It's vanished from the Ford website again...

Will we be getting insurance info?!

I've just noticed that?

Why has it disappeared, anybody know?
Since putting the deposit down I can't help but go on the website at least 3 times a day!

It disappeared a couple of weeks back too, then re-appeared a day or so later just with the finance option available in the configurator.

Last time i was very excited about the prospect of new information. This time, not so much.

Weird how any mention of the Mustang has disappeared from the Ford UK site. Even under the cars and future cars lists.

Maybe it was all a dream.

Well it's back, and...

I can't see any difference at all.

Anyone?

Nope - can't spot anything different. Probably a typo or something daft.

Here's a random question - does anyone know if the Navigation upgrade option will feature traffic data/alerts?

My dealer thinks it will (as their other cars do) but has no concrete info.

I'm tempted but there's not much point if I have to keep reaching for my phone to check for accidents etc on long journeys.

Think I read that it uses the system first used on Sat Navs called TMC.

Ford said on facebook it was a technical issue.

It's still pants though.

I remember back in January thinking that by August i'll deffinately have a build date, perhaps even firmed up delivery timescales, full spec brochure in hand and all questions answered.

Silly me!

If it works the same as a Mondeo with Sync 2 then yes. I like it & hope my Mustang is the same.

Thanks for that - I think that just nudges me over the edge to getting that upgrade!

One more question while I'm on it - the EU spec mentions the GT has "Dual Bright exhaust with rolled polished tips" while Ecoboosts have just "Dual Bright exhaust".

I thought the term 'bright exhaust' referred to the tips anyway - am I confused?

Also guys, looks like the RHD Mustang is now up on MoneySuperMarket.

It's listed under 'Ford' now, not just 'Ford USA'. Engine sizes are correct too.

Pretty much what you would expect, it's big, not a track car but the engine is great, interior pretty good and it's a Mustang!

I've been waiting for that vid.

Thanks Chris - now my wait is even more agonising!!!! hehe

Looks good in race red too - starting to wonder whether DIB (which is what I've got coming) is a bit too subdued.....?

A bit disappointed with Monkey's overall impression, I expected it to be more resolved and (E92 M3 like), clearly it's not, I just hope on our roads it's enough of a drivers car and not lacking in the dynamics stakes....

That review is EXACTLY what I'm expecting of the Mustang. In every way.

A couple of suspension mods should tip the balance towards a slightly sportier car and it should be just about perfect then. bounce

As a prospective owner, I was chuffed to bits with his impression......the fact that it's nothing like a BMW is a bonus...smile
