A retired friend of ours has just got rid of his 2012 Model Mustang and turned up yesterday in this new 2015 GT Model. OK it is a typical American Sports Car but nice, but what bugged me was the price he paid $38,000 (a‚¬46,000) with all of the Bells & Whistles and new leather seats to be added (I suppose the term is Fully Loaded). The price in Germany for this V8 Model is a‚¬42,000 ($46,000) which is the basic trim. Check out the video (+'s / -'s) :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Grp3TCI ... utu.beThis is a Ford Mustang GT / 5,0L TI-VCT V8 / 435 BHP / 400 lb.ft Torque / 6 Speed Auto Shift with Paddles / 0-60mph in 4,5 secs. I am just waiting for a drive or at the very least a ride - Dave

Dave, it certainly looks the part and even at European pricing will be more than competitive with only the Nissan 370Z being anywhere near? Very tempting, just wish I was a little younger - on many levels!

Peter, you are only "Young" once so enjoy it while you can ?Y?‰ and this guy is also in his early 70's so there is hope for us yet. Incidently this Guy was in Scotland @ the Edinburgh Tattoo recently and loved it - Dave

Just need to convince the wife, perhaps move with her back to the US! Might actually happen if our Politics continue to be headed in the 'leftist' direction!

I thought that this was rather an interesting innovation from Ford a Knee Airbag installed in the Mustang - Dave https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedi ... esign.html

Very clever although once exchanged for a metal one I suspect my knees will withstand rather more than the rest of my body. There again the rest of it is far better padded since I began to hobble around (pre-op) that is. I'm hoping a few months on my cross-trainer should begin to correct that though!
