10 Speed Auto Transmission (10R80) Referenced on Ford Parts, North America Only?
As a Brit, I don't like the way that says "North American Market 10-speed auto".
That'd better be coming to ALL '18MY Mustangs

I'm sure they will come to the British version, too. I mean, I don't want see a modern Paul Revere running down the road saying "the Redcoats are coming," and all that.As a Brit, I don't like the way that says "North American Market 10-speed auto".

Hmm...hope that isn't the case...but Audi just did that with the S3 for 2017. NA didn't get the new 7 speed transmission or upgraded engine for the '17 model while the rest of the world did.As a Brit, I don't like the way that says "North American Market 10-speed auto".

I don't see why they would limit it to North America unless there is some regulation, qualification, or agreement that would prevent the sale of the 10 speed in other markets. You would think that after spending years and millions of dollars worth of R&D in a new transmission that you would want to sell as many as you could in order to recoup that R&D cost quickly.

Maybe it's a hint that the Export model won't get a Facelift? Like the Ford Fusion already got his Facelift in US but the EU "Mondeo", which is the same car, has not.
Or maybe they will only offer this in high Performance models (Mach 1, GT500?) which are like the GT350 north american exclusive

Good points but:
1 - The (Euro) Mondeo and (US) Fusion are built at different locations, so producing 2 different models wouldn't impact manufacturing efficiency at the plants.
2 - It's possible the 10-speed would be introduced on a hi-po version first (just as it was first seen on the Raptor, before the lesser F150s received it, but Ford needs this transmission is improve fuel economy across the Mustang line.

Maybe it's part of the agreement with GM since they co-developed it? I don't see any other good reason why the rest of the world wouldn't get it. They all come from the same factory.

Well remember the 10 speed is on the whole F150 lineup now coming up and the Raptor isn't even out yet.Good points but:

I think you all will get it but now maybe it will take a year to get it over there for the factory to make enough.

That's not exactly true. For the 2017 model the ONLY F150 getting the 10 speed auto are the trucks with the 3.5 Ecoboost. 2.7 and 5.0 still will run the 6R80. This points to a lower volume manufacturing capacity of the 10R80 till they phase out the 6R80 completely, which would coincide with both the entire F150 and Mustang lineups switching in model year 2018 along with what is anticipated to be a refreshed Expedition and I'm guessing the Transit will also receive the 10 speed transmission.

That's why you have a manual.
The 10 speed is for the auto folks and those that want better MPG. Plus if you've seen the videos of the 10 speed in the Camaro you'll see how fast that thing is off the line.
