Definitely for collectors
Ford Philippines last week unveiled two of its most iconic brands for car enthusiasts at the grand ballroom of Okada Manila – the all-new Ford Mustang and the off-road sports utility vehicle Ford Bronco.
The two vehicles, mind you, are not really for ordinary car owners, but for those who have a passion for iconic models and who can afford to collect them.
With a price tag of almost P4 million for the seventh generation sports coupe, the latest Mustang model promises to give customers a different level of pony power.

A new magnesium-framed 13-inch colored center display offers seamless connectivity with the vehicle, with Sync 4 and enhanced voice recognition, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto compatibility, and wireless mobile charging.
The current Mustang model also comes with Ford Co-Pilot360 technology that actively assists drivers while enhancing the overall road experience. It has a blind spot information system (BLIS) with cross-traffic alert and braking, auto
