2015 Mustang GT MSRP starts at $32,925

MPG is one thing. I drove an ecoboost fusion from new orleans to DFW, averaged 34mpg @ 85mph. That's insane.

Oh yeah, I guess there's that too.

not buying one until there is a hatchback

I just don't think I would like driving a non V8 car, I need loud dual exhaust!
And yeah, MSRP versus what we'd actually pay should be way lower.

The 5.0 aint going no where. I'm keeping that car, but I will add a EB to the stable...

I was looking at Mustangs in 2002 and they were in the upper 25's sticker price for a GT premium, based on an assumed sticker price of $25,600 and a new 401A sticker, the price has gone up 51.25% in 13 years. It took from 1964 to 1976 to make the same percentage jump, but the difference was only 1205. source

The cost of a 1964 Mustang coupe standard ($2320) adjusted for inflation according to this is $17,742.16, a 1976 coupe standard priced at 3525 would be $14,686.80 today.

Cars are insanely overpriced.

New cars are also a quite bit more then just sheet metal and an engine also

You're going to be waiting a while then.

Well, you could always get a Genesis Coupe.

2.3L though? I'm a huge ecoboost fan, but damn... I don't know about that. The car looks pretty damn heavy, it can't be very peppy. Assuming it's around 3600lbs, it's just about the same power to weight as a stock 225hp fox notch.

Iirc it was supposed to be 400lbs lighter than the current car and that's the 5.0, the 4 pot helps a little more I would assume.

The 1.6 or the 2.0? The 2.0 has dual exhaust if that helps. I only ask because I drove a 2.0 EB Fusion and that thing hauled ass.

I honestly do not know. It was an SE trim, it was pretty peppy, not sure if it had dual exhaust or not. I didn't know they offered two ecoboost variants in the fusion. I drove two different ones, one I drove about 200 miles in florida, it got less MPG - I presumed it was because most of the journey was up hill, averaged around 32mpg @ 70mph. And the one I drove from NO to DFW was at 38mpg @ 70. I wonder if they were the two different motors available. Both were fleet, so whatever ford's fleet ecoboost line is.

edit: looks like they actually have 3 ecoboost motors (!) available in the fusion. 1.5L, 1.6L, 2.0L.

I was about to buy one (2.0 EB) but I can get a loaded out 1.6 EB for about the same amount as the 2.0 EB. They also have the well built 2.5 4 pot and Hybrid&Synergy Fusion too.

The wife had been interested in the ecoboost edge. I wanted to do little more research and see how owners liked them before I took the plunge.

Those of you complaining about price, go drive one around for a week and really spend some time in it. There is a reason that after all these years I finally splurged on a brand new car for the first time. There is also a reason both Danny and I went out and bought a new 5.0 after driving across country in one. They are just flat out great cars. I'm sure the new gen is going to be even better.

[racrguy]

They may be great cars, that doesn't change the fact that vehicles are wildly overpriced.

[talisman]

If they were overpriced they wouldn't be selling them and the market would adjust their price to be lower dude. That's how it works.

If they are overpriced, they won't sell. You know the actual transaction price will come down significantly after a few months. MSRP is for suckers.

I am hoping for a Mach 1 in the future. the last time I bought a brand new car was 2000 but if the pop those out again I may have to say fuck it and buy one.
