So... Ford Motor Company, once the pride of American industry and the most respected car brand in the nation (okay...I'm biased; my family are Ford people, it's in my blood...) this company had decided to commit brand suicide by introducing...THIS travesty; the "Mustang Mach E."
The newer Mustang sports car/couples are incredible cars. But This...clunky electric mini-suv crossover thing, is about as useless as a square wheel. Because, we always need more clunky mini-SUV crossver vehicles. Car companies have decided, despite what the public has been saying, that we can never have too many of them.
It isn't just that the vehicle is a bland, soulless electric literal embodiment of the "Gleaming Alloy Air Car." Thats bad enough. But to call this thing a "Mustang?" Just...no. That would be like building a minivan, sticking one of those bland four cylendar engines in it, and calling it a Corvette. Even the much ridiculed Mustang II from the Better Vanished Time of the mid/late 70's- this was basically a re-skinned Ford Pinto- had more soul than this thing does, and certainly more right to call itself a Mustang.
Brand Suicide. That's what happened to Caddillac when the Cimmaron came out, and if that didn't do it, the Escalade pretty much put the bullet into it. Remember the Pontiac Aztek? You notice they aren't making Pontiacs anymore. (At least they had the sense not to brand that eyesore a "Firebird," though. Ford's new "Mustang" is far worse!) Bottom line: Dopey cars kill brands. This car will tank Ford, and the entire economy will feel the ripple effects. And somehow this will all be blamed on Biden, but that's another story.
