[activeuk]

Just spoke to bristol street ford birmingham about the 2018 mustang they said they have be told by ford uk not to push the 2018 mustang as it may not be here till 2019 if it comes.
There will be a mustang black edition before the end of the year but no details on it.
Would take it with a pinch of salt as we all know what ford are like

BS, once production line fires up in USA and order book open it will be the usual 9-12 months from then.

They are shitting it, Black Edition will no doubt be all the current un-sold custom pack cars with their wheels, chrome, mirrors and roofs painted black haha to make them look a bit meaner/sportier.

Problem Ford have now is the none petrol head customers, general consumer won;t want the current car, because of the NCAP bullshit, this could really become a major issue for Ford as the general public who had maybe considered one will now be scared away.

Will be interesting to see what happens with orders in light of the NCAP results. You need to do a fair bit of digging to find that question mark over the efficacy of the front airbags aside actual front seat passengers are generally well protected. I've had some serious work to do in convincing my wife that the Mustangs safe and I shouldn't cancel my order.
Still maybe if others do cancel it might reduce delivery times.

The Black edition was mentioned in Auto Express a while back... they call it Shadow Black
...but WTF... it's available in these colours: Platinum White, Triple Yellow, Race Red and Grabber Blue. Anything but black.
Henry Ford would be turning in his grave

I'll translate that as:

"Don't push the 2018 as we still have 2017 cars to sell, and that's going to be more difficult given the NCAP disaster. Tell them it'll be 2019....then they won't want to wait and will buy one now"

My wife spotted the Euro-NCAP thanks to a Facebook post by my brother, whom I will thank next time I see him addle: .

Luckily she is fairly analytical and concluded that the Mustang was still much safer than my old Caterham, so is not bothered especially as many of these electronic gizmos that it lacks we have never had on previous cars. The sales guy when I brought my Jag was most taken aback when Sir didn't want the automatic radar cruise control for £1200 as Sir has 2 perfectly functioning MK1 eyeballs, connected to his brain that then talked to the foot which looked after the brake pedal.

One wonders, airbags aside, if :ford: will come out with some sort of retrofit package (which for their customers is reasonably priced) for the electronic gizmos that the non US cars are missing (BLIS, lane departure etc) and boost the ratings up? It may not be cheap for them to do, but lots of unsold Euro and APAC Mustangs might force their hand?

Irrespective, I'm looking forwards to mine arriving!
