The Stupidest Car in the World

The Ford Mustang E..eeuuch!

When it comes to cars, American manufacturers 

have a notorious reputation for being a bit terrible, 

failing to evolve from the days of the horse and cart.

However, amidst the sea of mediocrity, one American 

car stands out as an exception—the legendary 1968 

Ford Mustang Bullitt GT driven by Steve McQueen in the movie of the same name. Sadly, the same cannot 

be said for its modern counterpart—the Ford Mustang E, which I recently had the misfortune of encountering.

Let me clarify that I am not opposed to the concept of electric cars. In fact, I embrace the idea and currently own an e-bike and an e-scooter. Electric vehicles represent a significant step towards a sustainable future. However, if you're already inclined to buy an American car, known for their shockingly engineered flaws, choosing a Ford Mustang E would be nothing short of madness.

The Ford Mustang E attempts to combine the allure of the Mustang brand with the promise of electric power. But in doing so, it loses the very essence that made the Mustang an icon—the throaty roar of a V8 engine. The sound, the rumble, the sheer excitement of the Mustang's powerful performance has always been a key part of its appeal. Stripping away this core characteristic and replacing it with a silent electric motor seems sacrilegious.

Moreover, the Ford Mustang E suffers from the same engineering issues that plague many American cars. Questionable build quality, lackluster handling, and uninspiring design choices undermine any potential advantage it might have gained from being electric. It feels like a hasty attempt to jump on the electric bandwagon without properly considering the unique identity and spirit of the Mustang.

While electric cars are the way forward, the Ford Mustang E represents a missed opportunity. It fails to capture the true essence of the Mustang, reducing it to a shadow of its former self. If you're going to make the bold decision to buy an American car, you would have to be mad as a bag of frogs to choose the Ford Mustang E.
