Mercuries were such awful cars though.

You must have missed the previous 60 years of Mustang history. This was only the second Mustang to get its own platform, not even the first to be marketed primarily to women, the fastest from 0-60 when it debuted, and arguably the closest to the original, tech forward, mid engined, 4 cup Mustang concept from 1963. But I get it: vroom vroom noise makes lots of dudes feel like “real men” or whatever 😅

I don’t understand? A mustang was a sports coupe, no? Other than the lack of a roaring V8, I can’t imagine anything more exciting than a souped up EV. My plain old Tesla 3 feels like a jet when accelerating onto the freeway. So GD fast I get butterflies!
