 I had no idea it even existed, but I looked it up after I got home and looks like it was released sometime in 2021




I'll let a few comments flow before I give my opinion!

 I have seen a couple Bronco's and Bronco Sport's. The EV Mustang is a lot more elusive.

 After I looked it up, I thought to myself they finally made a mustang that I would not buy.


It is quick though.

 Plenty of Bronco Sports, not the full one yet.  We see this EV a bit.  While I know they will be here to stay, maybe I am just too old fashioned, the whole EV thing just doesn't feel right.  Eventually I'll end up with one, but it will probably have two wheels only.

 The Mustang EV I saw was on a 4 lane at a red light with a Camaro RS in the other lane. The EV spanked the RS even though the RS had the quicker reaction time when the light changed.

Interesting article about the Sport rollovers. For it to roll over 400 feet down with enough energy to eject the engine the cab did very well.

 Plenty of four door Broncos WAN-A-Bies and a few of the new Mustangs... !


Like the Ranger, Bronco, and now the Mustangs... IMHO... poor attempts to make something different... wait they did do that !

All three will never see a space in my driveway, too bad, I waited for the new ranger... NOT; I waited for the new Bronco... NOT; and now they have taken the name of the Mustang and dropped it in the dirt, and raised the price of the F150 to a point where I for one WILL NOT buy it !

Have a great day !

I like the looks of the 2 door Bronco, next year we will see what the Raptor Bronco looks like.  While I would love to have one, I really have no reason to buy one.  Nothing wrong with my Ranger, everything works, and works really well.  Plus the big one, it's paid for...I guess I could pay for it outright, but I really don't want to spend that much of my money all in one place...

 Saw two of the 4-door ones just today.  One was the grey.  Nice looking machines.

The smarter thing to do would be to put the cash + extra padding in a Specialty Whole Life Insurance Policy, take a loan from that account, and pay yourself back rather than paying cash for the car to a bank or financing it. Be your OWN bank.  Treat your money just like you would the banks money and pay yourself back. Your money is coming back to you with interest, Its uninterrupted compounding interest, and the growth is 100% TAX FREE.

NO jokes.  If you're gonna be a baller and pay cash, be a wealthy baller.

 True if you do it before you are 40 years old. Whole life when you are 59 is about 600 bucks a month, a friend told me that.

More important, teach your kids financial responsibility at a young age so they don't screw up their entire life and have to work till they die.

An observation from a friend also.

Whole life is inherently not the best move, you will always loose.  If you need life insurance, always buy term, and then invest the difference in cost yourself.  

I just read a story on the total cost of charging your EV, from the difference in commercial charging costs, to at home up to including the cost of installing a charger.  They still cost more per mile to drive.  Unless you buy into the 'green' part of it, then you have to convince yourself that all YOUR electricity was made 'green'.  Not to mention the 'range' mentioned is never truly accurate for specific battery reasons.  Unfortunately I can't find that article anymore...

Still don't see me buying one, just yet.

 I know a guy who's mother bought him a whole life policy when he was very young. He's almost 70 and it only costs him 55 dollars a month. Like a 2 million dollar policy.

I can't remember all the details but I did do some research about 4 years ago and the math I saw made a whole life policy an incredible deal especially if you start early.

I looked in to it and it would be about 700 a month if I hopped on that bandwagon.

 Term life literally only lasts for the term you buy.  If you view insurance as covering your financial obligations, you don't need it after your earning time is over.  Whole life lasts forever.  Typically the death benefit of a whole life policy is intended to equal the payout value if you cash it out at 100.  If you borrow against the value, that amount reduces the death benefit as well as cash value.  You have to continue making payments through the life of the policy.  Be sure to pick a decent company, as if they go broke, you lose.  Start young because typically you need like 15 to 20 years in before you benefit amount will pass what you put in.  Whole life is a 'hands off' approach to earning the money.  You can usually get better returns on your money either investing yourself, or through other  investment vehicles, but it takes more of your energy.

 I think it is a disgrace to the Mustang. The Mustang should only be powered by the 5.0 V8. They even put 4 cylinder turbo and v6's which I think is a waste. 😣„

I agree calling the EV a Mustang is wrong. It is a 4-door crossover.

I do disagree about the turbo V-6's.  There was a street legal Mustang running a low 10 second quarter mile at the drag strip last spring. The guy that has dialed it back to keep from having to put a roll cage in it. A sub 10 second car is required  to have a 8 point roll cage.

 The thing is.... outside of the US, the Ford Brand doesn't carry much water, BUT mustang and Bronco do. if you notice "ford" is not to be found nearly anywhere on that car. Bronco and Mustang are going to be their own lines of cars each, with several models under each brand. I mean there is already the bronco and bronco sport, expect to see more variations in the future.
