Because Texas is the size of Germany. The US has so much more land mass and so much more sprawl that driving is a necessity here. Many larger cities in the US don't even have public transportation that the average European would say is adequate.I truly believe we would be better off if many people got self driving cars because they can't drive worth a shit. Or maybe you have to do more than pass an easy test and have a pulse to get a driver's license in the US. In Germany you have to pass requirements such as:
- a mandatory eight-hour first aid course
- a minimum of 37 hours of instruction
- passing two exams (theoretical and practical) (Harder than the tests in the US)
- a cost of over $2,000
Why can't the US implement something like this... A drivers license in the US feels more like a right than a privilege. In my eyes driving is a privilege.
I dig that and could see future me driving it.If we have a Mustang SUV why not a Lincoln sports car.
If Lincoln would have mad that in hatchback....If we have a Mustang SUV why not a Lincoln sports car.
Wow, that nose looks so much better than the 2018+ Mustang.If we have a Mustang SUV why not a Lincoln sports car.
Just so you realize my 2016 GT gets worse gas (17-18mpg average) mileage then my 2018 F-150 SuperCrew 5.0L (20-22mpg average). Just saying...SUV's and trucks pollute our roads like water in gasoline, can't stand a single one of them.TC
Bro the second they made the gt350 I knew it was the beginning of the end. Its a Damn shame. The problem though is car guys just don't have the raw numbers on their side to compete with the sockermom crowd. And ford at the end of the day is in it to sell cars.Here's another story on the Mach-E, with an interesting and scary take:

I hope this isnāt the Ford Probe 1980's all over again, with the āMach-Eā being another foolish idea from Jim Hackett to slowly replace the Mustang with yet another SUV-abomination, this one combined with his āelectricā vision of the future.
Hackett has already gutted Ford by eliminating passenger cars from the US market. Leave the Mustang alone for what it is - an iconic American pony car.
I agree but Fords past is full of examples of taking a name plate and deluding it in the name of sales. Four door Thunderbird, station wagon Cougar to name a couple so a four door Mustang could be a real possibility No I do not want to see a 4 door or suv Mustang.Just so you realize my 2016 GT gets worse gas (17-18mpg average) mileage then my 2018 F-150 SuperCrew 5.0L (20-22mpg average). Just saying...
Back to the post topic..
I think Ford is in danger of diluting the Mustang image. I think making a Mustang themed CUV isnt necessary. There is a huge possible downside to the Mustang badge/image if employed on a CUV. Please respect the 55 year heritage Ford!
The mach e is targeted at Millennials who are Climate Huggers but want a suv but don't want to feel guilty buying a ICE powered suv. As long as Ford doesn't F up the launch and the Mach e has good quality I think it could be very successful and start to erode Tesla sales. I would predict that if this launch is screwed up Hackett will be gone.i think the mach-e is likely to be a marketting failure like the Harley davidson live-wire... I think Ford's misunderstanding the market and its gonna bite them.
The fuel drinking, clutch burning muscle car head is Who buys a mustang these guys aren't going to buy a mach-e...
Electric cars are for nerdy techy vanilla chai latte, kinda sorta car guy types... These people are gonna buy teslas...they made this car a SUV but are trying to market it as a "performance" vehicle... i don't understand who exactly they're targeting.
The air is getting dirtier, the planet warmer as the human population approaches 8 billion. EV's will be common place in ten years on the roads, its a change us Mustang owners are having a hard time coming to grips with. But it is inevitable. Enjoy it while we can folks..Electric cars are for nerdy techy vanilla chai latte, kinda sorta car guy types...

The problem isn't with EVs becoming commonplace. It's concern for the further downstream possibility where there might not be any alternative. Where you'd be stuck driving what other people want you to be driving, and paying for the "privilege".The air is getting dirtier, the planet warmer as the human population approaches 8 billion.
