robertlane Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Word around Dearborn is that the Mustang's "refresh" has been pushed back by 15 months. :do what: This could be due to a few factors: - A strategic decision to stall for time to see what GM and DCX are planning. - Plant capacity considerations for a L/M model (s).

crispy23c Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Interesting. My thought immediately went to $$$ constraints, but you made some good points. Additionally, it could be technical issues (ie: stylist's designs aren't feasible for mass production), but who really knows? I just fear that Ford's bean counters control the company too tightly, and this could (eventually) contribute to the company's undoing. All speculation on my part... It could be as simple as the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality, but I think in this highly competative global market, they had better stay on the ball, because the ball rolls quickly these days!

MustangFanatic Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Robert, that's really depressing news, I was looking forward to an redesigned '09 Boss. I hope Ford doesn't get too complacent with the Mustang and not keep the design sharp in the face of new competition from GM and DCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I don't think Ford will do that - the Mustang has been a cash cow - and I do believe that the feature cars will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
