American Mustang Winning The War In Germany

Importers are sold out of the Ford Mustang in Germany, and other parts of Europe and grey importers could benefit despite their higher prices and no warranties. The questions being asked surround why the car is so popular and why do other American cars seem to fall short?

780 Mustangs were registered in Germany last year, and this was more than the Audi TT, sporty Porsche, and the Mercedes SLC. The Czech Republic also saw more registered than the A5 or 4 Series BMW. This is an amazing achievement, and there are a few reasons why it is so popular. Price is clearly one area, like less than $49,000 is a bargain.

In Europe the purchase price given is final. Tax is included, and there are no further destination charges. The Mustang is up against the Ecoboost as well as the Civic R and Golf R.  it is also not a great deal more expensive than the Ford Mondeo, or Skoda Superb.

Price, however, is not the only reason but the fact that official Ford dealerships are now supplying it. Receiving a warranty is important and in some cases there is just a general mistrust of dealers considered to be unofficial.

Official availability is making all the difference and the well-tuned suspension along with an elegant interior that has not always been present is helping as well. European drivers had an interest in the Mustang for some time and when it faded the first time the Capri replaced it, but that also left the scene.
