    2018 was an extremely short model year. They closed the order book on Mar 6, 2018.Normally you can order new cars into April at least or May. The 2019 order book opened about 2 weeks later. I’m sure the shortened availability plays a factor in less sales for 2018.

    1991 Mustang 5.0L LX - Titanium Frost CC Metallic, MM Suspension, Bilstein shocks, Cobra brakes, Edelbrock heads, polished GT-40 intake, new interior
    2018 Mustang GT - Performance Pack, Magneride, Auto, Forged wheels, Active exhaust, Lightning Blue

    What are truck sales like because those are over inflated in price imo.

    Mustang is no longer a sporty car for the average joe.

    Disagree, pull back the option list and the car is well within reality.

    one other factor could be the sharp downturn in the economy that began in 2008 - the lack of sales may be an indicator the economy is not recovering as well a the experts may want us to believe...

    5.0 is like 37k plus taxes at the baseline with manual. Ecoboost is just under 30k.

    It's true though the Kia Stinger is 47k with the good engine and similar acceleration performance as the 5.0 Mustang. I guess everything is stupid expensive these days, not just the Mustang. Actually the more I research, the more value the S550 presents.

    Whether it’s inexpensive or not is personal opinion. It’s priced competitively in the segment. A 1992 Toyota Camry started at $14,368 US. For 2019 it starts at $23,645 US. That’s about a 65% increase, but about on par with inflation.

    In 1987, a Mustang GT was about $20,000 CAN. Using inflation, that would be about $44,000 today. Pretty dead, on I’d say.

    Well, I just figure apples to apples. GT to GT.

    That's kinda my point: they don't have an inexpensive "LX" version anymore.
    Been saying for years would love it if Ford would offer a no-options Mustang. Would also make for a much lighter Mustang.
