Ford Mustang Sedan

[vintage]

Not to get off subject with the Bronco., but since we're waiting around another month for the BIG REVEAL.. I read a article on Ford Authority about a Mustang Sedan, pretty cool looking IMO. Looks like after Ford goes after the Wrangler crowd they'll be gunning for the Dodge Charger Crowd. It kinda has that Porsche Panamera vibe to it. I would definitely buy one of these over a Charger if I was in the market.

yes this was discussed at the GT500 dealers meeting few years back.

dealers asked what’s next?
Mach E (electric crossover)
Then a Mach SEDAN
Hybrid mustang
Ecoboost mustang
Mustang sedan
And MORE!

they said they were testing things in house and conducting research to see if the market would want it.

mustang sedan and electric version would take on the Charger (which is gettin an update in 2-3 years) and the Tesla S. Then Ecoboost obviously to push the envelope on the mustang.

all EARLY stages of development. Likely not till late 20s. After the next generation comes out

Also the NEXT generation of Lincoln's. You already have the Aviator. Now a sedan (next continental) and maybe a smaller (zephyr?) boom. Money.

Is this just "New Coke"?

I thought Ford's stated strategy was discontinuing sedans?

From what I understand the rumors of a mustang sedan was really about Mach E.

Sedans are dead. And tbh there’s zero reason to bring them back. SUV’s are just better in every way almost.

odds are there will be an electric sedan tho to take on the model 3/S. Odds are it will be a sedan version of the Mach e. Plus they are still going to make luxury sedans. The MKZ (Zepher) and Continental will need up dated in the next 2-3 Years. And they talked about making them rwd before this last gen. So it would make sense to use that platform.

Ford has no need for an electric sedan. The biggest benefit of a sedan is the gas mileage.... which is moot due to it being an electric vehicle. Ford will be content with Chevy and Tesla duking it out for the pennies in front of a steamroller, and offer SUV’s instead.

Ford cutting sedans from their lineup is the only reason they aren’t bankrupt right now. Zero reason to go back.

but for Lincoln tho. Sporty rwd big sedans is a decent market and I know a lot of old timers that are pissed the Continental is fwd.
they should have used the new explorer platfrom for it like they were testing 4 years ago.

Sacrilege, but I like the render.

My understanding is Ford is done with trying to service every nit picker. Those same people who want a sporty rwd sedans are probably the same people who buy used since the depreciation on them is so bad. Ford is trying to make shit that people buy, and people buy a lot of. The exceptions to this are their luxury SUV’s, which they have insane profit margins on, and the mustang/Ford GT which are flagship products.

What about a Mustang Ute... Is this the Mustang Maverick?

Beat me to it! I would love me some suicide doors though.

Why would they sell this when the Taurus would not sell? If I recall the top line Taurus SHO had the 3.5L EB wit 365hp/350ftlb and AWD. The styling was a bit soft on the Taurus, but it was a direct competitor to the Charger. Discontinued 2019

another competitor was the Chevy SS with the 6.2l V8 with 415hp/415ftlb..... and yet the Charger killed this guy too. Discontinued 2017
