I think the current Mustang is a good size but wouldn't to get bigger. It's mainly due to emissions and the regulations less strict the bigger you get. As long as the 5.0 sticks around I'm good with it getting bigger. Since the new Explorer/Aviator have a RWD set up it makes sense and cost affective for Ford to use that platform. The AWD option will probably a hybrid for, maybe what the Aviator has would work. But this isn't happening for a few years, maybe a 2024-2025 model.Yes, my understanding is the Mustang is going to grow. Of course, I made that argument on Reddit and got down voted like crazy. But the Mustang does have room to grow on the C6 platform. If they do add AWD, I can't see it staying the same size or smaller. Plus it's advantageous to Ford because they could make a sedan version and compete with the M3/M4. There's also been talks about Lincoln getting a version of this.
As a former Mustang owner, it pains me to write such things, but we live in a world where Ford attached the Mustang name to an electric crossover...so these are crazy times. lol
I might get some hate for this but I don't think it's that bad that the Mach-E has the Mustang name. The Mach-E is supposed to appease Tesla buyers, and it's not that bad looking SUV. So they needed to make the electric CUV to be sporty and making it like a Mustang helped. Even if Ford made an electric Mustang pony car and was sold along side the original gas powered one, it's not a big deal to me. But if Ford replaced the gas power plants with only electric power train options I'd be pissed. The future will be electric in some way if we like it or not.
