The full story includes not offering premium options with the S550 V6. There was never a level playing field on which to judge sales.Prob need to compare the sales #'s for the ,4,6 and 8. That's the full story.
Sounds like the fastest Hoover on the block.The full story includes not offering premium options with the S550 V6. There was never a level playing field on which to judge sales.
But it is what it is. No turning back now. The Ecoboost seems OK, until you hear it.
O wow..thats lame. Why would they not give same options for the 6?The full story includes not offering premium options with the S550 V6. There was never a level playing field on which to judge sales.

Because they wanted to steer customers to the Ecoboost. It gets better gas mileage so they wanted those sales.O wow..thats lame. Why would they not give same options for the 6?
Guessing because Ford didn’t plan on carrying the 3.7 to model year 18+ it wasn’t worth the additional tweaking and testing to have them on a an outgoing V6 model.O wow..thats lame. Why would they not give same options for the 6?
No argument here. My bro has a 2017 V6 and he loves it. He never would have bought an EB carI think it a huge mistake ford dropped the V6 in the Mustang. I understand why they did it but huge mistake
That's the downside of everyone putting turbo 4's and 6's in everything. Sure you'll get better fuel economy, but you'll pay more at the pump if you want all 310hp/330hp.The turbo i4 does get better mileage but feeds on premium gas so the savings are pretty much a wash.
I think some buyers will go to MOPAR or Chevy in USA cars or go to Infinity for import because they want the V6
Because the V6 model was designed from the get go to be a rental car. Ford really didn't care about enthusiast buyers. Ford wanted them to buy either the I4 or the V8. They even reduced the number of options on the 16'-17' to push folks to the other cars. There was no mistake. Everything Ford did had a reason and when all is said and done the S550 was a very successful endeavor.O wow..thats lame. Why would they not give same options for the 6?
If there would have been a V8 Premium model in 15' I would have bought it.The 3.7 V6 is a very good motor. I'd take it over the I4 any day.
Only if they want an ocean liner or a car they cannot see out of. As far as Infiniti, I traded my V6 G37x for my 15' EB. The Infiniti V6 was sweet but overall not match for my Mustang. Besides todays Q50 costs more than a GT.I think some buyers will go to MOPAR or Chevy in USA cars or go to Infinity for import because they want the V6
