Now that is a car. I must admit to initially being concerned that in trying to fit-in with what other - mostly European - manufacturers were doing, Ford would water-down the S550 'Stang too much. I'm so relieved to see that it appears to be in rude health.

Sadly that is the one model that won't be coming to Europe (at least not officially)

Yes; it seems everyone here's more impressed with diesel repmobiles. Still, the GT sounds like a cracker too. The question for me is whether I'll be able to run one in a few years.

The GT is a performance bargain when you compare it to what you can get from other manufacturers for the same money, and even though I wouldn't buy the I4 turbo as to me a Mustang is a V8 or I'll have something else thanks, you can't argue against the performance stats of the I4 Turbo for the money either.

If I had £65k burning a hole in my pocket I'd be in the queue for a GT350 for certain.

It's an Aston Martin for less than half the price

I'll have a 10th of the running costs too!

Well they are here now - saw a white GT being unloaded at Inchcape Ford in Bracknell this morning!

I was driving past so only caught a glance but from what I saw it looks fantastic in the metal (despite the white)!

Must be the only new car I would actually want to buy - off to see what I can find down the back of the sofa in case Euromillions fails to deliver again!

So much want. Thank you Ford.

There's a white GT that's been doing the rounds between Guildford, Bracknell and Farnborough. Think the dealers are all part of the same group.

Been to see it a couple of times at Guildford. It's a US model.

Oh, that is probably it then!

I didn't have long enough when I drove past to see which side the steering wheel was, bit I will still be going in to take a look anyway!
