    Mustang new model reveal September 14, 2022

    So, barely one hour to go and the new Mustang (non-electric) will be revealed. The most popular sports car in the world and yet no mention so far. Could this be the spy photos that seem to show the same sheet metal on a new frame with only a change to the headlights. Well they say the interior will be all new. However that frame from an SUV might be adding a bit of weight and the rumored AWD and hybrid may not be part of the first offerings.

    As somewhat of a fan, I will watch; but I am expecting the same body (sans headlights) on a heavier frame with the same powertrain, but a spiffy new interior. Excitement level is Smiley will require much Smileyto avoid Smiley

    That was underwhelming, so it's just a facelift to keep selling it a few more years yes

    It's not a sports car. It's just a pony car. Unless you seam weld it, put in a full cage and x brace it from to rear, it's really a awful handling mess.

    Actually a complete new frame that is supposed to carry on for the next 8 years just like the last one, but an excellent job of making it look like just a facelift. Smiley

    The updated interior looks like they just threw a couple of flat screens up on the dash. Smiley

    Overall it looks like the level of effort was rather modest. Heavily counting on the Camaro and Challenger ending production.

    Better in many ways than the last one. V8 and manual is always welcome. Remote Rev feature to give the Tesla summon crowd the finger, nice.  Agreed the swath of screens starts to look like a crash hazard and a long term repair expense - I could be wrong. Still, a fun package even though it’s the turbo four. Better than expected. The new frame will pay dividends when the Corbra and Shelby cars arrive.
