It would be cool in 2015, the 5oth anniversary model, which is to be a global market Mustang, to see it go back to its roots with a GT350 to replace the Boss 302, which will not extend production beyond 2013. As such, we would have Mustang, Mustang GT, GT350, and GT500.
The point of the GT350 was to give the Mustang a serious and sporty image, accomplishing that by improving the carburetor and the suspension, permitting it to win its class at the races. Why not do similarly but with a unified labeling system, unlike the Boss nomenclature?
But then I thought about the fact that we might see another turbo'd Mustang, an ecoboost SVO as a gas sipping performance Mustang. And since the styling is supposedly going to change, maybe we should go away from the Shelby labels and return to the SVT ones. Perhaps we could have Mustang, Mustang SVO, Mustang GT, and Mustang SVT Cobra.
Since previously we have seen the Mach 1 and Bullitt as slight upgrades to the GT, maybe a new icon is in the works for 2015 to add yet one additional option to the lineup? I would like to see one along with the return of the SVO/SVT labels.
I find it interesting as I ponder the lineup options in the 2015 and the direction Ford will take with the new generation. But what do you think about the potential lineup?
