    Let me put it this way, the Mach E is a better looking Mustang than the fox bodies.

    The Mach E looks better than the Tesla Model Y, too. :duel:

    Purely going on looks, it's a hands down win for the Mach E. It simply has a better look. Now, that doesn't mean the Tesla isn't faster/longer range/more aerodynamic or whatever other metric you might use to say it is "better" but it loses in the looks department.

    No.


    any redeeming qualities the Mach E may possess are nullified by the blasphemous use of the Mustang name.

    they should have re-used the Pinto name.

    Mach E has been deducted 10092984038778 points due to the bug splatter on the front taking it away. Your argument is now invalid on all fronts.

    It's no more of a misnomer than Tesla acronyming "S3XY" for theirs.

    While I agree that old names are abused for the sake of engaging the popularity of previous vehicles, that doesn't negate the looks. Prim example, the Dodge Chargers of the last 10 years. Decent looking cars. Absolute travesty to put the Charger nameplate on it.


    Also, the Mach E is a better representation of the Mustang Brand than the stretched-out-tempo-pretending-to-be-a-mustang fox bodies.

    But the Tesla is not hijacking a classic muscle car nameplate

    And the S3XY nomenclature is pure genius

    that took forethought and imagination

    Which FORD clearly does not possess in the lazy naming of an EV. Only to make fools buy it thinking they are part of an ICE legacy

    name it the pinto, then.

    Man, I sure hope you never buy an SR5 Tundra or anything with TRD on it. Abuse of legacy is the name of the game in the auto world.

    only to the extent that it is an EV.

    which is my contention

    I really think they should have just called it the Mach E. It's not as "sacred" as Mustang, and just implies it's quick and electric.

    I'm more bothered that it's a 4 door. EV is quickest off the line. Makes sense to move the sport cars to that platform, in a twisted and sick kind of way.

    You should get a procharged 6spd swapped crown vic for a retirement car. 100% would recommend.

    Now if you ask my oldest daughter....IMG_5364.jpg IMG_5365.jpg IMG_5366.jpg

    She's like "get the newer one."

    Dad "can I use your college fund?"

    Daughter "you know that Blue 2013 Shelby is pretty nice too".

    Yeah, I got that. The one I posted was a mustang and a Tempo. They all look like each other, which is to say they are all ugly.
