Is it not??? Maybe because every journalist and commentator has been calling it that it just sunk in.

Yeah, I forgot about that. When I saw pictures of the Mustang protos (not sure which level, can be mules), appeared to me to be still using S197 platform.
CD6 platform is showing to be a good base, if they can use that to improve rigidity and NVH (Mustang sometimes is bashed because of the “rental car” base platform), I think it would be good. Also, Ford may be able to do as Stellantis and prepare a car that is able to carry ICE, PHEV and EV on the same with small modifications, which can give a longer cycle.
