So Clarkson says the Mustang is 'ginormous' for the UK.
Can't we nail this one shut once and for all? The Mustang is large, for a GT/sports car, but not unique and certainly not ill-fitted for UK roads when compared with many others.
So - the Mustang: Width (inc mirrors) 2080mm. But then, the Mercedes SL is 2099mm. The BMW 6 coupe is 2090mm. Etc. Both GTs.
I won't even bother with the exotic sports cars from Italy for width, but, if it is simply a case of what is suitable for UK roads, then going by the criteria of Clarkson et al, nobody should drive a SUV (which is true, IMO, but not on account of size!). For example, a smaller SUV, like the Jaguar F-Pace, is 2175mm wide. A BMW X3 is 2184mm wide. And so on.
I thank you
