The newer mustangs are not muscle cars. They are suvs pretending to be muscle cars

All the bulk of an SUV without the ease of getting in and out.

Mustang just got a dad body

I have no idea why they called this entirely different car a mustang.

[-] TryingToEscapeTarkov@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Because nostalgia sells cars to boomers.

Sure, but the mach e had a 0 to 60 time that matches the mustang GT so comparing this relevant stat, it might as well be. Plus, they need even more power because it's so heavy

And the Ford Focus RS had a 0-60 about the same as a Mustang, but I didn't hear anyone wanting to pretend it was a muscle car or should be called a "Mustang 4-tech"....

What's your point? The focus RS isn't electric sooooo it's not a part of this conversation about ford EVs and their design woes lmao

I was being sarcastic towards Ford whoring out the Mustang name on an SUV with apologists claiming that the performance made it a Mustang. Electric or not probably doesn't even matter.

Sorry if I was too subtle.
