"You think you hate it now, just wait until you drive it."
Wasn't there once a wagon variation of the corvette?
I think it was called the Nomad.
station wagon - isn't that estate car in proper English?
... and it will look exactly like every other Ford SUV.
They're grasping at straws - they've seen the successful sales of 'performance' wagons like audis and subarus and are trying to get a cut of the action.
A woody Mustang huh? Hmmmm....
Guess Ford saw Daimler-Chrysler make a 4-door Dodge Charger and figured they could make something even more stupid.
Just remember this sort of nonsense when Ford goes begging for a taxpayer bailout.
Do we really want to bail out someone who is going to make the Mustang into a station wagon?
Eeeeewww. It'll look like a Dodge Magnum with an overbite and shoulder pads. Of course the Magnum is nothing but a station wagon on testosterone.
Sometimes Ford design really kicks butt. And sometimes, well, never mind.
If they just added an El Camino version of the Mustang, they could drop all other lines.
Since there are some Mustang folks here. Is there such a thing as a front wheel drive Mustang?
Will it have a fold-down seat facing out the back? Maybe a compass mounted on the dash? Trailer hitch to pull that Nimrod pop-top camper? Little decals in the window of all the places you've been? C'mon now, these details are important...
Of course, if you read the article the first thought that comes to mind is that it is simply written by another poor journalist.
It looks to me like a four door and a wagon built off the Mustang platform are being considered. I HIGHLY doubt they would be called a Mustang. The Mustang platform is a RWD variant of the C1 platform, which is currently the basis for the Mazda3, European Ford Focus, Volvo S40, V50, C70, and the Mazda 5.
So you could also think of it as a RWD version of a Mazda3 or Ford Focus. Makes the 4-door and wagon ideas seem a lot less threatening.
Now, if you think 4 door like the "4" door Mazda RX-8, that setup you might see on a Mustang...
I'm holding out for a Shelby Cobra Mini-van.
why would they do that to a mustang? don't they have other old, no longer used car names they could bring back, like the fairlane or the galaxy?
Mercedes is going to make a 4 door convertible, based on the car above. Nice. World Class. Luxury. Status. But, not by old, main stream motor makers like Ford or GM. They don't have the confidence, the balls. So, they are stuck in the middle, not cheap or good enough as the Asians, not quality or daring enough like the Germans. The young and functional go to Asians, and the car lovers and wealthy go German. Well, thank God for car rental companies. Anyways, it will take Ford three or four more years to come out with a station wagon. This story is just so they can have something, anything fer God's sake at the Detroit auto show. Their home town show. Pathetic.
78-83 Ford Fairmont Wagon.
For all practical purposes, it was the same thing as a Mustang Wagon for these years.
