Ford has been known to do some smart things and some boneheaded things
Bringing back the Mustang = smart thing
(snip)
Then, of course there was Ford doing the Jaguar thingy, or worse the Cortina thingy and the Capri thingy
To that end...
All companies make decisions based on predicted marketing trends. Demand is elastic, in that it takes awhile to tool-up or tool-down to make/not-make certain models of car or truck. Good bets, bad bets, all have data to back some particular position I am sure. Macroeconomic trends bite some and reward others, though.
F150s have been a safe bet for a LONG time. They'll keep refining them until Hell freezes over, I suspect. Even if it one day has an electric motor, which would be an interesting day (seems inevitable).
Mustangs, I don't know. They must sell plenty. I have a Shelby GT350R in my garage that I bought new March 2019, an '18 model. "I think" I'll hold it awhile as a curiosity and potential rolling classic. That particular dealer has Roush, Saleens, and plenty of Shelby's from interesting (GT350) to exotic. They sell lots, they claim. Saw a few 5.0s and an elusive Bullitt or two. Point being some sports cars, like American Iron, sell "at this time". They have a few hundred-K $$ Shelby trucks, too, as "nothing exceeds like excess," I do suppose.
Ford sold Jaguar to Tata in 2008, though they are still built in England. Sharing design facilities with Land Rover, no less. It appears they took a loss there; not sure what anyone was thinking. I'd keep clear of both brands like a spitting cobra, thanks. Both make beautiful-looking vehicles of highly dubious long-term reliability.
If they tweaked that suspension a bit to keep the nose down, I be they would get that car even faster. Notice the ICE version keeps the front end down the entire time. Most cars running in that range are not hanging the wheels up and wasting all that energy.....But a wheel-standing 8-sec electric car makes for great photos and publicity.
Someone should save my Mustang....it barely gets driven and I'm thinking of selling it.
2005, slightly modified Mustang GT. Hasn't even hit 30k miles.
