No you can't.
You can hope, bet, expect, "see"....but not guarantee.

I don't believe for one second that the Mustang is selling in poor numbers due to an engine that the common Joe knows nothing about. That is one part of a bigger machine...and the Mustang way for the past three decades has been to focus on things other than performance, yes? Seemed to work given sales history...so why should this matter?

I agree with the part about the common Joe! Most of the Mustang buyers are not enthusiasts, they were just looking for a neat little sports car and the Mustang just happened to be there. Not everyone goes to the lots saying "oh they just redid the mustang's engine for MY2011! the v8 will have 400+hp and the v6 300+!!!!"....No they say oh that looks like a pretty nice little car and that is pretty much it.
