Did Mustangs in Europe came to end?

[Gregs24]

I believe the reason they stoped the import is the upcoming Euro 7 in November 2025. That being said, if you order now, there is high probability car would arrive by November and that is the time Euro 7 comes in place. One more interesting thing. If you look at german configurator now, they dropped the price by @ 10% to approximately 60k € from original 66-67k. Seems like they are trying to sell out remaining stock.

November 2026 so not to do with that

ok, my bad if I messed up the date of Euro. I have been talking to another two dealers today, no one knows why but Mustangs are on hold, and no further info why or till when. I am glad I manage to get at least new one yet from left overs. I agree here in Europe you don’t see many US cars. Recently more than 30 years ago, but compared to US and EU cars in there, that is no comparable. It does not make much sense why this stop happened, however life is short and I do not want to waste any time on things I cannot change. There are some very good writings above I understand the point. Makes me feel a little fear what is going to happen in future as history kind of repeats. Therefore my advice for my fellows from Europe is - If Mustang or any other car you dreamed of is there, get it now. Tomorrow’s might be much darker…

Cutting through the political ranting - do these people not realise there is a NO POLITICS rule on this forum.

There is plenty of stock in most European countries at the moment of 2024.5 and a few 2025 cars so there is no reason to send any more over, especially with the uncertainty over tariffs. There are no factory orders as such only pre-built stock that covers most options. Dealers get very little information from Ford about this sort of thing.

As mentioned by others US designed cars DO NOT WORK in Europe as they are too big. As also mentioned US built cars from Non US car makers are built in the US and sent to Europe, such as BMW. I suspect these will also cease or slow for a period waiting for the outcome of any trade deals, although realistically these take years not weeks to conclude.

It's not that large cars like the Mustang do not work in Europe. There are a lot of large cars and trucks made by European brands, but they are not the daily driver for the average consumer. The average community in the States has been designed for car traffic and we have fewer buildings that have enough historical significance to prevent removal for expanding roads. Even so, I have been to many areas that are a challenge in a Mustang or F150. Mostly, old mining towns that have become tourist attractions. An example is Eureka Springs, in Arkansas. There are many areas like this, but for the most part, long distances, cheap fuel, and easy access to food and fuel stops, make US cars more practical. In Europe, the opposite holds true. Public transportation, high fuel costs and limited driving makes the average person less likely to want a large car. Ford might be better off resurrecting the Capri.

Derangement has nothing to do with whether you support something or not, but don't let your ignorance stop you from posting.

In the case of your TDS, yes, it does.

My ignorance? Nice personal attack/insult. Reported.

Also this comment is unironically hilarious to me because it’s essentially the same as saying Mike Tyson’s baby grand daughter pinched him so in response Mike Tyson knocked her out. If you’re gonna use that comment, compare the size of the entire EU’s economy to the US.

Seek help immediately. Seriously.

How much does the EU charge the US and how much did Trump announce on his famous Liberation day that he immediately walked back

Before Liberation Day, the EU levied a 10% tariff on US.

In contrast, the US tariff on EU cars imported from Europe was only 2.5%.

From Ford Authority

"Ford Mustang communications manager, Brandon Turkus, confirmed this to Ford Authority, noting that order banks for that particular model are still open in Europe, and the 2026 model will be offered there, too. “Customers can still walk into a dealership today in Europe and place an order for Mustang,” he added – at least, markets where the pony car is currently sold in that particular region."

That should be the final answer on the subject. The personal BS will never be resolved among children.

It really is!

By US standards the Mustang is not that big, but in Europe it is a large GT.

F150 etc are a joke over here - literally don't fit roads, car parks etc.

There is a new Capri EV but it is just a 'coupe / SUV'
