  1. It's a good looking grill and front end. Much better than the current I'm a mini 18 wheeler look. The interior looks busy because it has about 10 different colors and surface textures going on. It really has very little continuity. Kind of like 10 different designers each did a section but never talked to one another.
  2. The power grid infrastructure is not that healthy right now. Take note that in the summer when heat waves hit brown outs are common. A couple million electric cars would push the the grid beyond its current capacity. If just 1/4 of new cars are electric you can count on electric rates going way up because of demand. It cost money to make electricity.
  3. Mustang suv I would suggest changing the name to Mustang Clydesdale edition.
  4. But look at all the great crossovers, trucks and SUVs you can choose from and they all really inspire fun driving.
  5. The Bronco was a tough truck not a lot of frills and came in at a price within $100 of the Pinto and Maverick. What a deal. I love the concept Bronco but I fear what Ford might come up with. I could easily see it become crossoverized (the marketplace does not have enough of those yet) I could see it become bloated to a four door and priced just a little under a Raptor. If they decide to produce a tough nimble Bronco like the concept looks to be and keep the price well under $30,000 they would sell a ton of them.
  6. You are exactly correct my ideas are outdated I'm over 60 which means I lived through the muscle car wars. It is true those cars can't compete with todays new muscle cars but it was a great age to live through with 25 cent a gallon gas and few regulations. It is sad that very few of todays affordable cars will be collectible or see increased value like the Boss 302, 429, or Boss 351 that I owned unfortunately it rusted away in Michigan and I sold it before the value shot up. ​ ​I am however eager and waiting for the new GT 500.
  7. It is with sorrow that I had to once again concede to the fact ford only offers one choice in a two door. In 2016 I looked all spring and summer for a new coupe and test drove about eight different makes. It was almost impossible to find a 2016 Mustang Turbo to drive in the Kalamazoo area. When I asked why all they had was convertibles and GT’s on the lots they said they don’t sell well. However they said the GT will drive exactly the same and if I liked it I could order a coupe. Right !?! Well I found one in Battle Creek to test drive it was very nice and drove great and almost was as fast as my 69. However, in Michigan rear wheel drive normally is not so nice November through February. (Except this year) I have never owned a four door and won’t in the future. My wife buys the Mommy cars. Sorry to say as a lifelong ford fan I bought a Honda Coupe Touring. My last Honda coupe gave zero problems and resold at a great price. I will just have to reminisce as I drive my Candy apple red 1969 Fairlane fastback around and remember when Ford made beautiful two door cars. If a Fusion coupe is out of the Question it would cost Ford very little just give us the two door hatchback like the Focus or Fiesta which is in Europe That would do nicely thanks. Maybe someday America will lose its love affair with boring people haulers. ​
