I'd consider one if it could seat 5 and had back doors.
Edit: Just read it is electric so no thanks, I wanted one that whines with a supercharged 5L (or 5.2L Voodoo). More here: https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-new...rossover-75918 Last edited by Sioso; 26-10-2019 at 02:08 PM. |

I don't think the design language carries over as well as some of the other oddball SUV's like the Cayenne, Macan and Urus.
That large grille will be a big drag penalty for something no longer needed. I'd be curious to see the detailing there to see how they've overcome that. |

Well I find that of more interest than any other Mustang this side of 1970.

I think it will all come down to price and cruising range and whether Australians are ready to go electric in a large SUV.
Maybe little ahead of its time, but these will be commonplace in 10 years or 2030. What the Aussie market is screaming for though at the present time and would be hot sellers, is a Ford V8 SUV and dual cab ute. ![]() |

And I don't think Ford even have a V8 SUV anymore. Top engine is the 3.5 ecoboost in Explorer and Expedition. Bronco won't have a V8 either. Those days are gone. |

According to Ryan Walkinshaw, the conversion market could be 10000 units per annum. The market is currently limited by how many they can convert.

But eventually medical technology will catch up, and actual enlargement will become cheaper than compensating.

It's still only small numbers though. Ranger and Hilux will sell as many in 2 or 3 weeks as they will sell Rams in 12 months.

I think they would also be happy selling an equal number of V8 SUV's or dual cabs if it was available to them. The Ram proves there is still an interest in a V8 ute market here, and the Ram is not cheap either. I'm sure if the Ranger or Hilux came with a small block V8 option, there would be interest, even though this could never happen. ![]() |

I don't mind it .... as long as it doesn't use the Mustang name.
Maybe "Draught horse" instead?????? ![]()

As mentioned previously we didn't RHD Mustangs developed just for Australia needs.
Oversized V8 American Utes are not popular outside of America, yes they do attract a modest interest here but not enough to warranty factory Production so conversion is required Walkinshaw needed a $5 Million Grant to get things happening, I'm not sure how much profit they are making despite the Pricetag. Point being the Mustangs are available for Ford Australia to sell regardless of volumes.

Mustang is different cause rhd builds make up a fair chunk of production, and it’s popular in rhd countries that would have no desire for f series. |

The RHD demands are still small compared to nth america volumes as I'm sure you know. He quoted that this is another main reason we'll never see RHD GT350/500's with the hassles getting down to Shelby and back then finding space to finish off and shipping, again stuffs up cash cow productions.

That attitude just smacks of “We are the world and we don’t care about anyone else”. I wonder if other plants around the world from OEM manufacturers have that attitude to LHD and RHD ? They don’t, it’s an American thing. |
