you're not going to derail this topic with that stuff. Make your own topic, this is about turning a car that has been around since 1964 or so into a SUV.

That's the Eclipse

Or did they do it to both?

And I thought Ford was still making the regular Mustang, and the SUV is just a new model based on the Mustang

Well, they said years ago they were going to stop making all sedans (excluding Lincoln) and make all Fords either SUVs or pick-ups. Might as well squeeze some pennies out of their IP.

It wouldn't be a Mustang if they didn't ruin the design every decade or so. Remember that weird throwback 1950s one with the round windows? That design lasted what, one year?

I'm not really that much of a car person so I don't care, but what makes this funny to me is the Mustang badge. I know enough about that seeing it on that looks funny. Also it looks like its frowning.

Damn forgot it was 2016 and not 2020

Wonder how many of those new registrations were due to Mustang drivers running offroad and on sidewalks. Guess the good credit score explains why they don't worry about not driving it into barriers since they can easily replace it?

He's correct though. In 1964, they were designed for working class women.

No, in 1964 it was explicitly designed for teenage baby boomers who wanted fast cars that weren't expensive

It had targeted advertisement to women. It was marketed to basically everyone but they went the extra mile to try and grab as many women customers as they could as well.

Doesn't sound like they were "designed" for women, they were just ahead of the curve on advertising to women.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mustang

History

Executive stylist John Najjar, who was a fan of the World War II P-51 Mustang fighter plane, is credited by Ford to have suggested the name.[9][10] Najjar co-designed the first prototype of the Ford Mustang known as Ford Mustang I in 1961, working jointly with fellow Ford stylist Philip T. Clark.[11] The Mustang I made its formal debut at the United States Grand Prix in Watkins Glen, New York, on October 7, 1962, where test driver and contemporary Formula One race driver Dan Gurney lapped the track in a demonstration using the second "race" prototype. His lap times were only slightly off the pace of the F1 race cars.

An alternative view was that Robert J. Eggert, Ford Division market research manager, first suggested the Mustang name. Eggert, a breeder of quarterhorses, received a birthday present from his wife of the book, The Mustangs by J. Frank Dobie in 1960. Later, the book's title gave him the idea of adding the "Mustang" name for Ford's new concept car. The designer preferred Cougar (early styling bucks can be seen wearing a Cougar grille emblem) or Torino (an advertising campaign using the Torino name was actually prepared), while Henry Ford II wanted T-bird II.[12] As the person responsible for Ford's research on potential names, Eggert added "Mustang" to the list to be tested by focus groups; "Mustang," by a wide margin, came out on top under the heading: "Suitability as Name for the Special Car."[13][14] The name could not be used in Germany,[12] however, because it was owned by Krupp, which had manufactured trucks between 1951 and 1964 with the name Mustang. Ford refused to buy the name for about US$10,000 from Krupp at the time. Kreidler, a manufacturer of mopeds, also used the name, so Mustang was sold in Germany as the "T-5" until December 1978.

First generation (19651973)
Main article: Ford Mustang (first generation)

Lee Iacocca's assistant general manager and chief engineer, Donald N. Frey was the head engineer for the T-5 projectsupervising the overall development of the car in a record 18 months[16]while Iacocca himself championed the project as Ford Division general manager.[17] The T-5 prototype was a two-seat, mid-mounted engine roadster. This vehicle employed the German Ford Taunus V4 engine.

The original 1962 Ford Mustang I two-seater concept car had evolved into the 1963 Mustang II four-seater concept car which Ford used to pretest how the public would take interest in the first production Mustang. The 1963 Mustang II concept car was designed with a variation of the production model's front and rear ends with a roof that was 2.7 inches shorter.[18] It was originally based on the platform of the second-generation North American Ford Falcon, a compact car.[19]

That is functionally what "made for women" means.

Like, if you look at women's razors, what about them is made for women? Well they got a pink handle and a picture of a woman on the box art but the razor blade they stick in it is the same fucking razor they use for men's razors.

The mustang was really no different. It was made of the exact same parts as every other car was at the time and then they ran commercials with women in them.

I was interested in the Mustang SUV only because I wanted my next car to be at least a hybrid SUV and not look like ass. My Camaro is nice for making dumbo drivers think I want to drag race in a region with speed cameras every quarter mile and an assload of traffic, but I need more cabin space

The Toyota Highlanders are starting to look pretty good though

Edit: Nevermind the Highlanders still look like shit. Dont know what my neighbor did to make his look so nice in person but Googling images of it makes me want to vomit
