Limited edition Mustangs were all-too-common with the last generation pony car, and Ford has teamed up with DUB magazine and Roush Industries to get the party restarted with the 2011 model.

 

Based exclusively on the 305-hp V6 'Stang, the DUB Edition is available in coupe, convertible or glass-roof variants, and comes equipped with a Roush front fascia and splitter, quarter window covers, windshield banner, stripe package and a black interior with the DUB logo embroidered into the headrests.

 

Fittingly for a Mustang fettled by the lifestyle pub, the DUB edition rolls on 20-inch TIS wheels wrapped in Pirelli rubber, with Roush lowering springs dropping the Mustang for a more aggressive stance. Although the engine remains stock, a 3.31 rear axle is fitted out back to provide, in Ford's words, more "spirited acceleration."

 

Sales of the DUB Edition will begin this fall, with either an automatic or six-speed manual gearbox, and a choice of four exterior colors: Black, Grabber Blue, Ingot Silver or Race Red. Make the jump for all the details. Show full PR text."

from this view, looks like they borrowed the KR hood stripes...

What a joke!

 

Repeat after me... Thou shall not PIMP thy Mustang!

I actually like the styling on this car, not sure about the name DUB. Surprized Shelby didn't jump in with a production package similar to this instead of Ford using Roush.

 

I think the car was well executed, didn't care for the wheel selection, but special edition Mustangs are always going to be an option.

I can only say that this is the best looking DUB car I've seen.

I found two interesting points in this article after April Mustang sales were down but overall car sales were up. First, Ford seems to be moving towards styling and fuel efficient over horsepower, which is what many Team Shelby members have pointed out that Shelby should do to stay afloat. Second, an affordable Shelby could help keep things going a little longer at SA, So why did Ford team up with Roush and not Shelby? Could this type of behavior have something to do with the departure of Amy and Bud? I'm starting to have doubts about the muscle car's future beyond 2011.

Auto news came out with article this morning.

 

"The Dearborn automaker decided to provide more product training than usual because it is targeting young, social-media savvy buyers such as so-called millennials, sometimes defined as those born between 1980 and 1995.

 

"The biggest thing is understanding that the target buyer for this car is going to be younger than the average buyer has been for Ford," said Brian Godfrey, general manager at Pat Milliken Ford in Redford Township.

 

Paul Anderson, Ford's small-car marketing manager, said Ford rarely starts dealer training so early.

 

The special training includes teaching dealership employees how to effectively reach young buyers through social-media sites such as Facebook and YouTube, as well as new marketing efforts. They are also learning about the car's unique options such as hip, colorful body panel graphics, which start at $150.

 

"For the young buyer, the car is something very personal," Anderson said. "It is something that is very much a part of who they are and an extension of themselves."

 

The training also includes a series of 16 special videos that explain how to compare the Fiesta to its main competitors -- the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit and Nissan Versa.

 

While Ford is providing the videos and other Web-based training to all dealerships, it has selected a group of 573 dealers in large metropolitan areas for an on-site training program.

 

While Ford expects more than half of Fiesta sales to come from large metro areas, Ford expects 25% of all Fiesta sales to come from just five major metro areas: Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C."

I had the chance to drive a couple of European Fiestas, one with the 1.6 gasoline and one with the TD engine. Those cars are fun! As long as they keep the Euro-tune on the suspension they should be up their with the MINI on the fun factor scale.
