Hi,
I started a new thread last week.It was about a German review of the new Stang.
It was written there that the interior quality was poor and the new Stang would be bought in Europe only by "romantics".I found another article about the new Stang,this time the opinion of the Polish journalists is completely different -I translated some parts of it.Sorry for the quality of the translation - I am still learning

Ford Mustang-an American legend
"The interior quality is astonishing.Every surface of the dashboard is pleasent when you touch it.The driver and the passenger have a lot of space and it's easy to find a comfortable driving position(despite the fact only the height of the steering wheel can be set)
What we complain about is comfort of the rear seats.Legs of the rear passengers hardly fit the space between rear and front seats and there's no space for head.We also don't like the rear spoiler which looks "home-made".
The v-8 engine behaves like Mcquenn's Mustang.If you want to spin the wheels you will have to turn the ASR off(...)
We must admit Ford engineers did their best.The suspension behaves very European.The steering is very precise and accurate.Even gear-changing is similar to European sport cars(very precise)
Mustang is a car that would make a success in Europe.But Ford unfortunately is not willing
to release the wild horse abroad.But we are ready to bet that many of those cars will appear at the European roads.Not the most important but important thing is the price.The Mustang GT costs only $25.000.For comparison a Golf GTI costs 24000 Euros.Nobody in Europe will get such a powerful and beautiful car anywhere here-the private importers are already waiting..."

I have to admit that I agree with them.

Nice review except for the fact that the ASR do not have to be turned off to get wheelspin. I can spin the wheels in my 05 GT with the traction control on and I also get rubber in 2nd gear. Did they really test this car? One wonders with that BS line.

What magazine was that, and what is the site?

I have friends in Poland and hope to be working there next year. FYI, there is a Mustang club in Poland.

It is not taken from the internet.It comes from the Polish version of German AutoBild called "Auto Swiat"-"Auto World"
There's a picture of the article attached.

A reviewer based in Europe would not refer to the suspension being "European." That just sounds stupid and made up IMO.
