no they're not
The 2011 GT is a brilliant car, they dont need to pay anybody. The independant reviews have all been glowing.
Remember they are buying it in the US where the 2011 5.0 GT V8 with lots of options is around $35,000, if you were living there and not importing it, that puts it around £24,000 so the same cost of a hot hatch.
So what will it be, Golf GTI or Ford Mustang GT 5.0 with 400 odd bhp ??? Touch choice at their petrol price. not
