Maybe my understanding of this is way off base but I just was thinking about it and curious to what other people think.

Look how many cars shared the Mustang platform through the years.
1974-78 Pinto and Mustang 2
1979-2004 Fox platform,Fairmont,Cougar,T Bird,Capri,Mustang.
2005-2014 Dew 98 platform,Thunderbird,Jaguar S type and XF,Lincoln LS,Mustang(modded into D2C kind of like the Zeta 2 for us)
Trust me with 100,000 units a year or less other cars will be built on this platform.
