FordBuyer Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Congratulations Ford! Two out of three is not bad, especially when Ford doesn't even compete anymore in that segment. Hope you get your new grabber blue Mach E soon rperez. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzcat Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Good solid efforts for MACH E and F-150... let's hope Ford keeps up this level of product development mojo for the rest of the line up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddysystem Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 To some degree, I'm with snooter. The headlights are just messed up. The rest of the vehicle is great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that among the 3 winners, Mustang Mach-E is easily the best looking. Fortunately drivers of both 2021 F-150 and 2021 Elantra won't have to look at the front end of their vehicle often. Both of these models have interiors that are notably improved from their predecessors, which is 1 reason that they won the awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm indifferent to the looks...its not a huge improvement over what it was, but its far from ugly. Like most trucks/cars that have came out over the past few years...photos don't do they justice at all. Just using the Bronco Sport as an example...it looked ok in photos, but in person it looks FAR better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, both models look modern and fresh. Form and function go together well for both too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too many unnecessary creases and lines just for the sake of having them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-dubz Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I don’t particularly care for the grille on most of the trims on the f150. The chrome surround looks too much like an oval. Then there is the interior oval shape in black. I don’t think that shape goes well with the boxy shape of the truck. the lariat doesn’t have that trim and looks much better in my opinion. and then the tremor grille looks the best.

akirby Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I wasn't crazy about the 2015-17 grille. I loved the 2018-20 grille which is why I bought one. The new one looks just fine. I assume most are interchangeable and easy to swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I see a new Silvererra, I like it for about 5 seconds and then it just looks terrible. Then again I've preferred Ford truck styling over Chevys since the late 70s.

92merc Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I like the new gen and previous gen F150 grilles. 15-17 wasn't bad, but not my favorite. I've actually grown to like the exterior looks of the Chevy/GMC. Interior of the Chevy is unforgivable however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest are pretty bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
