lets just say if this really happened would you still buy a mustang if it was made in japan or if chevy made it,or maybe ford continued the 99 stlye and the 05 was called the cougar would you buy it ? are people buying the car cause they like it or cause its a mustang?

 

Wow, this topic came from left field.

I'll try to answer this....... I'm definatley buying it because its a mustang, but the name alone doesn't win me over.

As far as a Japanese mustang......

 

Friends don't let friends smoke crack...

step away from the pipe....

 

First part of ?#1, NO
Second part of?#1, maybe
Second?, BOTH :usa:

 

Like the Toyota Cavilear???,,,,,,,got a friend in japan that has one,,,,,im still trying to understand it,,,,,,

 

I am buying based on the overall reputation of the Mustang, and lets not forget the V-8 growl. I am tring to escape the purrrrr of a Japanese engine.

 

If it is still RWD and V8, i'll buy it

 

I would buy it. Honestly, I prefer GM. However, I like the mustang because there are not many (None IMO) other cars in its price/performance/style bracket. I also think camaros are butt ugly and would never own one over a mustang.

Corvettes on the other hand

 

Well, Toyota did a fairly decent copy of a 7/8 scale Mustang with the mid-70s Celica Liftback:



Of course, it wasn't called a Mustang, but it did sell pretty well.

 

I think I am with Galaxie on this one....

If its a V8 & RWD I would buy it !

 

I pray every breath that it will never happen.

 

Japan (Toyota Only) : Yes, I happen to like Toyota's
Chevy : NO
Cougar : Maybe
Nameplate : Partly

 

Only Ford for me!

 

I am buying it because of the style and the overall package...All the cars today look alike, I would like to be different

 

Nope, plain and simple.
USA+FORD = MUSTANG

 

Exactly

 

Mustang is supposed to be the American ICON right? So I would say no, I guess I like the Ford brand overall. It is funny you bring this up, you kind of scared me when I first saw the title of the topic, being that on blueovalnews.com they had a topic saying that there was supposed to be some big news in regards to Ford and Toyota. Thank god is not this, whew.

 

I have a 1969 mustang and want to park my 05 next to it. 1. I don't know of many Toyota's that people spend a lifetime rebuilding, restoring, or racing. 2. "Mustang is supposed to be the American ICON right?" 3. USA+FORD = MUSTANG 4. Besides, I think it'll be pretty cool having the same model car 35 years apart. I don't think there are any foreign cars out there that people go to car shows, events or forums to talk about. My .02's.

 

I'm buying the car for may different reasons... I like American icons -especially V8s :usa:
I've owed several different Jeeps, a Mustang for a very brief period, always wanted a Vette, T-Bird or Eldorado. Even considered Harleys, Indians & Buells.

-They won't put a V8 in a Wrangler -believe me I've tried everything short of HESCO or AEV...
-Caddy killed the Eldo'.
-Refused to pay 10k over MSRP for a T-Bird -and now wouldn't want one even @ 10k under invoice!
-The Vette was almost a done deal -even had the allocation timed for museum delivery... but backed out.
-Gave-up on bikes after 4 bad incidents happened to co-workers

If the Mustang was made by anyone other than the big 3, I wouldn't bother!

 

is this post in response to the rumor that is going around?
