Right?

I want to emphasize: my issue is NOT that it’s electric.

My issue is that Mustang != SUV.

Also SUVs are fucking stupid, but I digress.

The only modern Ford SUV worth a damn is the Bronco, because it's a legitimate off-roader. Everything else is just a fucking station wagon, but stupider.

The compact SUV is about as close to a electric light truck as you can get in the US, so it does fit a niche.

And they're all built off the stretched and lifted bones of the old Focus.

Only the high end one is a legit off-road vehicle. They also make a stupid little box version of the car that definitely cannot excel in the dirt.

Yeah, I did not say "Bronco Sport," which is an entirely different model and also misleading bullshit.

and also misleading bullshit.

Right?
