From what I can see thus far it does absolutely nothing for me.  I would have thought a Ford machine must be white and blue irrespective of model.  The pics thus far look like a fairly major step backwards as far as artwork goes.

How can they get some machines so right and others so horribly wrong.

My guess is that every now and again they make a machine out of all the bits they've got left over... there is no colour scheme on the PF, its a mish mash of all colours in lurid tones. Yellow inserts, red throughout.. yellow car.
There isn't anything FORD about it, there isn't anything MUSTANG about it.. it could be any machine really.
Its a bits and bobs machine.. a bitser with a licence slapped on the top. Unfortunately, the licence doesn't do anything to tie it all together, in fact it does quite the opposite.

Early days IMO.

Have to see the various models in person and the finished final products face to face, then play them/it if u aren't sold yet.
Some will buy without seeing/playing just because its Ford.
You just cant tell properly by looking at the pictures. Really need to see it in person, which will not be hard because AMD in Sydney always do new pinball title release parties.
I still like it because I am a FORD fan thru n thru. For every Holden fan there is a Ford fan so that will cancel it out n still some great sales to be had, espescially in USA and Europe.

I have been told std Pro pricing (less than 7K) for Australia.

I bet AMD in Sydneys prices thru Bruce will be better than those prices.

I also thought it was against the rules for any Stern Agent (in this case cashbox are only a AMD agent) to advertise pricing of any model that hasnt been released to the public and released by AMD at a release party. I just think its not wise to jump the gun and advertise a product n price for a model that hasn't even hit Australian shores as yet until AMD has set its prices and released those first, as they are the Australian imprter-AMD..

I know Gary Stern forbode such activities from any dealer doing this worldwide......

What do other people think ?

not even listed on AMD - Sterns official Australian Importer and cashbox have jumped the gun................

Numbers are too big - it will never work. You have to remember that QLDers cant cope with addition and subtraction of 1 which is why they don't understand daylight saving.

The designers favorite part of the game is the "artwork"  *!@  !@#  @@^

Gomez must love photoshop, because the playfield is a huge step back. The ONLY thing going for this game is the fact that Ford dealers will be buying the game, so there's huge sales potential (to Ford reps - not pinball people).

This title falls into the Rolling Stones / Big Buck Hunter range. Shame as momentum was building with AC/DC  /  Metallica.

+ 1 - Obviously a Mustang fan seeing the artwork through rose coloured (or Mustang Red coloured??) glasses.
