Cool 2015 Mustang will launch in Europe. Announced with official video sound clip.

from http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78

Ford held its “Go Further” product presentation event in Amsterdam today where it has unveiled 15 new or restyled vehicles for the European market that it will launch over five years to revive sales.

But more importantly to Mustang fans comes the confirmation that Ford will sell the next Mustang directly in Europe. This means that European Mustang fans will no longer have to rely on private retailers importing the Mustang.

The company has also released this 30 second video teaser announcing the decision to bring the Mustang to Europe.

I'd welcome it! More options is never a bad thing.

For the European market, probably a 4...

that clip didn't sound like a 4 cylinder at all.

and i hope all those 4 cylinders stay in Europe.
this is America, where Mustangs run on 8 cylinders, not a puny sized tubo eco-named engine.

sorry to be a party pooper, but i am rather offended that Ford is offering a small 2.0L motor in a Mustang.
in a Fiesta or Focus would be great. i'm all for that. sell Fords to Europe and Australia in a gas saving turbo motor.
thats a great idea, just not in a Mustang.
I am a Mustang enthusiast on my 4th Mustang, and i believe a Mustang is an American icon that deserves to honor its long standing tradition in V8 horsepower.
I would never, ever, and I mean ever get a 4 cylinder Mustang!

There's no way that's a 4 cyl in the video haha but I think a 6 cyl eco-boost would be fine with me considering how beastly these new V6's are. But I REALLY hope they keep the V8! Been planning on getting a GT 50th Anniv so they better not crush that dream

They will keep the V8. They'll just offer more efficient options to offset the V8 MPG, making the average economy of the Mustang line better.

I'm on my third Mustang, but I guess our opinions on this are different...

I believe that for Ford to continue offering us the big V8 we want, they have to improve the overall MPGs for this line, especially with the recent law that Pres. Obama signed that dictates that car manufacturers must double their current fuel standards by 2025... That's a huge bump within the next 13 years... By offering a more fuel efficient model (like a turbo 4 as their cost/MOG leader) they might be able to keep the Mustang around another 50 years... I hope that FoMoCo is able to do both, increase MPGs and still sell a high performance V8...

Besides, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the old Fox body SVO's... they were turbo 4 cylinders...

Well as long as it doesn't look anything like this crappy design I saw I will be happy with whatever options they sell.. http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/tag/2015-mustang

If it does look like that, then I will make the cross into the darkside and buy a Vette
