That was fast: Ford is reportedly preparing an all-new Mustang for 2020
Can't wait for the next Mustang? Well, you might not have to sit on your hands for long. Its production has reportedly been pushed up by two years.
The current all-new Mustang went on sale just last year. But according to a report from a group of accountants and consultants called UHY Hacker Young, Ford has pushed the all-new Mustang up from 2022 to 2020.
Spotted Thursday morning by the eagle eyes at MustangG6, page 15 of the UHY Automotive Industry Forecast report states: "Program code for the next‐generation Mustang (S550(ng)) has been changed to S650 and the SOP has been shifted back from January 2022 to May 2020. Subsequently, the EOP for the S550 has been moved to April 2020."
If you're wondering, SOP stands for "start of production" and EOP stands for "end of production." That means the current Mustang will end — according to UYH — in April 2020 and the next-gen Mustang will begin in May 2020.
If you're wondering why Ford would want to put the pedal to the metal on the Mustang production schedule, it might be because the iconic pony car isn't enjoying the sales dominance it once had over the Chevy Camaro. Or perhaps Ford just has a bunch of great new ideas for the 'Stang.
Either way, it's nice to know that its not being put out to pasture anytime soon.
