 @872ab8e1 I look at this car and try to find some quintessential mustang-ness in its style ... but no, it looks just like all cars look these days. It was more fun when cars were distinctive in shape and design.

 @872ab8e1 Looks cool, but I still think the Polestar 2 Arctic Circle did the rally conversion thing better.

 @872ab8e1 Ford really just killed off literally every car except the Mustang, then made the Mustang into a compact SUV.

C'mon now.

 @872ab8e1 some moron with a PhD went through a lot of effort to sound smart while calling me dumb on here over electric cars.  Said they were a giant scam and would never take off, and here come the major automakers with more sales every year.

One of us is being dumb, 100%, and I'm like 95% sure it isn't me for a change.
