As pointed out, the Mustang has never been a "technology dinosaur." Even in the 80's and those beloved Fox bodies weren't dinosaurs compared to the time. About the only thing recently that was considered "out-dated" was the SRA.
And, you know what - I want my kids and grandkids to be able to choose a Mustang. They're going to have to sell more than they have since 2011 to do it.
(Expecting "the fourth" bow out anytime).

Well nobody could sum up your knuckle dragger personality better than you could lmao. I'm sure all the Corvette guys are shaking in their shoes. This is going to come as a shock to you but there a lot of people who aren't driving around on public roads with "something to prove". At least that's true for most male drivers above the age of 20 or so. That's how people end up causing serious accidents that result in the injury or death of a lot of innocent drivers. But now I understand the kind of person you are much better thank you.
I just enjoy kicking *** and I really enjoy it in a mustang. Gear head grease monkey and goddamm proud.

I didn't ever say it needed to "Advance" technology, but it needs to keep up. The reality is the last 4-5 years have been the lowest selling years ever for Mustang. They need to compete feature and price wise in this market (and the global market), otherwise they'll be an also ran. The same guys that *may* choose an Acura, or a Camaro, or BMW, or some other car like a FR-S. We need some of those guys to choose a Mustang. Otherwise, we won't have a choice to choose a Mustang. But, not being a Mustang Enthusiast, that may not matter to you? I'm not sure. As pointed out, the Mustang has never been a "technology dinosaur."

Yeah most of those people drive Priuses. The muscle cars were proven on the streets in the 60's. And you better believe that if your new model got whooped on the streets of Detroit, you were coming back with something better. I'm ok with dragging my knuckles. I'm certain you are much more civilized than I am. NTTAWWT

But I get you now
Mustangs gotta be a hot rod
Corvette guys better look out
Don't step up to Al, he likes to kick *** in his car
I'm ever so impressed I gotta say.

I agree with you but the mustang is just too big to sway any rice burner fans because of a turbo 4. For me it's just not gonna be a success. Turbo 4 in an AWD focus 2dr. Hell yeah it sounds like a blast. But T4 mustang is no hot rod and not really a commuter either. Somewhere in between the sixer and GT is just unnecessary. It's more of just a testing ground car.

Now I'm certain that you shave your legs. Can't believe I pulled the Nancy out of you. Adrenaline and testosterone are great. You should try some.

I know. I just don't see the rice guys jumping the fence for a mustang even though it's a turbo 4. The little focus race cars have turned some heads though.

Oh whatever man. You're understanding of this car is limited to "Dude its a V8!" probably followed by some mouth breathing and drooling and then a quick dash down the road with the Def Leppard blasting on the stereo.

I don't think the Mustang will catch many (if any) of those hot hatch fans. The dynamics of driving a Mustang vs a light-weight little hatchback just aren't the same. Even if it (the hatch) isn't as fast, they won't get the same "feel" from it.
