable

Don't want to see the Mustang's wheelbase get any bigger for any reason. Don't need it to become a Challenger wanna-be.

In all honesty, look at the 80's the famous Fox Mustang... They made more than Just the Mustang on the Fox platform, it incuded the LTD, the Fairmont, Thunderbird, Cougar, and a ton of other cars... Each of these cars used the same platform, but were so different that you would never realize it. It is a smart move to use the same platform for several models, it keeps costs down for one thing, and finding parts is not nearly as difficult...

Only if it comes in convertible. That would be a fucking dream come true
