The return of Mustang II - Do you have big plans for the summer? You are not alone. In fact, demand for gasoline has grown to the point that even a hedge fund to make financial bets on the record rise in gasoline prices. Our neighbors to the North have been doing even worse; With the weakening dollar Canada and certain policy decisions over the past few years refining and production in the region, gas prices in Vancouver have set new records.
I spent most of the last ten-days driving three-vehicles requiring Premium gasoline — we're “long-term “ Lotus Evora 400, Mustang GT press test, and my 6.2 Silvered. Only once, paid less than three-dollars per gallon, and it's here in Ohio, where fuel prices are usually as low as they get outside the Middle East. I'm told by friends in California that four-dollars per gallon starting to become the new normal.
This is not an energy crisis or a crisis of a real gas. Even the most pessimistic experts predict a return to the fuel scarcity or note the prices here in the United States. However, we have know reached a level where people start to change their behavior. That always reminds me of a Mustang II.
Some cars come in for so much criticism, if not quite because of hatred, as the basic ' 74 Pinto Mustangs. An old friend of mine who owned some Camaro to respond to criticism of the cross-fire injection and flexible body structure-Flyer with harp“at least the Camaro never goes compact! “We tend to think about at this time as our Victorian ancestors to the so-called dark ages in Europe. Cobra II and King Cobra tend to come for most critics, as they have on many horses as modern Fiesta EcoBoost despite outrageous body kit and an overview of their package.
When a razor sharp, Telnack's style of “Fox” mustang 79“, followed in order by Turbo Cobra and GT variants, 5.0 Mustang II again relegated to a status somewhere between auto Trivia and humor. However, its worth nothing but“Mustang compact “ oversold Camaro challenge Chunky 1974-1977 and thus help provide uninterrupted story for 1964 to Pony badge brands today.
Mustang II so focused on fuel consumption when it started that it does not even offer a choice of V8. Even so, more than 385 000-units have been sold which make me think O'Brien's advice on the 1984 irony that“it's better to live on your feet than die on your knees” is given a selection of Camaro or Mustang sipping compact, people who the second.
As the fuel crisis is declining and the economy improves, the Camaro continues to increase sales and lived there for many years. However, the lessons learned during the era of the Mustang II helped to influence the design and packaging of 1979 Mustang. Over the past two-decades that would follow, the original would be the Ponycar is lighter, smaller and faster than the competition. This is an important distinction that guarantees the success of products under various economic conditions.
Mustang today owe a larger 1973 Mustang packaging and proportions that sell Ford all among 1974-2004, but when I saw the price of fuel increases, I have to wonder what will Ford do when this particular pot become hot enough to cooking enthusiast auto frogs out there. If the existing model EcoBoost would put a radical Diet, the way Chrysler creates ' miserable ' variantes ' Turismo compact loaders and their youth sports? Or maybe we will look back to the compact proportions, front-wheel drive versions like the Mazda-based coupe, which ends up being sold as a spacecraft when market research indicated that people would not accept as a Mustang?
Call me crazy, but even at Ford announced cuts on non-crossover vehicles in this country, I think there is room for the modern Mustang II now. It could be sold next to the car at the moment, and it would be very easy to do: just take the next generation of the focus ST and make it a coupe. Rear oblique cut if necessary. Something obviously has a personal car and disproportionate public phone boxes. We continue to hear how a thousand-years did not have many children; Why you can't be driving down a two-door with rear seats the minimum viable product?
Give 2.3 EcoBoost at power level the focus RS, but leave all the stuff the fake wheel luxury and AWD and contrast stitching. Some small never killed anyone. Zero. It could kill someone. But it didn't kill many people. Keeping the weight at 100-pounds or less 3. Call it the Mustang II 2.3 LX. Some of us old people will get the idea. We can even buy one.
The vehicle will be convincing alternative to the Civic Si and VW GTI, which just seemed a little too reasonable for young rebels without a cause. Hyundai knows that there are several requests for this type of car, that's why we get N Veloster. But 2.3 LX I recommend are not always geared to the market as we know it today. It is destined to the market that we could if the price of fuel in the future become noticeably worse. This is equivalent to the undercover police emergency gun in an ankle Holster. This is one way to ensure that amateur buy something when even the head of the fuel in the stratosphere.
In other words, it is a Mustang II again. Only better, because it's not coral deposited on the Pinto platform, it will seriously be developed in advance. Be proactive, not responsive. At the very least, it would provide an alternative to the endless parade of different crossover out there. Don't think about these things as“would be compact. “Consider it forward-oriented. What if the future never comes? I do not know. Are you sure you want to bet against all these hedge fund? At least it will give this Manager the opportunity to spend their bonus money. A little something for the 2021 season driving, maybe summer. Get the line earlier. The first year of Mustang II can be very large. It is never a bad idea to have the right car at the right time.
