Pretty mean. Guy was mashing the brakes inching up. Not sure if asshat or testing something.

I think that's an EUDM model, as it has clear lamps and the badge on the rear in a circle.

Interesting I knew something looked different to me. I didn't like the circle badge at all or the lights.

That definitely looks like the Euro model; with clear taillights.

Here's the '15 GT I saw a couple months back:

Probably would've helped if I had my contacts in when I saw it. Almost thought it was a 2014 at first.

Any chance these have autobraking as an option like Suabrus Eyesight or Volvos City Safety?

Are we getting the U.S. reflectors? I hope not.

Yup, that's the Euro model. Clear taillights, big ugly mirrors and they all seem to have the faux gas cap. I would love to see a test car on the road, but I doubt they come down to Texas. However others have been spotted outside of MI. So far I've seen two, a competition orange Ecoboost PP and a Kona blue 50th LE. Gorgeous in person. I can't wait to see more in the showrooms.

I am very much interested to see what the price will be here in Yurop, because if it gets an unreasonable big price hike, like what GM does with Cadillac, the new Mustang will be dead on arrival here. People here still have the stigma that American cars are rather crap(see Chevy pulling out of EU) and don't like to spent money on them even if they are good cars. As Jeremy said the Mustang and other muscle/pony cars are viewed here as just posh, childish statements, not true performance vehicles.

Price will be the one thing that determines its success in Europe. It'll need a decent interior, decent handling and decent fuel economy as well, but the price is the most important factor. Price it in the neighborhood of a similar BMW and it won't sell. Make it as relatively cheap as it is in the US and it might actually succeed.

This is what I mean, price it over 50k Euro and this thing will flop so hard it will be commical. The 4cyl must be at around 35k, even that will be too high for a lot of people and maybe it will have a chance.

In the US the Focus ST costs $23.6, or less than what we pay in the Netherlands for a 100 hp Focus. More relevant is that the 2015 Mustang Ecoboost with the (standard in Europe) Performance Package costs $27.990 (€20.5k). I don't expect them to be able to achieve such a low price in Europe, but if they manage to put it at something like €28k before taxes it would be priced like a BMW 220i with a few options. Your quote of €35k (if they're including VAT taxes) doesn't sound too far off to me. Anything more and Ford is actively avoiding sales. They might have to include the Recaros for that price.
