Went to pick our new Fiesta ST up today and whilst we were there, we had a look around a Mustang convertible on show. It's a 5.0 GT auto and I personally think the price is absolutely insane 33k for the V8 coupe is sensible, but over 40k is ridiculous.
Anyway, here's some pics. Interior looks a bit naff and it doesn't look fantastic overall, but that's probably because it's the basic GT.

Isn't it full on American spec just RHD? Quality never be great, right?
Still, price isn't as insane as a Vignale Mondeo.

AFAIK it's the same as the US one yes, apart from something to do with the exhaust, which reduces power due to the steering rack on RHD.

Same. Shelby GT350R is full on awesome, but not coming to the UK apparently. Something to do with pedestrian safety

Can't imagine the sort of person that would buy the black one. Quite surprised to see a car with an actual price tag on it. Most say from £299 a month etc
Is the sort of car i imagine an elderly couple driving around vegas.

For an idea of figures. 2.3t coupe is £399 a month on privilege. Cost price is 28k. Add 5k for the v8 and it'll be easily over 500.

I've booked to hire one of these when I'm in LA next July. Doubt it will be the 5.0 GT but hope it will still be decent

Took one from vegas to the grand canyon back in sept well this years model doesn't look like there is much difference between them. Drove it 600 miles was so comfortable easy to drive loved the a/c in the seats only downside for was the poxy mirrors couldn't see anything in them so small. Cool feature was unlocking it at night and it projects the mustang horse logo on the floor by the doors nice little touch.

I'd have to be asking why there's an extra dot on the list of options and what they forgot to include.

The salesman did the sheet and he was about 19 so probably pressed one too many dots.

I wouldn't mind a 2.3T coupe, the reviews say they handle pretty well and the lighter front end makes it a bit more precise than the V8
