Mustang Redesign Sexy If Can A Ford

Ford tells Green Dems smoke this in their tail pipe as new Mustang sticks with gas engine & is anything but an EV. For all its sucking up to DC Swamp, Ford still remembers how the pony saved its crippled rear end in 70s oil woes.

I owned one hell of a sexy blue, white striped Mustang convertible sometime after the 2008 market crash & got my share of jealous stars from envious neighbors. Little did they know the gas guzzler was giving me 12-14 miles per gallon and, aside from all the fun in driving around town with the top down (during Chicago’s gorgeous falls NOT miserable winters), I was glad to unload her in the end.

In revealing its next-generation Mustang Wednesday at the Detroit Auto Show, Ford Motor clearly is betting its first redesign in nearly a decade will continue to lure suckers, er, “enthusiast who still want to feel the rumble of an engine under the hood.” Brilliant!
