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? |

I'm late to the party here, but wasn't the 911 actually a GT touring car by design, not a sports car? But then again as previously mentioned, what is a sports car?
As for why the Mustang sells in Germany? Potentially for the same reason many people turned to Euro cars in the 60s, 70s, and 80s - to be different from the rest of the crowd. Also agree the 997 and 991 have become big, highly complex cars that will require more expensive maintenance than our earlier air-cooled cars - technology is not lowering the cost of maintenance, I believe it has increased the maintenance intervals, but not the costs... Oh well, I digress... |
