Join us in petitioning Ford Group Philippines for the Mustang

By Vernon B. Sarne —

Ford Mustang

Yesterday, you read here that Ford is displaying the Mustang at the 2012 Manila International Auto Show. Turns out this isn't 100 percent sure yet.

"There is a chance," says Anika Salceda-Wycoco, Ford Group Philippines' assistant vice president for communications. "But we're still working through the final timing."

She adds: "There are a lot of discussions going around about the Mustang, and that's understandable. However, we have not confirmed its final availability and the launch."

According to Salceda-Wycoco, the main highlight of the Ford display at MIAS will be the all-new Ranger.

The Ranger is nice and all, but let's face it: The Mustang is so much more awesome. With all due respect to Ford's new pickup, it can't generate the same kind of excitement as only a Mustang can.

If you agree with us, take the poll below. We need to convince Ford that Filipinos want to see the Mustang now.

 

Do you want to see the Ford Mustang at the 2012 Manila International Auto Show?

    this is true but let's face it:
    the mustang can't generate the same kind of sales as only the ranger can. :)

    I sort of agree with barry and yokam888. Awesome Mustang is awesome, for sure, but the Ranger (and Focus if they had planned on that instead) will generate sales. And the Focus has a really interesting/striking interior. :D

    Dodge brought in the Charger and Challenger, Chevrolet with their Camaro. There are several European sports cars around and I'm tired of seeing modified tuner cars everywhere. What's the problem Ford? I know the Mustang will be happily embraced bay the Filipino's because it is a Ford, and as far as i know, it is one of the best affordable sports cars being sold.

      Yep. In marketing its called halo effect. Show the people how cool the Mustang is and how cool the Ford brand is and who knows they might walk away with a Fiesta or a Ranger.
