You’ll get over it and in a few years it will look dated.  |

It looks like they merged a Tesla and the "lumpiness" of a lot of other recent cars
It says the Mach-E is electric in a Google search but maybe a different model will be gas?
There are definitely gas 2021 Ford Mustangs but the look is different and it has the typical radiator intake grille

| Styling and autos having distinction pretty much started to blur in the mid 1980s when it was viewed through the lens of fuel use. To achieve low drag coefficients everything begins to look the same coming out of the wind tunnel. Ford was an early player with the aero coupe. Bill Elliot used the wind tunnel down in Georgia at Lockheed and he had the edge for awhile. |

| Without the insignia, I'd have no idea it was a Mustang... or even a Ford. |

Long as gas stays cheap I’ll keep driving the old Prius, it’s paid for and it’s almost as stylish😀 |

Imagine telling people you bought a new Mustang and then the look of disappointment when you show up in that.
I have no problem with electric cars but calling that a Mustang is misleading. |
I had the same thing happen when a friend of mine showed up with her new orange mustang 2 with a 4 banger in 1978.... I said sorry that's not a Mustang

Weld up your cat converter, they are being stolen like nobody's business, and cost about $2K to replace in most states. |

Crack heads and thieves likely to be shot where I live. Open carry and as I’ve said before we are semi rural can shoot out my back door. I was warned last week by an independent Lexus/Toyota mechanic about the thefts. I was aware of trucks,SUVs etc. but you’d have to Jack up a Prius to get converter, it sits very low. I recently threw a magnaflow in the trash after removing from a V6. Nothing sounds worse than a V6 with loud exhaust. V8 I like flat 6 OK but the others especially Honda Toyota sound like hammered shit. |

You'd think so, but the #1 stolen cat in California is on the Prius. My brother's was stolen in daylight two months and the dealer still doesn't have the part. My niece's was stolen last weekend. They practice like a NASCAR pit crew and can get it out in about two minutes. |

Apparently, the stylists got inspiration from the pharmaceutical industry because it looks like a suppository.

We looked hard at the Mach E but wife decided on the Tesla Model Y
Testa's technology head start is just too hard to pass up. Plus the wait time is only 5 weeks.

I’d roll it used at about $5000 or any electric car

This new Mustang Mach-E is hideous. Only a Maverick would ride that Pinto
Maybe they could name it the Ford “Kiger-E”

Apparently the new batch of designers at Ford were upset that the Aztec bumped the Edsel as the ugliest car.
