no 5.0 for 2015, GT-500 back to SVT Cobra
Last year of the Mustang!!!
- Thread starter Bumblebee03
- Start date
1. Ford will not ditch the Mustang brand. It is one of the best brand recognitions they have. They even talked about making a 4 door Mustang sedan a few years ago to try and capitalize on the brand more.
2. What the salesman probably meant was that starting in 2015 the "Mustang" will not be a Mustang any more, but instead will be a Ford Evos with a Mustang logo on it.
This probably is correct. Ford has said it is going to ditch the U.S. based styling and body for a smaller more "globally marketable" body and size. ..... aka The Evos.
Expect the 2015 Mustang to look like a Scion or something similar and be about the same size

As long as its pushing 420+hp I think we'll manage
Every sales person I have ever been around doesn't know anything about the cars they are trying to sell. When I went with my dad to help him pick out a new truck the salesman was trying to convince me that a 2009 mustang gt was faster than my 04 cobra and that I should totally trade it in.
I was just like dude you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about...

LMAO!!! Did he also mention how 2015 would also be the last year for Ford. (Stupid a$$ salesmen)
Give-Me-A-Break!

I'd love to see a side shot of the "Orgy car if anybody has one. If there going to do a body change they could do a lot worse. It really looks OK in those shots but a side shot would tell a lot more about it. GJ
When I bought my Lightning back in April a salesman at the dealership told me the same thing about the Mustang. I know the Mustang isn't going anywhere but I figure the Shelby's will go back to SVT.
The Mustang name isn't going anywhere, it's a household name. I really hope it doesn't come out looking like this though, looks like an Aston Martin, Jag and Hyundai Tiburon had a big orgy. Nothing about it screams muscle or pony car.
Interesting illustrations, never seen them before. In any case, I predict 2014 will be all time Mustang high point.
Dumbass salesman doesn't know what he is talking about. Hell, a salesman at my local ford dealership try to say that the gt500 was the only mustang to ever come supercharged from the factory. I literally had that "wtf" look
I hope not.
If the Mayan prophecies are true then yeah it will be the end for the Mustang otherwise no.
Not ALWAYS true. Mostly? Yes.
In the OP's case... The salesman knew he had a customer itching to get in a Mustang. What better way to try to reel him in by saying that the car will become extinct. If the OP was an uninformed buyer (or a moron) he couldn't get his checkbook out fast enough.
It's the same as your stripper telling ya that her shift's about to end, so you better buy that dance while you can!

That would make a BADASS T-Bird...
Anything to sell what is on the showroom now!!!
I have a feeling the 2014 will be the last good looking mustang. Don't get me wrong, the pictures above make a good looking car but it looks nothing like a mustang should look in my book. Im glad I bought my 2013, thats for sure. And most salesmen no way less about the cars they sell than the people who buy them.
hi hawkeye! Fort Dodge transplant here in NY
Well what is a mustang supposed to look like? The mustang has gone through a handfull of face lifts over the years. Does the SN-95 mustang look like a mustang? The new edge? Fox body? Mustang II? lol
Really, as long as the mustang is 1, front engine, rear wheel drive. 2, has 4 seats(the Cobra R being the exception). 3, has a V8 option. 4, has a manual trans option. 5, has two doors. Everything else in between is up for grabs. The SN-95 was a radical change from the Fox body and anyone comparing the Fox to the cars of the late 60's would say the Fox was a drastic change. Yet we would all agree those look like mustangs right? Because they are mustangs.
My feeling is that the new Mustang will be just another step in the evolution, but with all the traditional Mustang trademarks...
That's hilarious.
Still, I've heard more than once that the next Mustang would be based off the Evos concept.
I find that unlikely since the Evos is an obvious FR design and the FGT was MR. Unless, of course, Ford wants to point the next FGT straight at the Viper and Corvette.
