If you do the dollar to yen conversion it comes out to a cool $59,500 MSRP.

For ****s and giggles I wanted to see whan a 2011 BMW M3 ZCP goes for in Japan and it came in at $132,000.

The Mustang is still the best bang for the buck...even in Japan

 

LOL.

Its definitely going to be a unique ride over there. Hopefully Vaughn Gitten's tour gave the stang a popularity boost there too

 

Instant drift classic! They may not take well to it's heft at first but the muscle will take on after a while. Probably be very cool to have one in Japan.

 

The price is unacceptable, and the question is why such high tariffs on "foreign" cars when they can sell their cars here without any tariff. Fair trade my a..!

 

Mustang 5.0 is ichiban!!!

 

No, it's not! It's very good!

 

I think some manufacturers get around this by opening plants in the USA, like toyota's, nissans, and Hyundai's do. Then when the cars are built here they can avoid high tariffs!

 

Yeah, you'd think that Japanese consumers would get sick of being raped on imports duties. If Japanese cars are so good, why can't they compete without tariffs?

 

thats not a bad price. asian cars cost more over there aswell

 

It'll be rare and ought to resort in a lot of them taking pictures of the car!

 

can't wait to see all the horrid, cheap body kits that will end up on them down the road.

 

Ichiban means #1...

 

In before unoriginal Fast & Furious jokes

 

Engines are taxed by the liter there right? That's why they try and work wonders with small displacement. If this is still the case, having a LS3 would be even more ridiculous. Coyote wins again it seems.

 

Although I live in Japan, I wouldn't have a Mustang here. Not interested in an auto tranny. Ick. Ford Japan doesn't offer manuals here.

Judging from the pollution haze in that photo from chive.com, I'd guess it to be Beijing. Wrong country.

 

Yep that's definitely China.

Anyways, I can't wait to go back on vaca to Japan. Such a fun country. Would be cool to rent a 5.0!

 

There is always a time for change. Maybe they don't offer them yet...

 

Ford actually sold SN95 Mustang SVT Cobras there for awhile. They were manuals I don't know why they wouldn't do it now.

My wife is from Yokohama, I love Japan and I consider it my 2nd home. You are right about the photo, I also thought it was Beijing..

A photo from 2 summers ago..



From Enoshima..

Cool pics Dave, funny how you remind me of my brother in law. It's stunning.
Would Yokohama be the same city as where they make the tire brand of the same name !

 

holy crap- my intent wasn't to be geographically correct. It's a Asian man taking a picture in a funny pose...


There...
