Default Ford Confirms EcoBoost Engine, IRS For 2015 Mustang

http://www.stangtv.com/news/ford-con...-2015-mustang/


I have 3 problems with the 2015 Mustang.

1. a 2.0L ecoboost engine does not belong in a Mustang. Focus RS yes, Mustang no.

2. i dont think the average driver is going to notice the IRS.

3. if the new Mustang looks like this, http://www.stangtv.com/news/spy-pics...ar-suspension/
then i dont like how it looks.


i understand that Ford is trying sell cars, but please no small displacement turbo engine.
i know all about the SVO.
i'm not a hater, i just dont want a euro/import engine in an American icon like the Mustang.
i wouldn't even want to see a small turbo motor in a Camaro either.

I read the article, but it still sounded like speculation about the Eco Boost being in the Mustang.

I can't see them getting rid of the 3.7 quite yet. I think it still has a few more years to hang around.

If it looks like that, it'll increase the resale value on my '13. w00t!

Looks like an Acura or futuristic Lexus. NOT A MUSTANG!

the only way this would be a good thing is if the the turbo/turbos are 88mm and the stock engine is built to handle up to like 80 PSI of boost and comes stock with 40 psi and 500+ hp

2.0 liter in a mustang? this planet is going down hill

The article makes it sound like Ford is coming out with a new car, new motor....and it's going to bare the "Mustang" name...should be very interesting, to say the least.
