Ford’s iconic Mustang is poised to play a crucial role in Ford’s future by expanding beyond its traditional role as a single performance figurehead into a complete range of global models. And the company’s Australian arm looks like the source for all the necessary hardware.
In a secret product planning meeting last fall, key Ford executives discussed a bold strategy to take the legendary Mustang mainstream. Ideas include both sedan and wagon variants of America’s original muscle car, with those cars joining the traditional coupe when the sixth-generation Mustang arrives in U.S. showrooms in 2011, AutoWeek sources say.

One of the few times I agree with DASHOCKER. A sedan/wagon Mustang is not only wrong but an outrage. It is even more outrageous than an SUV Porsche...the Cayenne.
If THIS is what Ford stylists and marketers are screwing around with on the big salaries they make, it's time for more reforms at that company than we thought.
