I know you are being an ass. If you are at all being serious about your “hate-on” for the car then you are NO true car lover nor a proper enthusiast. A true car lover accepts others will love what you do not and a Proper enthusiast knows better than to dis a near perennial fan favorite.

But Track times and appealing to the largest number or prospect buyers is KEY... especially in a time when selling cars at all is increasingly difficult and the car has to sell enough, so the monetary loses of having manuals in stock is just unacceptable.

I prefer an unmolested, or tactfully touched up, Mk4 thank you.

Two guys walk into a bar. One is a Mustang and the other a Supra...

It looks kinda stubby and “clumsy”(?). The Mk5 certainly does not look as good in pictures as the Mk4 does. For a car everyone wanted to come back (or so it seemed), this feels so much like Toyota design just phoned it in.

Someone make a BEV truck like this...

It would be easier, but I doubt it would be cost effect if you are honestly aiming for a start price UNDER $19,000 and topping out UNDER $30K.

Yeah, well make some performance CARS, besides the Mustang. and if you are going to keep escalating the price, make a car slotted under the Mustang... Call it the Maverick.

And that does nothing to add or detract from my first statement that EV buyers want Teslas, not EVs. Otherwise, cars like the BOLT, and LEAF among others would be flying off lots.

Can not unsee...

I’ll accept Milenna. Although the MKX version allows for her actually being able to talk, it looks far less “Awkward boner” than her full “shark face”.

If the law says being ICE’d out is against the law, don’t call it that just tell the cops these trucks are parked in spaces reserved for EVs to recharge and you need a recharge, You leave it up to teh Police.

Good luck, FF.

In “:some key markets”. Let me guess the UK and some corners of the EU maybe.

Try the epitome that BEVs are still boring but Teslas are not. People do not want BEVs but those that do want a Tesla.

Just go back to “Mission E” and everyone will be happy.

The High country variant looks more like what I think Chevy was going for. Retro-future without so much of the retro, thinking of 1940s-50s Chevy trucks.

Mine was a two tone dark red and silver. Not kidding.

I’m not sure you were talking to me, but you posted your response to mine. This unless you think any discussion that includes the Mustang Camaro and Challenger as “I only care about straight line performance” which you should know these cars are more than competitive and capable road course performance vehicles, that…
