Default 2015 Mustang or European-styled Mustang?

Ford tweeted this a while ago:

What do you think? Is this hinting that the 2015 Mustang will be Euro-styled or is this a Europe-only Mustang offering?

What do they mean it's "heading to Europe"?! Isn't the Mustang already sold in Europe?

no it has to be privately imported. i mean in a roundabout way its sold, but not directly and its not cheap.

kinda like the situation with the skyline a few years back iirc. you want one you pay to import it.

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. I always thought they were sold in Europe. I knew they were expensive to acquire over there, but I had no idea it was because of import costs. I just learned something new today.

So is this the "confirmation" that everyone was waiting for appearance-wise for the 2015 models? I mean, everyone was already hinting at the idea that this was gonna be the new body style, largely based on the concept and Ford already presented it as the 2015 Mustang in Europe. I think this should eliminate most doubts now.

There hasn't been a concept Mustang presented yet to my knowledge. There HAS been a concept model, called the EVOS, on which, the concept Mustang may be based. So we've seen a concept of a potential concept. No one should get their knickers in a bind just yet.

It's just Ford announcing the next Mustang will finally be directly sold by Ford in Europe.

They also released a 30 second audio video teaser to announce it. I posted about it at https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...ound-clip.html
