I am a Ford tragic ..I'll always find it hard to buy anything else so I reckon at some stage it'll be something with a blue oval badge on it or will I take off my blue coloured glasses for the first time and buy something else .

If Ford keep heading down the Jim Hackett path by killing of cars pretty much entirely then that might have to be the case ..I hope at least the dear ol' Mustang survives the carnage so I can consider buying a new one when I retire in 6-7 years from now .

On the Mustang itself . I was surprised to read that Ford seriously underestimated the popularity of this icon in RHD initially . Quite a few Aussies like a bit of cubic displacement or forced induction , how could they under estimate that ? No wonder the Mustang has sold like it has in dear ol' Oz since it came here in right hand drive .

GM Camaro , Dodge Challenger etc. would probably sell in similar numbers too if RHD from the factory ever happened at prices comparable to Mustang . Mustang has proven that that market is worthwhile . .
