I just have a feeling with all the development of the 3.5 EcoBoost with the Tudor Rolex DPs that FMC will have a 3.5 EcoBoost in the Mustang. The new Navigator will have 370/460 3.5 EcoBoost with 4.10 gears and that would be perfect for a Mustang IMO.

Heck yeah!

Just to clarify i have no problem with the 4 or 6 or 8 in this platform I just think they could have done better with a different name. I understand common branding believe me in my occupational history that's understandable. But be a lil different for the mustang, that's all I'm saying.

Yeah the name isn't great, but it's also not exactly surprising. Tossing the 3.5L in would be awesome as well...

And my comments regarding hate for the 4 cylinder come from many of the threads regarding the Ecoboost, not just this one. There are a number of folks who seem displeased with the idea of a 4 cylinder Mustang, and for reasons I can't quite figure out.

Well, one good thing is it will probably be a stick on emblem. If one doesn't like the tag, a little fishing line, with a hair dryer, and it will come right off.
