No ACC for the EU Mustang

[Double]

We know there are some differences between the US en EU Mustang but what would be the reason for not having an ACC option ?

The attractive price I guess.
It will come in time, the European manual is mentioning the 'ACC (if equipped)', so for later models like the 2017 or 2018 it might become one of the options.

Hope not - If I can't have it, I don't want anybody else to have it either! ;)

Has it been physically confirmed that the cars definitely have normal CC or are we just assuming this is the case? It's not listed in the (latest) promo material. The steering wheel buttons are there, but they might just be disabled. This wouldn't be unusual.

Now that the European cars are being tested, have any of the reviewers mentioned this either way?

Surely they wouldn't dare keep the buttons if no CC

CC comes as standard just haven't seen ACC as standard or as option.

They've kept the tri-bars for example and it probably looks better than having 'blanked out' buttons or a big gap on one side of the wheel.

They could have at least changed the symbols though. What would be the universal symbol for "fu** you, export market"?

I've got disabled buttons on my BMW steering wheel (for the built in bluetooth I don't have) so it's not exactly unprecidented.

Then why have they fitted the ugly lower grill that is needed for ACC.

Most of Ford's decisions in the case of the Euro/UK seem to be very puzzling.

Well that different lower grill in the US is for V6, Ecoboost, PP GT and ACC right ?

So there can be any reason for the EU GT to have that specific lower grill. Lets hope its for ACC and they just havent released the info yet.

Also on the German pricelist, stated as :
'Geschwindigkeitsregelanlage'
I think this stands for Cruise Control, maybe our German friends on the forum can or will confirm this?

It has also been established that the different lower grille is present on cars with block heating. Personally I think it may also have to do with the changed cooling set-up for the euro-spec that allows you to drive faster for longer periods of time on the Autobahn.

Its encouraging that CC is mentioned on Dutch and German websites, but I think the Ford info accross europe hasn't always been consistent and accurate. If they're listing it and the cars don't have it, at least you can cause a fuss. In the UK, its not even listed.

about info across europe you are absolutely right: italian website and info continuosly reports "rear AND FRONT parking sensors". I highly doubt it will be true as it would be the only country in the world with front parking sensors in a 2015 Mustang

Probably a third party hardware intalled by local dealers.

By the way, is the front parking sensors obligatory in Italy?
