Ford Sold More Mustangs Than Porsche Sold 911s In Germany Last Month
It turns out German car buyers dig the new Ford Mustang. Really dig it, in fact. According to Autoblog, last month Ford shifted 780 of the things in the country, beating both the Porsche 911 (752 units) and the Audi TT (708 units) on home turf.
It’s not like the Mustang is a cheaper car than the TT in Germany either - as Autoblog points out, the starting price for the Ecoboost Mustang is actually higher than the cheapest TT. And as a bonus, the muscle car also beat the Boxster and Cayman last month, with Porsche selling a combined 642 units.
So, given the choice, what would you have: an Audi TT, a Porsche Cayman/Boxster, or a Ford Mustang?

Ford Mustang GT ! ^^ I’ve always wanted a V8 and I rather have the (not so) thirsty V8 instead of turbocharged four-pots (which aren’t bad engines).
Need I point out the elephant in the room?
Porsche died. It isnt the same anymore.
porsche cayman every day
they also sold more timex watches than rolex.
Opel Astra outsold both.
Conclusion:
Opel Astra is better than a Porsche 911 or a Mustang.
oh wait…
for quality i take the Porsche …. but to drive ? yes i take the mustang … but it would need to be a special version.. 350KR…… , or my favorite 2012 Boss 302
Actually I think this is normal. Just look around for like 30 minutes and count the amount of Porsches. You see them everywhere! A Mustang is something you don’t see often in Western Europe and as far as I know: You buy a sportscar to get noticed. Porsches don’t get noticed anymore (or it has to be an RS model with fancy colours).
That’s the reason Mustangs get good sales numbers.
This explains why I’ve been seeing so many of them
Are you guys really wondering why? The Porsche costs at least twice as a Mustang. And both are pretty cool. Plus you can get a compressor in the GT. Then it will have at least 650HP and 0-100-3.7. Still it will be twice as cheap.
