Time for a F***

[raving]

Time to try the oppositions new offering

Lets see how it sizes up

Warranty should be useful with the lights misting up etc after a whole 8 mile

I do like the look of the new Mustang, have to say....

Even if the bonnet shutlines do look a bit wonky?

[granjuiceymoose]

I quite like it

[raving]

Shut lines are a bit pissed esp where metal meets plastic & it looks worse on the front with it being yellow & seeing the black rubber seal between

[throwyourbike]

Booooooo!!!!!!

Interesting.

I keep threatening to go and look at one of these. V8 or 4-banger?

They get reasonable reviews (accepting they are more GT than racer) but the rear styling really puts me off.

Just cancelled an order. this looks terrible indeed. as for the misting lights ? pffftttt

V8 , for 30 odd k it is what it is , I ve got a Vf Gts & that dont look worth 20k more

I think that these are cracking looking cars and yellow really suits it. Lost count of the number of times I've been on the configurator 'building' one. I originally thought that the four pot turbo would be the one to have, give the traffic jams round where I live. Having driven a rather gutless V6 in the US, I think the V8 is the way forward.

Yes, they're certainly a bargain (IMHO), and also a car that I'd contemplate as a daily driver.

Not sure of the yellow, but that's personal taste. Have fun

I'm going to let it rust into small bits and post it to you...

I have a quote now, but the guy can only do Saturdays???

Someone is here even if I m not

The football oriented Management at GM VX have missed a trick here by not pressing the General to make some RHD sports stuff for over here i.e Camaro and Vette.

Look how F**d are milking the new Stang in their marketing hype. (Mind you, I bet it doesn't have 4G wifi like the new Astra?)

GMVX could have easily had a head start on Ford who have just woken up to the possibilities. All down to money I suppose, but with petrol heading down to 90p a litre ...............???? Happy Days.

I've no plans to sell-up anytime soon, but I have to say the Mustang is the front runner for me from a replacement point of view. Really love it and very tempted. It's different, it's cool and it's not German!

Will be a few more years in the VXR8 yet though....

[BlueDevil]

Id be interested to know how you get on with it.

[Xpuffin]

Went to look today.
Sadly all they had was a convertible to look at so came away undecided.
Looks lovely in yellow, good call.

[raving]

The cabs are vile shape I thought , orange looks good in the pics but more like salmon in the flesh

Is it cool though? I mean, every young mum I work with is talking about how much they want one.

Not against Mustangs at all, but give me a brutal looking one from a few years ago. The new one has European market written all over it.
