alexp999 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 That's the old one :P I posted up a spy shot a few weeks ago: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/48068-forget-the-rs-and-st-i-want-this/ Looking really good imo, I know I'm going to want one.

I don't think so (didn't happen with the Toyota 86 really), I think a lot of its success will depend upon how competitively they price it. Oh well, I guess the Focus will have to do for now <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 As much as the V8 might be nice, I know being realistic I would only pick up something like a 2.0 Ecoboost. I think that would be a great engine for the Mustang (in Europe at least), heck even a 1.6 Ecoboost might have a high enough output by then. It needs to compete with the likes of the GT86/BRZ imo, not be stupid £30k+ for the basic model. I'd like it to be around the £25k mark.

jamesm182 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Also the V8 will have silly road tax. At least at the moment if you buy an import V8 one you only have to pay something like £215 a year road tax as it's an import :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 2015 model is going to be much better suited to EU roads, put in a smaller ecoboost engine and it could be great fun round our country roads :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incontro Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Maybe we should all pitch in as a group, and buy one, and we can share the car on different days, etc. I'll do the honors of testing it out for y'all, just be 100% certain its safe. It might take me a week or so though, as I obviously wouldn't want any one getting hurt. ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 hehe ;) and let the battles commence! however, I think its safer that I take the fall on this one, if you and Steve had anything bad happen to you, who would update the forum? know all the passwords? I dont think we can take that risk. I am here mainly to move posts, stop swearing and look busy, I think I should definitely be the one to take responsibility and the risk! at a mere 50,000 dollars, all we need to do is sell our own personal cars, lungs, kidneys or livers and club together to buy a fraction of a share in the car? whose with me? this may be the only time we can permit for the sale of ones on body for pleasurable purposes in order to club together in this manner. Either that, or sugar daddy and pimp applications may need to be made :p 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesm182 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Just found this guys: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2013/10/16/business-us-autos-ford-mustang-idUKBRE99F17A20131016 Apparently Ford is revealing the new Mustang to selected media next week so there is a good chance of a leak! :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Oooh. Can't wait to see the final design in all its shiny glory :D I just hope they get the price point right, I am really going to want one, and I bet there is going to be a bit of a wait/queue!

Not that I'm fussy or anything I think they need to aim for the Pug RCZ and GT86/BRZ price point. Both are great value coupes, but I don't see one around every corner.

b1g_dav3 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 RCZ is icky, icky, icky. Looks like a blimp that went limp. I prefer the classic Mustang's if honest, just they're pricey somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz93 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 For those saying it should compete with the brz/gt86 price wise, personally I think ford will be aiming more at the a5/3series/C class with the mustang as I've seen a rumour that there will be a large (3.0?) diesel, and size wise, it's not a small car, it's about the same size/ shape of the coupe variants mentioned above. A well spec'd A5 coupe 3.0 tdi can cost £45000 so I doubt the mustang will be cheap. Probably not in the 40-50K bracket but not far off. That's my logic :P but may be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The mustang has always been an affordable car though. Just look at Ford.com and the price compares to a Focus ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz93 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Yeah I know where your coming from with the current generation being low prices for what you get, but think of all the re-engineering that's gone into this one as it's a new car from the ground up, plus the 'old fashioned' rear axle is cheaper than engineering the new Independent rear suspension, plus the cost of offering a RHD version. Plus European safety standards are a lot higher than the US, so with the focus ST it automatically met the US standards as it was designed in Europe. All in all the cost of all the quality improvements will probably have knock on effects in price, both state side and other markets. It's one of the reasons Ford hasn't bothered with a global conversion before. I really wish it is going to be around £25-30000 but I doubt it will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
