Question will be what the insurance companies in Europe are going to do. I can imagine that there is some lobby stuff going on in Germany because the price here is extremely cheap (no gas guzzler tax, no extra environment tax or what not)! It´s almost as fast as an M3/M4 that costs twice as much!
But if insurances rank it like an M3/M4 you´re talking about 5000 € a year (while a Porsche Cayman S costs about 1000 €/year) and that would mean sudden death.
well
the insurance market in Germany is very competitive. most car insurance companies are operating just at the break even Point or even below.
so the premiums will be only as high as absolutely neccessary...
there are 2 main factors:
a) how expensive is it to repair the crashed Mustangs
b) how expensive will be the damages caused by the Mustangs
a) we are looking at the average hours to repair certain damages and how expensive are the parts for These repairs. the right tailligt for an euro-spec camaro is said to be around 2000 euros! so: if Ford is asking idiotic Prices for certain parts, this will cause higher repair-costs and this will cause higher premiums... same about the time, that is needed, to do it: usually car companies work together with insurance companies to develope cars which are easy to repair to save OUR Money...
b) this is our responsibility: if no one of us in Germany will cause any damage, it will be much cheaper to insure a Mustang than a Ford Fiesta...
one last Thing: Ford Germany has their own car insurance Company. they should be able to offer reasonable premiums
