[QUOTE="VictorySong, post: 12308552, member: 91211"] I don't recall anyone in this thread that wanted to change the Mustang into a Probe. Some of us are just fed up with old ass recycled designs from the 60s and would like to see Ford build a new car. You guys who want to refresh the 69/70 Mustangs for the next 50 years like Porsche does with the 911 are delusional. The Mustang is nowhere near exclusive or even good looking enough to pull that off. The fact is new buyers DON'T want a retro car. Look at the production numbers for the current body style and compare them to the SN-95 and New edge stangs. It isn't even close and is borderline embarrassing for Ford. 2011 Production:[url=http://www.mustangheaven.com/2011/2011-ford-mustang-production-numbers-hit-the-web/]2011 Ford Mustang Production Numbers hit the web | Mustang Heaven[/url] (60kish# 94-95 Production: [url=http://www.mustangheaven.com/Production%20Numbers/sn95nums.htm]Mustang Heaven - SN-95 Production Numbers[/url]#120kish & 165kish) Numbers don't lie, retro has lost its luster and is quickly becoming a loser for Ford. To be fair I also looked @ the production of the 98 Mustang, 1 year before the brand new body style was expected and they sold 198k Mustangs that year. Where is Ford at in 2013 while people wait for the new model? I would bet the farm on it being nowhere close.:D [/QUOTE]
