Starting to think Mustang and some hotter performance versions plus some hot Focus and Fiseta models and maybe a HiPo Mondeo could do more for turning around Ford Aust's image then a $200mill advertising campaign.

ah

I priced up the megane rs265 and that was $180 for two days. Not including any extras.

Don't see why the mustang should be nearly double that.

Oh and hertz, I love the Toyota 86, but auto? Really?

$190 a day inc the extra stuff they lump on, compares well to the $240 for Megane

Oops 'your company says no and you have to remove your code' or something to that effect...here somes another fridge next week.

"WANT to jump the 18-month queue to drive a new Ford Mustang?

You can rent one thanks to a landmark deal between Ford Australia and Hertz.

Before you get too excited, though, you may need to hold your horses.

Even if you’re prepared to stump up about $150 per day — or $54,750 to rent one for an entire year — finding a brand new Mustang available in a capital city near you could prove difficult.

When News Corp Australia went online we could find the Mustang listed among four “Adrenaline Collection” cars that included a Nissan Pulsar, a Toyota coupe and a Renault hatchback.

But when we tried to book any of the four “adrenaline-packed” cars — using popular capital cities and airports as a pick-up address — we were offered only a Renault or a Toyota.

The Hertz website then tried to steer us towards other luxury models — but no Mustang, even though the website invites customers to “reserve this exact model”.

What $200 mil advertising campaign? The uninspiring 'go further' ads really cost $200 mil to make? Is the lady in blue really that expensive to hire?

Xr6 replacement??

I've seen the yellow one getting around.
Wonder if the measure they tread depth ?

Hmm. Does Mustang run the same rim offset as Falcon? Bolt some FG wheels on, do some dirty deeds, then install the original mustang rims with good tyres before returning .

So do these Hertz mustangs have any special badging or features?
Or are they a standard GT mustang?

Nothing special besides Hertz plates. HTZ-XXX etc.

In the states they've got the GT-H (GT-Hertz).

It's not bait and switch.

They would have only a limited number of vehicles in this category and would be stopping reservations to avoid double bookings. You can not reserve what they do not have/cannot supply for the dates you have selected.

It's unlimited km's. There are no mileage restrictions for a booking I made last week. Unfortunately I had to cancel this booking as I'm under 25.

You think the Mustang's boot is bad? You should try the current Camaro! It's boot opening is like a letter-slot in comparison, you literally have to force a small suitcase through the opening just to get it into the boot in the first place.
