Anything particularly wrong with the Mach-E?

[–] schwim@piefed.zip 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Likely not, I've seen it's a popular model to hate on though, most likely due to using the Mustang badging.

Yeah 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.

I 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.

The whole 3rd (1980-1993) and especially the 4th (1994-2004) gen Mustangs were pretty mediocre looking.

You'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.

Totally agree. And all those execs should have fired. And possibly publicly humiliated.
