Love the idea of this car, but with the same engine as the base mustang (which comes in at $24k), it seems a bit much at $40k, even for awd. They definitely need to price it under the Golf R.

AWD w/ Torque Vectoring! Oh. Dang.

Seriously, how do you pre order this car ? Never done this before, just drop by any dealership and drop some deposit ? In the market for a new car next year.

Contact your local Ford dealer, they will be more than willing to take your money.

Will try, only if they can actually get one. How's the clucth on your ST ? heavy as the 92x or lighter.

A little lighter, a little more "numb" feeling. No idea what the RS will be like though, wouldn't compare the ST to it for drive train reasons.

The clutch in this car is light and forgiving.

Like Volkswagen or Mazda light? I tend to prefer heavy and deliberate.

It's a pain after a while in stop and go traffic everyday.

Wow - that's pretty sexy!
Also ... is Speed808 a legit user or is he just a computer system designed to scrub recent news for youtube videos and pictures related to certain threads and post them?

I don't have experience in either. What manual isn't a pain in the ass after a while in traffic?

My gti's stock clutch was so light and easy to modulate that I could sit in stop n go traffic for hours no sweat. It became a bit more challenging once I got a grabbier aftermarket clutch insert paired with the laggier K04 upgrade but it was still a lot less taxing than driving the Aero in traffic.

Vee-dub clutches do make it nice. The saab and my M3 both suck.

I hate light clutches it gives you less feel.

I'm torn, the clutch in my GF's Mazda2 is light as anything, but it is just so easy to drive. I liked the lighter clutch in my linear over the WRXs I've driven, but after owning more than a dozen manuals (to include a WRX and an M3) I've never been bothered by any of them in traffic unless my hip or knee was acting up.

Don't confuse work with feel. The factory mkv GTI clutch had decent feel, but more importantly, it had a consistent engagement point combined with a quick spoiling turbo and precise e-throttle tuning that made it extremely easy to drive smoothly right off idle and at low rpm. Also had very little drivetrain lash. Every aspect of the drivetrain including ECU tuning was so well integrated that it was a breeze to drive in traffic.

Rumor has it some have made it across the pond

I test drove a 1.0 liter Ecoboost Focus yesterday (having owned performance cars my whole life, it, like the '14 JSW I test drove earlier, was a nice appliance) and its clutch was light with some feel. When I got back into my Aero, it felt like something was broken or stuck under the clutch pedal 
. All of this time I thought you guys were being babies whining about the Aero clutch effort (my //S6 pedal is about twice as stiff, but it's also worn past the mechanical advantage point) but now I guess I know better.

Looks great in white

I agree, that looks much less douchey than the press photos I've seen. I like.
