    That's bad, but thinking back to what a Barracuda looked like when it was out, that design could possibly work. :jester:


    I don't know why anyone would have a problem with this possible new design. It's time for Ford to break the Mustang into a new era. Independent rear suspension, high tech turbo 4 cylinder motors to accompany the already bad ass 5.0 V8 they offer. It's time to give up your dad's old truck axle Mustang folks. :jester:

    And for the record, IRS is confirmed on the 2015. :waytogo: Here comes big time race car style handling FINALLY from the Mustang. No longer is straight line performance the MAIN thing a Stang will deliver. The solid axle in has done it's job rather impressively over the current years, but now it's time for modern technology to step in. :birgits_tiredcoffee

    Could be different. Still has to grow on everyone tho.

    They have the high level fusion with an EB motor in it :shrug: i know not an SVT, but still has boost.

    that reminds me of a aston martin db9

    the turbo 4 idea is cool, i used to own one of the SVOs it was an 86 it was a very cool car. Only foxbody to have 5 lug wheels and 4 wheel disc brakes and the first efi mustang

    I'm aware of Titanium having the EB and the SE also offers the EB as an option, but I'm talking a full out SVT packaged Fusion, equipped with special brakes, wheels, suspension the works. Not just the option of the EcoBoost. The Titanium Fusion is actually AWD too, so whether or not we'll see a SVT package is probably highly unlikely, but I can always wish, right? :shrug:





    My dad and I look and test drove a brand new 86 SVO back in the day, and yes, they were super cool especially for their time. :peace:

    ofcourse. i dont think we'll see an SVT, as along of people wont buy it. But we should still have an option to order one if we please. I'd take a fusion over a Taurus if the SVT could be had. But after seeing the numbers LMS is getting out of the Focus ST, that little car is gonna be fun too.

    I'd buy a Fusion over a Taurus to honestly, unless we're talking about a SHO. But if Ford offered a SVT Fusion, man it would be a tough choice between it or the SHO. :waytogo:



    I agree, I don't think we'll see those lights, or that big of a grille to be honest. But overall I like the rest of the car. I know there's plenty of people that think it's ugly, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

    the grille would be fine with larger heads.


    a Fusion rockin the v6 eb motor would be a nice toy to have.

    What an ugly hunk of junk.

    Squint eyed 4 cylinder mustang?

    Worthless if you ask me.
