This story is about two famous cars, the Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Mustang, going in different directions. Mark Reuss, who is in charge of GM, talked to the media about the future of the Camaro. He wants it to be affordable, fun to drive, and liked by many people. He suggested a price similar to the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV, which starts at $43,295. But, there are some challenges.
The new Camaro would be electric and have four doors, unlike the traditional coupe style. GM still needs to figure out how to make enough electric cars like the Equinox EV before they can make this new Camaro.
Meanwhile, over at Ford, CEO Jim Farley shared his ideas about the Mustang with Autocar. He said they would never make a Mustang that isn’t really a Mustang. He doesn’t want to put a Mustang badge on just any Ford SUV. However, he thinks a four-door Mustang could work as long as it has the same spirit as the original. He also mentioned making a hybrid Mustang but ruled out a fully electric one.
Farley also mentioned making the Mustang lighter and improving its performance. Ford is working on new versions of the Mustang, including a special track-day model called the GTD, which costs around $325,000. They might also make a cheaper version of the GTD and other special editions. Ford is committed to making the Mustang better and more exciting.
Whether you’re interested in electric Camaros or hybrid Mustangs, it’s worth paying attention to what these executives are saying. They have the power to make big changes in the car world.
