Update:

Ford: No way we'll make four-door Mustang

Company denies reports it is considering making Mustang variants.

Ford did toy with Mustangs in the 60's . A 4 door and wagon prototypes were built but never went anywhere from there .

Ford quashes AutoWeek’s ’Stang sedan report, announces Mustang-based sedan concept for Detroit


By BOB GRITZINGER

AutoWeek | Published 12/15/06, 3:32 pm et

Ford officials have “categorically” denied plans to build a sedan or wagon version of the iconic Mustang, but at the same time confirmed that the Dearborn automaker will show a Mustang-based, rear-drive, four-door concept at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January.

AutoWeek reported in its Dec. 18 issue and on autoweek.com that Ford product planners last fall met to discuss ways to take the Mustang mainstream and global, possibly by expanding the lineup to include sedan or wagon variants.

In a release issued Dec. 15, Ford said the company has no plans to expand the Mustang line. The release stated:

“Ford Motor Company today made clear that recent media speculation concerning an expanded Mustang line—including a sedan and wagon model to be sold in global markets—is not true. Mustang is an icon and will continue in its current form: a unique, two-door, rear-wheel drive, 2+2 performance car.

“At the 2007 North American International Auto Show, Ford will unveil a four-door, rear-wheel-drive concept car. The concept, known as ‘The Interceptor,’ is based on the Mustang’s rear-wheel-drive architecture but it is not a Mustang and no production plans have been announced. Additional information on the Ford rear-drive concept will be available Dec. 31, 2006.”

AutoWeek stands by its sources who say Ford is developing various models from the sixth-generation Mustang platform, due in 2011. Those sources suggest a four-door Mustang would be a strong option, especially in the global marketplace. Other options include a four-door Lincoln with independent rear suspension and a twin-turbo V6, which is rumored for a debut at the Detroit show along with the Interceptor.

I seriously think Ford needs to stop jacking around with this four door mustang **** and build a Mustang-based Cougar already. Mercury needs it BAD.

I never want to see these images again. When I saw the 1960's Mustang wagon concept I said the same thing. This is embarassing

Not to mention that with the Cougar in production, Pontiac would have a legitimate reason to make a Firebird...
