Yeah, I don't know why everything is moving toward that ugly crossover form. They're ugly as sin IMO.

It's the carcinization of automobiles. Tall station wagons are simply the most practical shape for cars to be.

Frankly, the thing that bothers me about the Mustang Mach E isn't the shape, but rather the fact that they desecrated the name of what's supposed to be a low-slung coupe.

The shape bothers me a lot, but this bothers me more. They could have just called it the Bronco. Or the Fairlane.

But if cars are all going to look like that in the future I guess I'm never buying a car again.

It's much more like a mustang than a bronco. Regardless, If Ford wants to call it a mustang, it's a mustang.
