I guess that if we can have an electric and get it accepted, we can also have a four door. It does go against my personal preferences, however. Thanks Chris.

@david-green Well said David. History repeats itself as a four door Thunderbird debuted in 1967.

I suspect (as does FoMoCo management ) that a Mustang sedan will prove quite successful, but of course it's something I'd never want.   The convertible is still on my radar.  😎 

Time will tell if it'll be successful. I wouldn't have any interest in a 4 door Mustang, but that's just me. Same with a Camaro.😊

@geno Same for me.

@ed-davis Yes, some things are just sacred. You don't mess with them. 💯👍

I personally think a four-door (or electric) Mustang is a ridiculous mistake. Perhaps this is a Bud Light or Jaguar moment for them.

@michaeldetorrice "...ridiculous mistake?"    Are you not aware that the "electric"  MACH-E Mustang has outsold the traditional Mustang the last two years and is on track to do it again in 2026?    Furthermore, a 4-door Mustang sedan has the potential to outsell both models.    

Those that bash any iteration of a Mustang that isn't a 2-door coupe or convertible aren't buying the cars; those that support the Mustang brand shun those models in favor of 4-door electric or sedan versions. 

How is it "ridiculous"  to provide the consumer with vehicles they actually prefer to buy?

The market will inform us as to the marketability of a 4 door.  My thought process is that companies are lazy or afraid to sit and come up new with or bring back names for cars. They are modeling and using names that click with the public.  Sure if I had kids and wanted a Mustang why wouldn’t I want a 4 door for the room.  Ford really has no 4 door car this year do they. Everything is SUV. 

Personally, I think the bubble shaped mustang is an abomination to the Mustang name. But then again I have twice owned Mustang Convertibles (2008 & 2014 still own). May even buy a another. I love that car!

Interesting. It's always a bit fascinating when a manufacturer does something like this. Who gets to define what they're making, the owners of the nameplate or the buyers? Is the Mustang Mach-E not a Mustang because we don't think it is? Or is it a Mustang, but we just don't like them calling it one?

For those who think the nameplate says one thing but reject it because it doesn't measure up to what we believe that model to be, I have one word: "Maverick." Do you believe for a minute that the current Maverick is not a real Maverick? I think you'll have a hard time convincing someone born after 1980 that their new truck is not a Maverick. 

Still, I see the passion we have for nameplates as a good thing. I just think we need to be careful about telling someone their brand new $50,000 four-door is not what they think it is.

"Time will tell."

The "market"  informed us 25 years ago.....

"Time"  has already told.....
