Two-thirds of 2024 Mustang Orders are V-8's

Yep, Kuniskis is listening to the customer base:

Tim K is forced to implement the decisions that are made by people above him, or they will just find someone else to do it...

I'm sure it's a good enough job to eat the shitburgers for the money...until you can't take it anymore!

 

[GotronFerret]

I'm sure Ford and GM have been quite happy with their biggest competitor dropping their V8 cars. Even GM has committed to investing a considerable amount of money in a next generation V8 engine. Although probably for trucks.

That does 0 for your credibility with car people.

Well according to Tim he makes important decisions like the one to not upgrade the Challenger and Charger to Giorgio platform several years ago. Then they get bought out by PSA and then get moved to modified version of the same Giorgio platform he didn't want to move to. And he over saw the downfall of a bunch of cars like the Avenger, Grand Caravan, Journey, Viper, Dart, said on camera they didn't want to make a smaller car because of the Mustang and Camaro, and never introduced a single new vehicle other than the recent Hornet and Charger Daytona in 10 years as CEO.

We can't give him high praise for the Hellcat platform and gloss over the fact every other thing that went wrong was someone else fault.

Tim was 'the man', now just 'the mouthpiece'

850M invested for a 6th generation V8 for GM.
And they also announced the Corvette will see a 9th generation being powered by new V8.

Only Dodge/Ram pulled the plug on V8s. And I predict they will pay dearly for it. Or those cars will be heavily discounted to move them.

No way am I buying a 65k I6 510hp challenger/charger when I can get a 500hp V8 Mustang with a manual for similar or less money. And Ford Performance will likely have a supercharger available that will make it over 700hp like the last generation.

Don't forget he is now overseeing Ram which is going to be a complete shit show when the Hemi goes away.

It already is. Outdated trucks only move on price and Ram is now extremely overpriced.

And his first act as CEO was impose a 10k price increase on the TRX and sneakily add 10k to the Demon 170 orders in the same week...
And if you check out stangmode latest videos, we may be getting a 800hp street GTD Mustang as the new GT500... RIP DODGE

Wondering if you can buy one xplan?

 

[ButterDaGreat?]

Buy what? a GTD? Not the 300k one but there is a toned down version us mere mortals should be able to buy

 

[Speedy!]

Not surprised V8 sales of the Mustang are the lions share. Performance cars sell with performance engines and I bet more will sell next year as they absorb previous Dodge V8 customers.

Wonder what's up with the price increases though? A flat $10K seems like an odd number.

I said the same thing about the Chief Donut Maker. So I expect oddness from Tim

GTD is application only from Ford and $300k starting.
But I do think we get another HiPo Mustang that will slot under the GTD and over the Dark Horse

On 1/1/2024 just pull the curtain down on Dodge as we know it. As mentioned, Ford is going to sell A LOT of new Mustangs in the coming years.
With all of the Government fines Dodge was paying out every year it's a wonder they kept building them as long as they did.

I think that it's been exaggerated quite a bit. They were buying credits from Tesla but we all paid a gas guzzler tax.

Saw a 24 up close last weekend and still ugly in person. The screen dash looks like an after thought. Another car where the screen sits higher then the dash. I would go back to 2013 if I were to buy another mustang but if I'm going to do that plenty of used scat packs I would rather buy

DODGE HAS DEFINITLEY DRANK THE KOOLAID

Anyway this is the current ticker:


Lets see how this looks one year from now.
