“ 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.
A lot of Mustangs were sold to women over the years. Many women have decided they prefer an SUV or a "crossover" which is what this version of the Mustang looks like.
