2015 Ford Mustang - General Discussion

[Slash]

In Europe land? Yes. Welcome to excessive car taxes, motherf:censored:r. If you have a big engine, odds are you are going to take the full brunt of said taxes...

5.0L

Big engine

Hey! rest of Europe! Fun shouldn't be taxed!

Most of the new Mustangs wouldn't end up as fun cars, even if they weren't taxed. Actually there's a chance they wouldn't be that much fairly priced in that situation either, as the car without the tax is still easily over 50,000€, which is closer to BMW M4 than the US pricing. And there are plenty of better cars for fun out there for much better price, while the Mustang is too large to be fun to drive on most public roads in Europe.

In the UK they're very competitively priced. Makes a change that we get a better deal for once.

Eventhough we will get our Mustangs after the continent gets theirs.

Well, it's big enough of an engine for politicians to destroy its price tag with taxes... I'm surprised that the Camaro SS didn't cost more than 100.000€ here in Portugal, although it did get very close to that.

Eventhough we will get our Mustangs after the continent gets theirs.

Look at it this way; you may get them late, but you'll get them at a better deal.

5.0L

Big engine

Jesus H Christ. It's not the 1970's any more. The average engine size for new cars in the US is 3.2lts. 50% of new cars sold (2011 figures) are now 4cyl engines. So yeah, even in the states, 5.0ltrs is considered a large engine.


111.600 euros does seem excessively pricey. A convertible GT in the UK is only £37,000, which is the equivalent of 51,000 euros.

5.0 is a big engine. I would say 3.2 ltrs as a new car average is large too

5.0L

Big engine










(I know I know)

Anything over 2.5 liters (or about 1.6 liters turbocharged) in a car that will realistically only carry one or two people at a time is plenty big.

For a full-sized American truck, eh... it's just about right.

5.0 is a big engine. I would say 3.2 ltrs as a new car average is large too

I'd say 3.2L is the perfect sized engine.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

I'd say 3.2L is the perfect sized engine.

It isn't, though. It's big.

 

[Adamgp]

It isn't, though. It's too small.

FTFY.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

FTFY.

Thank you, my mistake

I think we can all agree it's too big...






For a motorcycle.

For a motorcycle, I guess so.

I'm not a bike person, but I don't know if I'd want to straddling that much horsepower.

A new Mustang customizer is on the way.

as the car without the tax is still easily over 50,000€

Without taxes, not a single Mustang would be over 50k here, see below:

The last column shows Dutch prices without any taxes (and the column next to it are final prices, with all taxes added).

 

[VXR]

Maybe the Netherlands' lack of large scale, home grown car manufacture has caused higher prices overall? Not much revenue for your government unless through vehicle taxation?

 

[niky]

Goes two ways... Taxation of imports is supposed to help prop up local manufacturing... But having artificial barriers like that simply means that many indigenous manufacturers end up being uncompetitive, since they tend to rely on tax barriers to protect them.

Which is why America doesn't export pickups. But they do export Mustangs. Luxury item like that, you can sell at almost any price. (Don't scoff. For a majority of the world, anything with more than a hundred horses is a luxury).

 

[Slash]

Been seeing more and more of these lately. At first glance, it looks like a normal Mustang and blends in. But when you take that second look it becomes very apparent its a 2015.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I see one every single morning, when I'm leaving for work the guy is always going to opposite way down the street. Seems both of us are on a repetitive schedule.

 

[catamount39]

Saw a midnight blue 2015 Mustang convertible the other day, man it looks good!

[Leonidae@MFT]

Factory Pimp My Ride? Oy..

 

[VXR]

That looks totally fun and awesome. Nice work, Ford.

 

[unit-one]

Saw the new Mustang a couple days ago. It looks much better in real life than on the pics.
It's a 50 year anniversary car (?) with a 5.0 engine X_X

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Damm, that's not bad, not bad at all. The fact that it is a "50th Anniversary" version must mean that it's one of the early examples (that version is a special edition version of sorts, IIRC).

 

[unit-one]

I've checked their website and they are selling a black version without the decals.

The price tag is 54700 eurobucks (with taxes)

 

[Niku Driver HC]

54.000 Euros for a V8 'Stang? Damm, that's a bargain, compared to what it'll probably cost in countries such as mine... What website has that car, if you don't mind me asking?
