    Will a twin-turbo Mustang come to Australia?

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Mustang Ford Mustang Advice Ford Mustang 2016 Volkswagen Volkswagen Advice Volkswagen Golf Volkswagen Golf Advice Volkswagen Golf 2016

    I'm replacing my 2011 VW Golf R with either a new R or a new V8 Mustang. It's for city driving mainly with the odd long highway trip for myself and my lovely lady and enough luggage for a long weekend. I'm not bothered by economy, or ultimate performance. I want a decent drive on weekends and satisfaction of ownership. Which way do you suggest? Also, I hear rumours of a 10-speed auto and a 4.2-litre twin-turbo Mustang in the pipeline, is this true?

    It seems to me that they're quite different cars; the Golf R is an under-the-radar raider, the Mustang an in-your-face statement. If you want an exhilarating drive on those weekends away go for the Golf, if you want a more leisurely fun drive with a high look-at-me factor go for the Mustang. For my money I would choose the Mustang. There is talk of a twin-turbo Mustang coming as a GT500 Shelby in 2018, possibly with a 5.2-litre V8. Not sure if it would make to Australia.
