Fortunately, under severe public pressure, Ford decided to cancel the project. They realized it was a better idea to return the Mustang to its roots. So, they went for a new design and technology, canceling the FWD Mustang project. And this is how the 1989 Mustang FWD may have looked if Ford had followed through with their plans.
