There is a harsh reality coming from Ford.

Instead of having American Ford, Aussie Ford, and British/German Ford designing and selling different cars to their markets, an international car line is coming. The first of these is the Fiesta. There are also ridiculous plans to make the Falcon fwd and based on a Taurus. Soo, if the Mustang is to stay in the lineup, Ford will probably have to make it more internationally appealing.

Diesel Mustang anyone? *idea*

Btw.... Australia has a good balance between their 5.4 quad cam V8 and their DOHC I6 Turbo models and i feel Americans will approve of these as well.

Top Gear Australia did a decent comparo. (Yes it is Holden Vs Ford but it still OHV V8 vs I6 Turbo)
