I think the new mustang will be quite a good car and one to watch, but it seems to have lost some of its american styling.
When I look at the front end I see some kind of Japanese thing!
I will have to see one in the flesh then make a decision.

As with all recent Mustangs, you need to see the sporty versions before it suddenly looks fantastic thumbup

Just as an idea at least:





As it's a Fud though, it'll just rust and fall apart and be slow hehe

Saw some at le man classic this year had a few parked up and they went out on track for parade laps.
I really liked it, these were lhd examples not as big as I expected I think they may do well if promoted right in the UK.

Are these going to be sold in the uk now? Bet we don't get the v8's if they do! But would be good to have a rival other than German ste, no offence stig, (joking that was totally meant to offend)

RHD and V8 as well as the four-pot turbo. We don't get the V6.

Comes down to pricing - looks great, but it needs to be <£40k to get people to buy it. Good reviews so far too.

With the Camaro in the mid £30's, I can't see any reason why the Mustang would be higher.

I've already swapped my Monaro for a Mustang (albeit an old one that doesn't actually work).

I have no regrets... censoredragebangheadcursepunchcensored

I looked at one earlier this week, in Florida. Certainly showroom appeal was fine, nice clocks and the general looks are growing on me. They only had the 4 cylinder. Interior photo is mirror imaged so pedals/handbrake etc wrong smile




Still don't like the sound of these "Brembo" brakes and monster wheels we will have to suffer frown

Def one to watch and see what gets offered, trouble is I dint think they have mustang appeal and the finance and rhd is going to kill residuals.... Unless it isn't quite the stang we hope for. Standard looks its small and awkward

With V8 options diminishing over the next few years has to be one to look at but don't we think HSV will do a final run of the GTS as a collectors farewell car - surely that's worth waiting for?

While this is no doubt the case it's unlikely any will make it over here like the ute gts edition
Also at 20k more than the mustang, poor dealer support & no more lifetime warranty it's hard to justify
