S3 all day. Not everyone wants to look like a midlife crisis

So glad I no longer own boring unreliable Audi’s. Give me a Mustang any day.

I've no objection to the idea of marking a 60th anniversary, but I'm not sure I'd want it emblazoned on the sides like that.

Ah I thought Ford was advertising for its target age demographic

Another 9 years and I can get one then!

I think the pre face lift ones look better ie 2015-17 plates. Although i agree they seem to be great value for money, even if not as good as in the US

I've had both. The 2019 car has some nice upgrades (heated steering wheel, better quality leather, generally seems better built) and it sounds much better. Plus a bit more power and much better auto' box.

Ok cool. Yes i heard the refresh has a better sounding exhaust but this can be changed. As long as it sounds throaty, not any silly pops and bangs! Although Ive also heard bad things about the autos especially the 10 speed, so for me it would 100% be manual, plus i think Mustangs should have a manual. If nothing else makes it very rare in today’s market, a NA V8 with a manual!

This generation looks quite a bit like a Camaro, which has not been the case before.

My thoughts exactly, no bad thing in my opinion.

Or The Original?



I'd go original

Prefer the new one in that spec, though a 67 fastback is peak Mustang for me, the convertible and notchback don’t do much for me.

[wistec1]

I only like just a few of the many Fords spawned over the years and the yanky doodle dandy versions are not in the mix. Having said that I can't overlook the opportunity to celebrate purely based on the simple fact that it's ICE and that should be enjoyed. No EV's welcome at this anniversary party Thankyou. Off you piss.

Would prefer it without that black panel under the grill.

Something like this:
.

yes that looks much neater.

[smilo996]

Average age of the likely owner?
How Fawd make that car look worse with each new iteration is quite an achievement.

What has the age of a buyer got to do with anything?

[BlackTank]

So I've got a modded 6spd Mustang now and have previously had an imported Camaro and Corvette. So I AM the target audience for Ford and I think this convertible looks great. For this model Ford doesn't give a st about buyers that prefer an utterly forgettable (except when it breaks down and spends 3 weeks at the dealer) VAG Audi in PCP grey.

[Killer2005]

I like this very much.

Thats a pretty dull looking way to celebrate your 60th in the same way that an S3 seems a pretty bland way to spunk £50k.

You laugh, but its actually not too far off the truth, I recently bought a yellow 2018 Mustang and I'm 31...I joined one of those Mustang owners groups on FB, and I feel like the youngest one on there!

I'm in the market for one. Sadly there are not nearly enough manual V8 convertibles out there, so then fining one in the 'right spec' at the 'right price' is proving to be an exercise in patience.

They did similar for the 50th, offered some different paint colours. Shame really, you’d think they’d do something epic for such an icon of a car, but nope.
