I test drove a Mach-E (electric Mustang) in 2022. For a car named "Mustang" it looked horrible: like a soccer mom mobile. But the acceleration and low center of gravity curve handling was very impressive.

IMHO, Ford shouldn't have marketed it with the crossover shape. Nor should they have presented it like it saves mother 'erf from our carbon sins or whatever. They should have presented it like a second option of a Mustang sports car if you want the zippy acceleration of an EV (zippier than the gas version).

Last I heard there was about an 18 month supply in dealers floorplans.

“ IMHO, Ford shouldn’t have marketed it with the crossover shape”

Families cannot afford an extra two door car for dad anymore, so they weren’t selling.

White collar people with disposable income buy Porsches or the equivalent.

Single men buy a pickups or skip the mustang stage and get the corvette.

I agree it’s a travesty, but the economy has crushed the former buyers of mustangs.
