Only because no one else ever includes the entire quote....

“Frankly, [Mustang] have been eating our lunch. The low [transaction prices] of a four-cylinder ... that’s where the bulk of the sales are and that’s where our pricing strategy needed improvement. We plan to go head to head — and win.”


He was very specifically talking about on the low end. SS sales are fine and pretty much where they have always been expected to be. Al was discussing the lineup changes, including the addition of the 2.0T 1LE.
