Blah blah blah. Journo's have been sprouting this junk since the late sixties and early seventies and here we are thirty years later and so are the V8's. I can't see much changing myself.

Of course Ford are going to try and gouge the price on the Mustang but if sales are no good then watch them quickly lower prices for the next model year. A company makes money by moving stock not sitting on it or having too much of it.

Holden did it with the introduction of the VF to make up for no mechanical improvements from the VE and AMG did it last year dropping almost 70k on one of their S class models here I think it was.

Affordable V8's will be around for a long time to come I think. Ford and GM will be offering something despite stopping manufacture and Fiat Chrysler Australia's new boss has stated that he wants to get the charger,challenger and ram out here, all of which can come with a V8, in order to bolster the dodge brand out here and tap into more of the performance market alongside the SRT 8 chryslers and jeep.

Things may actually just be getting better.
