And us Mustang Mach-E owners are left out in the cold. Like it or not, I still call it my Mustang. Well, not mine since it's my wife's. She does let me drive it to church on the weekends though...

Ford getting all cryptic and sneaky with their teasers. Just tell us what you have planned 😆. I've never understood vague teasers that confirm nothing. Like you're trying to get fans excited, but you won't even show us anything to get excited over. It's like that teaser they showed at the 60th anniversary. Talking about expanding the mustang brand, but not saying anything else about it. If you want to excite us, give us more substance.

Actually, it's a very common Dutch name, especially here in Michigan. Hence why we have a Holland, MI. If you drive through there you can count numerous "Dykstra _____" businesses. No relation though, most of our family stayed in Michigan or close to it.

Just stop. You’re the one obsessed with maximum efficiency. You claim you aren’t but that’s all you post about. Consumers have proven without a doubt they’re willing to forego some efficiency and pay a little more for more utility and boxier styling. To claim otherwise is silly which is why you get pushback on those statements. It’s borderline trolling. So knock it off.

And now you're using personal attacks to get your point across? Knock it off!

Aside from the motors, it's the size of the conductors and the number of parallel connections to the battery. Without getting into the physics, if you can get power from the battery to the motors faster, the car can accelerate a lot faster (and charge a lot faster). Battery size doesn't matter, strictly speaking, but a larger battery offers more parallel connections, so it matters practically. Fast launches aren't a detriment like ICE, other than the heating of the conductors. Current heats the conductors, which increases resistance, which heats things more, thus the 5 second limitation on Mach E GT. Importantly, you're not wasting electrons in the same way that you're wasting gasoline by dumping it into the cylinders. Efficiency, other than conductor losses, is the same. It's a shame that EV's have become politicized. If you want to have fun, an EV is the best way to do it. I can't wait until my Rally arrives and I can turn in my Premium.

I’ve just about reached the point where my a-plan will never be used for myself again.

I feel the same way, Ford is my first choice as I work for this corporation but my loyalty is waning abit. I have an old Ford and I plan on driving it as long as I can

The 3.5 regular and 3.5 EcoBoost and 3.7 in FWD form only have internal water pumps if they fail and you don't catch it in time you need a new engine. If you do catch it in time its a partial engine disassembly to get it done. It's not a cheap fix at all. The 2.0T had coolant intrusion issues I am not sure if that has been fixed yet or not but apparently in 2015 or 2016 they changed the design and if you get coolant intrusion you need a new engine no ifs ands or buts. Ask my friend who had a 2018 MKZ. 69k miles and his car needs a new engine, Ford/Lincoln were not willing to help out at all he was 1 month past warranty but still under the miles. All of this stuff has shaken my faith in Ford. They are still my preferred brand but I have to really think carefully if I do buy another car. Thankfully that won't be anytime soon, I am very happy with my current fleet.

I really can’t wait for the day when ford isn’t the recall leader and quality really improves.

It is possible it could fit but the fenders were redesigned in the refresh so it might be off by a little. If you cannot get one from a dealership or Ford parts your best bet would be a junk yard. You can search local junk yards using car-part.com and try to hunt down a 17-20 MKZ that may have been rear ended.

You should be asking the dealer parts dept or ford parts.com.

Looks like a skinny kid wearing a fake muscle suit.
