FordBuyer 771 Posted January 11 Congratulations Ford! Two out of three is not bad, especially when Ford doesn't even compete anymore in that segment.

bzcat 1,371 Posted January 11 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 kyle, rperez817, Oacjay98 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buddysystem 41 Posted January 12 To some degree, I'm with snooter. The headlights are just messed up. The rest of the vehicle is great. 1 rperez817 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rperez817 791 Posted January 12 2 hours ago, snooter said: The f150 is just as bad...... Yes sir snooter. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rest of the vehicle is great. its just "different" looking then what we are expected to see with the F-150. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, both models look modern and fresh. Form and function go together well for both too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-dubz 577 Posted January 13 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 11,115 Posted January 13 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 411 Posted January 13 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rest are pretty bad. 1 CurtisH reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
