I think you’ve nailed it. Car people also go hard into cameras and other kinds of consumer tech.

Bring back cloth. Regular ol’ cloth. Nice cloth, sure. But cloth! Cloth doesn’t nuke any patch of bare skin that unfortunately grazes it when I open the car in the summer.

It was pretty amazing, but I still couldn’t find a replacement turn signal lens for the driver’s side of my 411. :( The prices were a tad high for a liquidation sale, so while I saw some neat stuff, I left disappointed. I hope someone finds a way to take the old stuff and keep it somewhere and not let it all go in the… Read more

I mean, they can write “banana” on it, too, and it still won’t be a banana. It’s not a Mustang.

Bless you for this. This meme brings me joy.

Nah, not going to get over it. It’s ugly and it has a stupid name. It’s probably mechanically pretty good and sounds like it’d be fun to drive, but so are other EVs that don’t look like a loaded diaper with a couple pony logos pinned on. It’s a functional object, but form and branding all still factor into whether or… Read more

Ha! My mom had a similar reaction to the new Blazer: “That’s not a Blazer.” (We had a K5, though, so she’s a bit more biased on that one.) Definitely shows the confusion factor of naming something a Mustang that clearly isn’t, though. They’ve been refining what a Mustang is in the public consciousness for over half a… Read more

Yeah. :( The Mach-E sounds fun on paper, but good grief, the forced Mustang cues look awful. They didn’t even do THAT well.

Some folks really need to take that company boot out of their mouths before logging on. Companies make garbage decisions, and calling a crossover a Mustang or a Corvette is one of them.

They came up with these names decades ago and firmly entrenched what they meant by years of building ever-faster, ever-more-refined versions of the same car. People have a clear image of what a Mustang and a Corvette is when you say those words. They’re iconic. That’s why people get angry when you try to dilute that… Read more

Whoo, I have thoughts. I even argued this yesterday with a Ford person, and sorry, I will die on this yellow No. 3 hill. The Mach-E ain’t a Mustang, and a “Corvette-inspired” crossover will never be a Corvette.
