| Maxine wrote I see a debate is going on here, Tho nobody has added to it this year, So I shall throw something else on it and say 'Dodge Charger' You know something has allways buged me about the uranus, and thats the whole front wheel drive thing, and the sound.. I know the sounds dident match to the cars too well in this game but It did sound a lot like a 4 cylinder.. making it feel like the front wheel drive charger, with its 2.2 turbo.. But, with a mustang shaped rear, and some more flaired arches thrown on, or possibly the merkur too who knows. But all Im saying is the way it drives and looks it reminds me a lot of an L body Charger If you judging it by the sound, then it's irrelevant due to one engine sound can be used in several cars in-game. Uranus share the same engine sound with Esperanto, Manana, and Premiere. About the FF layout, it is a bit bugging me since both Mustang and Merkur uses FR layout, but it's just an in-game generic vehicle so doesn't need to be bother with. After I looked at the Charger, the only things that similar is the headlight and rearlight  | |
| Indeed, it does have some L-Body Charger in it. | |

Definitely agree about it being an 83 stang...Only problem, the Uranus is unavailable in red.  | |
| Definitely stock car is a Mustang. Early 80's model. | |
1983 Ford Mustang... Grill and sides a perfect match Apologies but I love that Gif. -- Last edit: 2011-06-29 14:55:06 | |
| And it should stop now...there´s no need for it. Since it´s a game car, it don´t need to be accurate, talking about the Lozspeed version. If they wanted to stick on it a Cosworth spoiler, it´s fine. But the stock car is a Mustang, no doubt about it, at all. | |
| It seems that there is a debate for this car and it has already started. | |
| First you show pics of 87 Mustang GT but Uranus is based on pre 86 versions like this one: i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg184/Hot_Rod_Kitten/1985mustang.jpg And Merkur has nothing to do with Sierra Cosworth, its just identic to Sierra XR4Ti | |
| TakuFD3S wrote The lozspeed version is different with normal uranus. The lozspeed version of uranus is still a ford mustang but it sports merkur xr4ti bodykit I think. Are you 12? Why would they stick a Merkur XR4Ti bodykit on a Ford Mustang? There is no such thing as a Merkur XR4Ti bodykit anyways...you're jumping on the bandwagon like everyone. Where is your proof? We don't judge cars based on the sides of a car, the front is and back is what matters the most. o_O | |

| The proof is in the LOZSPEED version of this car. The parts featured on LOZSPEED are everything from the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth, the European relative to the Merkur XR4Ti. How does a Mustang have those bits and pieces? They don't. The front AND back resemble a Merkur XR4Ti, not a Mustang. If I have to, I'll make comparison pics to prove you wrong. I found only 5 references to a Mustang, ALL of them being the side of the car (except MAYBE the hood). Does the side of a car really tell a story? No. You look at either the front or back of a car and say "Oh yeah, that's a ____!" However, I found 7 (there could be more!) references to the XR4Ti and it's European counterpart, the Sierra XR4i. Here are some reference pics (the OpenIV model viewer puts all pieces of the car on, sorry).     I still stand that this car is a Merkur XR4Ti. -- Last edit: 2011-06-29 01:41:11 | |
| The Merkur has completely different roof and bumpers, the roof on this one is directly copied from Mustang 3, most parts on this car are based on Mustang. | |
| It's clearly a mustang 3rd gen. But the grille resemble merkur xr4ti or sierra | |
| I see it as very debatable and don't really see why you are being so aggressive and condescending about it. My opinion is [Mercury] Capri or Ford Mustang. | |
| Guys, this is not a 3rd generation Ford Mustang. There are little to no resemblances to a Ford Mustang. If anything, it has some design features to the 1st generation Ford Escort...how do I know? I OWN ONE! But this car isn't either of the cars listed...it's a really the 1985 - 1989 Merkur XR4Ti. Except this one is boxier...whoever calls this a Ford Mustang needs to further educate themselves on these kind of cars. Everyone is jumping the bandwagon here which isn't cool. Please, do us all a favor and look up a Merkur XR4Ti and come back to me and tell me it isn't one of those. Again, THIS ISN'T A FORD MUSTANG. The funny thing about this is you guys are calling it a Ford Mustang with the features of a Ford Sierra Cosworth...but that's wrong too! Guess what - the Merkur XR4Ti is DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE EUROPEAN FORD SIERRA! The Merkur XR4Ti was sold in the United States and Canada, but it was a failed attempt at marketing a European based automobile. Look on Wikipedia for god sakes! -- Last edit: 2011-06-28 07:29:37 | |
| Mercury is Ford, he is the same base Mustang is a capri for Mercury | |
| 81' Capri with a slight twist to the headlights. The reason being is the horizontal muti-slat grill which the Mustang doesn't have. -- Last edit: 2009-08-06 20:29:53 | |
| No, it's a 1987 Ford Mustang LX. -- Last edit: 2009-08-06 19:46:39 | |
| 1987 Ford Mustang LX MkIII (without the spoiler) | |
| It is a Mustang | |
| Mustang | |
| I think it's a Mustang. | |
| Star Wars Fanatic wrote Also, the Sierra was sold in America as the Merkur XR4ti: www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=10558 Yes, but is very very very rare, and not sold in all the USA | |
| Could be, but i still think it´s a Foxy Body Mustang with Ford Sierra frontend. -- Last edit: 2008-08-27 20:28:11 | |
| That's a Mercury Capri | |
