Mustang outsold the 911 in Germany last month, 780 Mustangs to 752 911's. Seriously. http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/08/autos/ford...-sales-germany/
Well, at half the price that probably does make sense, but still, Mustang? |

Why not? Because it has back seats? So does the 911. And in either one of them, they're essentially useless to most adults.
What qualifies a car as a sportscar? To tomrev's point, does the 911 really count as a sportscar now? I'd lean far more towards luxury or luxury-tourer than a sportscar. And when Porsche finally does do away with the manual in favor of the PDK on all cars, I'd even consider the Mustang more of a sportscar. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) The lines between sportscar, sports-coupes, tourers, luxury-tourers have definitely gotten blurred the last few years. There's so many gadgets and luxury options on even the basic cars, it's hard for me to tell what is what. |
