will officially on sale in Europe in decades. 

The announcement was relatively simple from Ford of Europe's CEO Stephen Odell: “You only have to look at the incredible response to Mustang when it has appeared this summer at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, in the U.K., and at the Le Mans Classic, in France, to get a sense of the excitement this American icon generates across Europe. The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future."

Ford did not say exactly when the car would go on sale. However, Ford is planning to introduce a new generation Mustang at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. Ford is reportedly going to announce the car for sale nearly immediately instead of teasing it for months like many auto makers would. It seems likely that Ford will get this new generation instead of the current car.
