Don't worry. The trickle down stuff will hit any time now, and lift you right into the new Ford of your choice.

A huge disappointment to me. They had a great new car design in the Evos. But they went pseudo retro again. Just shows a lack of styling inspiration on their part.

Or maybe a response to pressure from the market that doesn't want electric toy cars?

It ain't about trickle down, its about need. Sadly, you can't fit all the kids in the Mustang to take them to basketball practice.

I had one of those 2.3 Liter underpowerd Mustangs...a 1989 Model. Whell is right those cars have no space for anything..the trunks are real small.
Actually Whell my dad worked for Ford for 42 years and he was at the plant that made Econoline Vans...you just moved up a notch on my cool meter....to .05 lol

Try an Impala and the trunk is huge, belts for three in the rear seat.

True, the Evos has wicked styling. Ford has a huge base of customers around the world loyal to traditional Mustang styling they didn't want to alienate. It's an emotional tie and a strong one. They had to pay attention to that base and the Mustangs styling history and take care not to alienate that base. So there are cues from several model years incorporated into the new design. At the same time they wanted to take the car international in appeal.
I think they made an OK compromise, although I wish they'd made the front more unique. I don't agree with incorporating their new trademark grill, after all it's about the same as the Taurus and Fusion. Mustang styling has always been a set aside from the rest of the Ford line up. Now it blends in too much.
I have seen this model in blue with racing stripes and ground effects and it looks pretty hot. I wish they'd put the in-grill driving lights on it.

OMG, is that yours?
I had one of those once. HVAC was a bad joke, if you tried to pull anything with it, it would puke out all of the transmission fluid.
The best thing about it was whenever the solenoid locked up and the motor was trying to tear out both the starter and the flywheel, it was easy to access when I cut the battery cable in half with a set of side cutters. Time was of an essence, and I could get to the side cutters quickly.
After I did that I got way back, because the battery was making some strange boiling noises, and I've had one of them explode before. Pretty damned exciting when that happens.
