This does seem like the type of article that is drawn up just to get clicks.

True but we have heard rumors and rumblings. The magazines have pretty much all reported that the Mustang is staying around as Ford's only car and that it will share a platform with the new Explorer

I don't think anyone knows what the hell FCA is doing, that's why no one is questioning it lol. I wouldn't be shocked if FCA can't merge with anyone that Dodge and Chrylser get shuttered and they just roll with Ram and Jeep.

Did anyone know what would be going on with the GT500 4 years ago? Ok so since we don't know what is going on with the Camaro in 2023, can anyone definitely me what the Mustang and Challenger will be doing in 2023? So then why the Hell is the Camaro the only one they're questioning? It is bullshit.

While yes earlier I agree this seems like the type made just for clicks there is some evidence that at least makes me go hmmm I could see that happening.
1. Al O getting plucked away from the Camaro. He's the guy that got it where it is and he's in another department.
2. The sales are bad (segment wise all bad)
3. there's really been no rumors about the 7th gen. I think everyone just assumed it would go on Alpha II like the CT4/5
But to me there is way more reasons to keep it around that have already been mentioned. Mostly the plant won't survive on just CT4/5 production. That alone to me makes the car worth carrying into a 7th gen. I would say it's more likely that we see a 7th gen than not.
