The Mustang nameplate was always going to have greater desirability by consumers with over a 50-year heritage compared to a locally produced FPV with only 12 years of production.

Mustang's biggest achievement for Ford in Australia has been its ability to draw people into Ford showrooms that may have never considered buying a Ford before. Even people that are in no way a car enthusiast know what a Mustang is and that has helped raise Fords profile in the eyes of the average consumer.
