minus-squaretidderuuf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down3·14 days ago my Ford Mustang Mach-E I’m gonna stop reading right there.
minus-squareBlaster M@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·14 days agoAnything particularly wrong with the Mach-E?
minus-squareSchwim Dandy@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·14 days agoLikely not, I’ve seen it’s a popular model to hate on though, most likely due to using the Mustang badging.
minus-squarebillwashere@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·14 days agoYeah the vehicle is great. Lots of room, good acceleration… But Mustang? Come on it’s a fucking crossover. To put that and this beast… in the same category is a freaking sacrilege.
minus-squareSchwim Dandy@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 days agoI see this comparison a lot and wonder why they feel that the E is the terrible departure from the muscle-bound model when this existed decades prior.
minus-squareexcursion22@piefed.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 days agoThe whole 3rd (1980-1993) and especially the 4th (1994-2004) gen Mustangs were pretty mediocre looking.
minus-squareSchwim Dandy@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 days agoYou’re absolutely right. Just like every other model out there, this one has had some egregious missteps in design over the decades. The e is hardly the first time that the badge was used on a vehicle that didn’t sit well with the fans.
minus-squarebillwashere@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 days agoTotally agree. And all those execs should have fired. And possibly publicly humiliated.
