The V8 is still proving popular, too. Commenting on the news, Ford sales analyst Erich Merkle said: “while much of the growth in Mustang demand in the United States has come from coastal markets – especially Southern California – and millennials opting for the 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, buyers in other countries prefer the V8.”

This doesn’t come as a surprise, as in the UK thus far, the eight-banger has accounted for the most sales. “That unmistakable V8 warble is a hot commodity outside the US,” he added, while thinking “Murica!” Probably.

This just means that there are going to be more people that won’t be able to handle the car and crash. Not hating on the car, there are just a lot of incapable drivers or there.
