Default take good care of that Cyclone 3.7L

Apparently its successor is a 2.3L turbocharged I4.

What's wrong with the Cyclone? It'll still be offered. True, it's still the bottom end motor but it's quite the bottom end, I'd say. Who knows, some day they may boost it up to the 3.5L turbo.

I love my 3.7L. It's the reason I bought this car and a brilliant engine. I'm saying I think it will end up being a collector's item after they produce the 4-cyl option for a few years. So take good care of it. Down the road (no pun), when they remember what a sweet spot Ford hit with this one people will be asking what you want for it.

+1 ^^ I agree, something has gotten lost in the shuffle. Something about a 4 cylendar in a Mustang that just doesn't sit right with me. Glad I got my '13 V6, I'm friggin good to go.

Seriously. After the awesome combo of style and muscle they got with the current body. It's fine tho like StangDawg said. I got mine.

I agree on the rear end...here's hoping it's one of those "looks much better in person" things.

On engines, this Cyclone V6 is a rockin' good time...just wish there were more aftermarket parts for it...and that could become a challenge if the 2.3L bumps it from the lineup.

I don't think the 3.5L V6 EcoBoost is coming any time soon...just too expensive per unit compared to Ford's other options.

Seems like price and power of that version would be right alongside the 5.0. I wonder how much the popularity of the ATS and A4's have influenced this. Nothing worse for a brand than when it tries to cater to the latest fad.

The auto week article states that the 3.7 and 5.0 both have more power than before. So the 3.7 it's ticking around, and I hope whatever they did to the new 3.7 can be copied to the old 3.7.
