I mean Ford is getting away selling a reskinned Escape as a Bronco so there's something to be said about the name they pick for a car in terms of will it help sell it.

I own a '67 Mustang, and I've owned 4 New Edges, I like the cars, I could still give a gently caress less about the "Mustang brand"bird with big dick posted:The Mach looks pretty good and the regular version isn’t really any more embarrassing than any of the other bottom tier turds they’ve called Mustangs they just shouldn’t have made the GT. Your stories about the weird wet fart acceleration limiting kept me from buying a GT at the absolute upper edge of my price range, then Ford axed the heated seat option and I gave up on the Mach completely and got the Bolt instead, the Bolt is a fantastic car for half the money, but it's not exactly a fun driving experience. I'm sure Ford cares a lot about my opinion with a 6 month waiting list to buy the drat things still.

I was thinking about buying a Ford Edge but there was I wait so I just bought a Chevy Spark... The Mach-E and the Bolt are not even remotely in the same market besides they have four wheels and batteries, much less the Mach-E GT.

If they wanted guaranteed success with the Mach-E they should've revived the Edsel brand.

Ford doesn't wanna make sedans anymore. It's a shame, I've bought two Fusions (one hybrid) over the years, and they've been the best cars I've ever owned. Aside from an oil gasket issue on the non-hybrid at 140k miles, neither of them have ever needed any repairs* beyond normal maintenance. If there were a reasonably-priced Fusion EV - preferably not using the latest/last design revamp, because it's fugly - it would probably be on the shortlist for my next car. I test-drove a Mach-E last year, and aside from it being a crossover/SUV, there were a lot of little things that made me think "nope, this isn't for me", especially after test-driving an EV6 the previous week. * not counting the "your airbag may randomly become a shotgun" recalls WhiteHowler fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Feb 5, 2023 |

The moment Ford comes out with the Explorer EV I am selling the Mach-E. Most of the cars I’ve driven were Explorers so I have a fondness for those shitboxes.

I wanted a fun car, Ford hosed me, so I got a boring car. It's not exactly an option rich market for EVs, especially if you need one soonish.

Still waiting for an allocation on my custom Bolt EUV order, but the dealership called me this morning saying a buyer had backed out on another EUV. Different trim level and boring-rear end gray, so I passed. It might be a sign that with the car market potentially taking a downward turn, EVs may get easier to find/buy soon.
