yes, i know

old sedge
#

But in any case, I think taxes are big reasons

dire shard
#

some people in the philippines make as much annually as americans make in a month

old sedge
#

Custom fees too

#
  • lack of assembly plants and factories
#

Most of the popular cars from Japanese brands here are imported from Thailand

#

And maybe some Ford and Chevrolet vehicles too

#

Random thought: If only most SUVs and pickups in US are diesel powered, hmmmm

#

Turbodiesel engines would work with vehicles like Ford E-150

#

Their high torque would be great for hauling

#

Especially when hauling boat trailers

#

I think the US style markups in selling cars wouldn't work in Ph because of how poor most people here. Dealerships here can often be desperate in selling cars

#

After I test drive cars, I often get spam calls from sales agents and they offer zero down payment schemes

silent oak
#

Yeah dealers are fucking predators

#

Once they know your hooked

#

They will try getting a trade in or something

old sedge
#

Especially with their zero down payment schemes in exchange of high interest rates

#

If the years to pay is 3-5, then the total money you'll pay including the interest will often be like 1.5 times of the car's SRP

#

Or possibly 2.5x

silent oak
#

Well I got harassed by a dodge dealer for an upgrade

#

Atleast they don’t call no more

old sedge
#

Oh, if the sales agents find out you're a cash buyer, they'll be less enthusiastic in accommodating you

#

Top Gear Ph once said that 1 reason why dealers or sales agents don't like you is you didn't buy their car. After scheduling test drives, you wasted their time and fuel because you didn't buy the car

#

But isn't the point of test drive is for customers to see if they want the car or not?

silent oak
#

My local dodge has a scat pack last call

#

That’s why I love Vegas

#

You can rent the car you wana test drive

#

Without having a sales agent hunt you down

#

I don't wax my paint at all, that might do something good or bad for graphine aftercare. Do y'all use a buffer?

#

Too much graphine from a city wash is not good for your vehicle is what I'm learning

#

End up rinsin a lot. out here in the country...mhmm... I ain't tried buffering. Maybe it would give me a job today. Buffering....

kind osprey
silent oak
#

To see if it’s worth buying?

#

That’s how I test drove a few challengers I wanted to buy myself

kind osprey
#

It would be a decent chunk of my income to finance that car so I probably won't get one anytime soon

#

I don't wanna spend $1100 a month on a car I'm too young to ruin my life lol

silent oak
#

I test drove a red eye.. a demon 170.. a 2018 srt demon

kind osprey
#

Nice

silent oak
#

The red eye was fun

#

It wasn’t fuck off speed like the demon but it was quicker then the hellcat

#

It’s 797 hp

#

BUT YEA I love my Vegas trips

dire shard
#

supras have been keeping value tbh

kind osprey
kind osprey
#

Only difference in feel would probably be the gearing

kind osprey
#

Demon has a lower top speed

silent oak
#

The 2018 one produces 800 hp

#

The 170 produces 1000

kind osprey
#

The demon came out with 840

silent oak
#

All that weight reduction worked ha

kind osprey
#

They let you drive a 170?

silent oak
#

In Vegas drag strip

kind osprey
#

Isn't that rare as shit and overly marked up

#

It's probably hard to find one around

silent oak
#

It’s rare. And it’s overly marked up

kind osprey
#

How much were the drag strip experiences?

#

I'm surprised they offer that with how much liability that would create

#

Just letting random people hammer a quarter mile in a 1000hp car?

#

I would love to try it but the closest thing we have to that here is just supercar rentals on regular tracks

silent oak
#

Plus demon 170s have an even rarer version

#

It’s the demon 170 jailbreak

silent oak
kind osprey
#

Damn that sounds awesome

silent oak
#

He showed me how to burn out well

kind osprey
#

I gotta try this one day

dire shard
#

well if you're not gonna be selling it, you might as well use it like a tourist attraction

#

generate revenue that way

silent oak
kind osprey
#

Demon 170's don't depreciate

#

So it's a double win

onyx rivet
#

the Z is a good example of reinterpretating an older design

mental lion
#

The z is cool and all but for that price id rather have the emira

#

Limited pics this was from some time ago and I just came across these randomly

silent oak
#

Oh it’s Johnny silverhand car

old sedge
#

And imo, the Hilux's size would be more reasonable for everyday ordinary uses like grocery shopping than Tundra

#

300zx

old sedge
#

I still think the Civic Type R would be much better if it has AWD

kind osprey
#

The civic type r is already over engineered and expensive enough

#

Making it awd wouldn't be worth the trouble it already handles extremely well

#

The main thing it would help with is shitty weather conditions and launching from a complete stop

mental lion
jagged sentinel
jagged sentinel
#

And the Hilux occupies the same segment of the market the Taco does

mental lion
jagged sentinel
#

It would be considered a midsize truck in the US, which is what the Taco is

mental lion
#

While ive never been in a tacoma i can tell its very similar to a silverado and the f150

jagged sentinel
#

That's the tundra

#

The Taco is equivalent to the Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado

mental lion
#

Oh yea forgot about those

clever canyon
dawn drift
#

Nice, I thought its an engine swap

mental lion
#

But anyway the hilux wont be desired by the us people

#

Cos in all honesty its shit

#

Its reliable and gets the job done but riding in it might break someones back

jagged sentinel
#

It's far from unbearable, even in a place with as shit roads as where I'm from, but they're no Benz

#

The towing capacity of the Hilux is in between the Taco and Tundra

mental lion
#

Well they’re trucks at the end of the day

#

But the hilux feels like a fucking bench

#

And with potholes you’re done

jagged sentinel
#

Also I don't think americans would like any of the engines the Hilux has

#

It's gamble whether or not diesel engines that weak would sell well in America in a truck

dawn drift
clever canyon
#

Well it’s the same car

jagged sentinel
#

Likely including the famous RB26

dawn drift
#

tianmi said 300zx and it makes more sense

#

As engine swap

mental lion
#

I think ive seen tundras before but never a tacoma

#

Is it a us exclusive?

jagged sentinel
#

Pretty much

#

It was designed by Americans for Americans

old sedge
#

The only American sized pickup Ph has is the F-150, not sure if there's still Silverado here

jagged sentinel
#

No ranger?

old sedge
#

The Ranger is in the Hilux segment

jagged sentinel
#

Oh you mean full size

old sedge
#

Yup

jagged sentinel
#

I wonder what the rates are for service all the way over there

old sedge
#

These American sized pickup will sure be stressful to drive in Ph roads

jagged sentinel
#

They're still pickup trucks, even with a greater luxury element

#

Even without the off-road specific goodies they'll still be able to handle mild off-road conditions provided it has 4WD

old sedge
jagged sentinel
#

Yeah the physical size could be problematic

old sedge
#

And in many of this kind of roads, there are parked cars on both sides

jagged sentinel
#

3/4 ton trucks are to Americans what 1/2 tons are to Europeans

old sedge
#

I tried Hilux and it's already stressful there sadly

mental lion
jagged sentinel
#

I doubt Toyota will ever go above a half-ton in terms of size

#

Idk if y'all not from the states are familiar with that system

#

Probably not because the market for anything bigger than a half-ton (F150s, Tundras, 1500s) doesn't really exist over there

mental lion
#

However i remember seeing a long and wide wide bodied f-150 it was massive

#

Not sure if its a f150

jagged sentinel
jagged sentinel
mental lion
#

Yeah the bigger versions

#

Whats the payload on those

#

3 tons?

#

😂

jagged sentinel
mental lion
#

Damn who needs this in a personal vehicle

jagged sentinel
#

Though the chassis cab (pickup truck cabin without the bed) can handle over 4 tons payload

jagged sentinel
#

They are not fun to park

#

The newer ones aren't as bad because of the extra sensors and/or cameras you can option

mental lion
#

There’s also a single cab versions

#

Which doesn’t look like it can handle half the weight it actually does

jagged sentinel
#

They make a fair point about the Hurricane in the charger, but it's a much better engine in something like the jeep wagoneer because of the better fuel efficiency

#

Both of the Wagoneer's rivals have fuel efficient options

#

One of them really doesn't have anything else

They'll definitely make it a "sporty" crossover

mental lion
#

Not necessarily

old sedge
# mental lion Damn who needs this in a personal vehicle

Idk in the US. In the Philippines, one reason why people buy pickups like Hilux is because the excise taxes on vehicles except pickups went up and it went down for the pickups years ago, so it's more on to avoid paying more due to the excise tax.

#

And our gov't said that buying pickups as personal vehicles to get around the excise tax increases is frowned upon kek

#

Oh, the Mustang convertible is removed from Ford Philippines model lineup

#

And the only "small" vehicles Ford Philippines sell is Mustang

kind osprey
#

I wish Teslas were still as cool as this and had even somewhat of a wow factor

#

Now they just make ubers and those shitty low poly pickup trucks

old sedge
#

I have respect for Tesla for revolutionizing EVs, but my respect for them is only up to there

kind osprey
#

They pioneered, and then fell off like a rock

old sedge
#

What if Chinese brands like BYD catch up to Tesla in terms of EV quality, tech and sales?

old sedge
#

Oop

sage roost
#

I would take a comparable BYD instead of any Tesla any day of the week

#

They're using them as taxis here

#

But right now Chinese cars are just as, if not more expensive than their Japanese/korean counterparts

old sedge
#

Idk if it's true or not, but a BYD salesman said that the Tesla battery's technology is based on BYD's battery or Tesla uses BYD battery, I can't remember. Other than that, I guess Tesla's fall is already low that BYD has overtaken them

kind osprey
#

Before ev's china wasn't even seen as a country that manufactured real cars. Typically just shitty compacts and fake versions of European cars

old sedge
#

Yup. BYD was a nobody back then

kind osprey
#

They went from that to leading the ev industry because ev's were the only way they could disrupt the car market

#

They could have never done it in 1000 years if they had to development regular ice cars

sage roost
#

They were used only for the Chinese government officials

#

they're really nice tbh

old sedge
#

Oh my. I checked Tesla pricelist here. I'd say "No thank you, peace out"

#

Buying a Tesla here is only kind of buying a BMW

#

And some are as expensive as Merc and BMW

#

BYD Seagull here costs $15,650.33

mental lion
#

As much as an entry level bmw

old sedge
#

A Tesla Model 3 RWD starts at $36,755.61 here

silent oak
#

I would never drive an EV not worth the shame really

#

For the price of a Tesla.. I could get a nice family car or a personal vehicle

old sedge
#

According to my observation, I've seen many of my countrymen preferring Tesla over Chinese EVs because they accuse Chinese brands of invading privacy, but wasn't there a news report about Tesla doing the same?

silent oak
#

I don’t trust dodgy Chinese production cars

mental lion
silent oak
#

Atleast with Tesla. There’s some quality control

mental lion
silent oak
#

Not a good amount

mental lion
#

Nah tesla is notoriously bad at quality control

silent oak
#

I prefer them to china owned cars

mental lion
#

They’re not even sold in the us

silent oak
#

I don’t drive EVs so that won’t happen

old sedge
#

Some? I thought Tesla quality is said to be shit even with quality control?

silent oak
#

Even worse than Chrysler?

old sedge
#

Idk about that

#

But I think driving an EV here would be a "requirement"

#

At least in the capital region

#

Or be "forced" to buy at least two vehicles

silent oak
#

I live in the sticks, where little to no charging stations belong

#

And plus we have more gas stations then charging stations

#

So just economically better to buy a gas car

old sedge
#

In your place, it would be good

mental lion
old sedge
#

Here in the PH capital region, it's not

#

Because of that stupid coding scheme

silent oak
old sedge
#

EVs and hybrids are exempted from the coding scheme

silent oak
#

Have you seen where you can just slam a Tesla door and the door card breaks?

mental lion
#

Yeah lol

silent oak
#

If Tesla made hybrids tho..

#

Maybe

#

A strong maybe

old sedge
#

Imagine if you're banned from using your car every Monday from 7am to 10am and then 5pm to 8:01pm or you'll get ticket if you use it during those hours?

silent oak
#

Utter misery

#

I’d take my dirt bike around

old sedge
#

That's a stupid number coding scheme here which applies only to pure ICE vehicles

#

The day which the car is banned from usage depends on the last number of the car's license plate

silent oak
#

Well plus my car wouldn’t be legal in most states

#

For registration purposes

old sedge
#

Good thing the coding scheme doesn't apply outside of the capital region. However, in provinces, 4WD is required

#

Because of poorly developed areas where even AWD will struggle

#

So a part time 4WD would be required which is expensive

silent oak
#

Yes it is, how badly maintained are your badly developed areas?

#

Like CA roads?

old sedge
#

You'll probably have to drive through slippery grasses

#

Or slippery muds

silent oak
#

Oh so Midwest underdeveloped roads yes

#

We have some pretty bad roads the more rural parts you go

gentle crater
#

Ello guys 😉

silent oak
#

Hey

#

LOL Tesla qc

#

They may have "quality" control but the build quality’s not there to begin with lmao

#

Even their repairs have been reported to be half-assed

#

All that aside

#

Do you really wanna be driving a car that you just park at the dealer and they have full control of it without you giving permission to anything or pressing any buttons/giving them keys/keycard/whatever

#

That begs the question can they just shut off your car whenever they want or take control of the self-driving

#

Like imagine you’re late on your payments or something, your CC isn’t working so they can’t charge you so they just, stop your car from working, or better yet make it drive itself back to the dealer until you can pay

#

💀

mental lion
#

I dont think they reached that point yet

#

As automated as it is .having control over every tesla is still far fetched

#

There’s like millions of them

old sedge
#

Afaik, Ford is the one developing that kind of system which the car will drive itself to the lending company if you can't pay for its loan anymore

old sedge
#

In the future, maybe

I know that sites like this are just automotive slop, but...

#

Nobody talks... about the Nissan GTR...? What???

#

Comparing to a fucking Camaro is also dumb comparison

#

They also said, in this article, that the R35 has a manual

#

While failing to mention that the Camaro has always had one as an option

onyx rivet
#

post engagement via controversy, maybe

#

nevermind the fact that the gtr is labelled as a sports car in that title

#

im just staring at that article's thumbnail and while i still dont like the current facelift, i kinda get what it has going

#

It wouldn’t be less than $50k

jagged sentinel
#

MSRP is what I'm using as a metric for price

#

Not what dealerships are selling them for

#

And the Z occupies the up-scale sports car market, market performance aside

mental lion
#

If it will be then the demand will be high as usual and you cant get one for the official price

#

It’s ironic how dealerships used to have a hard time selling any sort of performance cars years ago

Mopar instagram gives us a bad rep.

jagged sentinel
#

Mopar simply seems to have more bad apples

silent oak
#

Eh maybe even more bad rep comes from modern mustang

Mustang's bad rep is mostly from losing control and hitting people. Dodge's is from crime

If I'm to buy a used car here

#

A Subaru BRZ would suffice I guess

#

On other hand, I've been seeing articles saying that Lexus is the most reliable luxury brand

#

I'm like "Is Land Rover's reliability a joke to y'all?"

silent oak
#

Are Subarus the new Toyota of reliability

#

I heard rumors that Toyota went down a bit on that front

rose sierra
#

How the reshells going after dad rolled 💪

old sedge
#

Afaik, Subaru recently overtook Toyota as the most reliable car brand

#

But I'd bet my money that Land Rover is more reliable than Lexus though kek

silent oak
#

Haha the I get the joke~

old sedge
#

So yeah, Subaru is on the top

silent oak
#

Rivian at the very bottom

#

Much like an EV

#

They look stupid

old sedge
#

But I think Toyota still beats Subaru in fuel mileage, at least here

#

And there are stigmas here that it's notoriously difficult to find Subaru spare parts after 3-5 years

But Subaru has nice tech

Just like Mini, who is also German owned

Reminds me of Lambo which is Italian but it was said to be owned by Audi

jagged sentinel
#

And Jaguar/Land Rover, who are owned by an Indian company

jagged sentinel
#

And they're the most successful they've ever been directly because of that

#

It lets the Germans do all the engineering and make the car run right and gives the Italians the opportunity to go ballistic with the styling

old sedge
#

Can't go wrong with German engineering

jagged sentinel

Lets the two different countries do what they do best

#

I’m applying to work for a dodge dealer soon! I’ll get to know where the production of the EVs come from before they are gone

silent oak
#

After the tariffs

jagged sentinel
#

They have a high mark-up already

#

Everything does

silent oak
#

Like every challenger in a dealer lol

jagged sentinel
#

Ford won't be affected too much because they make almost everything stateside

silent oak
#

Might get a mustang..

#

Atleast I won’t be charged more by tariffs

jagged sentinel
#

Sales for the mustang (Mustang, not mustang Mach E) are tanking

#

Ain't nobody paying 50k+ for a GT lmao

silent oak
#

Isn’t the gt v6? Or v8

jagged sentinel
#

V8

#

There is no V6 at all for th S650

silent oak
#

So no poverty spec mustang?

jagged sentinel
#

Ecoboost

silent oak
#

Eco my god boost

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

I’m a mopar head not a ford head

#

But knowing how Stellantis shit the bed

#

Might go for the other option

jagged sentinel
#

Ford is shit right now too

#

Recall after recall after recall after recall

silent oak
#

And Carlos fucking Tavares ruined the hemi

jagged sentinel
#

He ruined dodge as a company

silent oak
#

And ram

jagged sentinel
#

But his wrongs are being righted

silent oak
#

Basically the same company

jagged sentinel
#

They made them separate brands and proceeded to change...nothing at all

silent oak
#

I hope the new charger has a v8 hemi option soon

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

That’s the ONLY reason I’d be seen in that

#

I hate the interior of it, no gauges

jagged sentinel
#

All the insider groups are saying that a Hemi in the charger is a real possibility, which is a good thing

silent oak
#

Yeah.. it looks good..

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

Looks like Elon designing a challenger but with Tesla design philosophy

jagged sentinel
#

They also haven't said or done a goddamn thing with the SRT Banshee since they revealed it

silent oak
#

I admit, they did a good job with staying true to the classic 69 charger

jagged sentinel
#

I guess I shouldn't be surprised knowing you but still

silent oak
#

It respect the design decision! But the way they marketed it

#

Completely wrong

jagged sentinel
#

They marketed it fine for what they had available to them

#

Given the direction they were going I think they did fine

#

They were a little generous with calling it a muscle car though

silent oak
#

Their core audience wouldn’t buy an EV lol

#

It’s like a company like Ferrari selling a averagely priced sedan

#

Their core demographic isn’t in the market for it

jagged sentinel
#

They were forced to alienate their own audience because of a person who evidently didn't know the first thing about the American car market

#

"first thing" was used for the sake of emphasis but in this case it may be right in a more literal sense

silent oak
#

Fucking Stellantis, I’d buy a mustang or Camaro before touching an EV

jagged sentinel
#

I don't unconditionally hate EVs like some of my friends

silent oak
#

It’s also like hummer coming out with an EV truck

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

My states power grid plus lack of charging stations commonly available

jagged sentinel
#

I work at a Ford dealership with EV chargers, so that would be a non-issue for meTroll

#

Plus I could just charge it at home

silent oak
#

Plus social suicide imo

#

Idk a muscle car enjoyer bending the knee to EVS

jagged sentinel
#

People don't care that you have an EV as much as you think they do

silent oak
#

Like imagine mustang releases a classic style mustang but EV motor

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

That would be brand suicide

#

They better have not gutted a classic mustang..

I love how in John wick they didn’t even use a real mustang 429 because it’s so fucking rare

jagged sentinel

It was a Mach 1

silent oak
#

Plus wrecking a 429

jagged sentinel
#

I made that mistake myself initially

silent oak

The way he wrecks it in 2

#

Yeah no one would sell a 429

jagged sentinel
#

People do sell them

#

Prime examples can go for well over 100k

silent oak

I want one

#

I’d happily pay it if I had the money

#

Daily the bitch honestly

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

It’s a car not a show piece

jagged sentinel
#

I'm not saying I wouldn't drive it

#

I just wouldn't daily drive it

silent oak
#

Like I understand not driving a real one daily

#

But a clone / replica

#

I said I’d be happy with a clone of it

jagged sentinel
#

It doesn't have AC, supposedly has an overheating issue, and probably has too much torque for those tires anyway

#

Wait sorry

#

I mixed up the overheating issue, that's the charger Daytona and Superbird

silent oak
#

Mopar issues lol

#

Yeah mopar had a lot of em

jagged sentinel
#

Nose cone issue more like

silent oak
#

But SPEED

jagged sentinel
#

They also didn't sell well at all

#

Dealerships far and wide struggled to sell them

silent oak
#

The super bird is super uber rare because of that

jagged sentinel
#

Superbird less so because they sloped the nose so it looked better, but they both didn't sell well

silent oak
#

I wonder how the mustang boss sold

#

I hope they come out with a homage mustang boss 429 some day

#

Like taking design elements but using modern shit

jagged sentinel
#

The 429 is largely a footnote in the history of the mustang

silent oak
#

Imagine they release a limited run of “wick” edition models

jagged sentinel
#

The 429 anyway

#

The 302 was a more popular, conventional trim level and not a homologation special

silent oak
#

Isn’t the 302 the same body?

jagged sentinel
#

The biggest difference between the Boss 302/Mach 1 and 429 is a rear wing

silent oak
#

So I might need to find a 302 for a clone of the 429 body wise..

jagged sentinel
silent oak
#

My god the 70s / 60s

#

Best car DESIGN

jagged sentinel
#

And getting it to fit

#

The 429 didn't have AC because there was no room for it

silent oak
#

Ac? What about!

jagged sentinel
#

That's the main reason I wouldn't daily a stock 429

silent oak
#

What mustang model do you want

#

Classic modern

jagged sentinel
#

S550 (2015-2023) GT350/R

silent oak
#

I’m not deep into ford lore

#

Could you take a classic ford into a ford Service station?

jagged sentinel
jagged sentinel
#

Classic? Not so sure

silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

We don't service classic mustangs

#

That'd be a mom-&-pop shop or specialty shop thing

silent oak
#

Are the 2000s mustangs getting more expensive? The new edge ones,

#

I’ve seen a few not much to constitute interest

jagged sentinel
#

Prob not?

#

That's the other ugly duckling generation of mustang

silent oak
#

That svt cobra tho

jagged sentinel
silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

The 80s stangs got their asses whooped by the Firebird and Camaro

silent oak
#

I’m guessing you don’t like the new dark horse look

jagged sentinel
#

I love the look of the dark horse

silent oak
#

The front end?

jagged sentinel
#

Yes

#

I think It looks better than almost any previous gen front end

silent oak
#

Haven’t seen one in person

#

So can’t say if I don’t or not

jagged sentinel
#

I've seen multiple, and not because I work at a Ford dealership

#

We have one sitting out front and one in the showroom

#

Looks very good in white imo

silent oak
#

Surprisingly!

#

I prefer the dark blue

jagged sentinel
#

I'd definitely consider a dark horse for a new sports car

silent oak
#

What constitutes a sports or a muscle car now lol

jagged sentinel
#

If you can find evidence that the mustang isn't a sports car...

silent oak
#

I have a strange love for the 2000s mustangs

jagged sentinel
#

I like the facelifted S197s

silent oak
#

They look good yeah

jagged sentinel
#

Partially because of the NFS movie I won't lie, but I do just like how they look regardless

#

Too bad you won't be able to buy a replica of that car, probably ever

silent oak
#

The reason I love the early 2000s challengers is because of walking dead

#

Well that and breaking bad

jagged sentinel
#

Which is what you'd have to do even if it was possible to do in the first place, which is not

silent oak
#

Parts are scarce?

jagged sentinel
#

The people who made the bodywork destroyed the molds

silent oak
#

Oh so custom made ha

#

So going off pre made parts?

jagged sentinel
silent oak
jagged sentinel
#

The car is in NFS rivals so you could, in theory, use that game's 3D model for it, but I don't know if it's an exact recreation in-game

#

The wheels were also custom Forgiotos, so

#

Unless you can somehow get permission to laser scan the real car (which does still exist) from the owner

silent oak
#

Yeah sounds miserable finding a real car with the owner willing to let ya

jagged sentinel
#

And he bought the car in a Charity auction so there's a chance he isn't a prick

silent oak
#

Good

jagged sentinel
#

The performance modifications would be a... unique challenge though

#

And it did have them; some of them anyway

silent oak
#

My favorite thing about older mustangs is the body lines

sage roost
#

@jagged sentinel considering you're a ford guy

#

would you rather the Camaro SS 1LE or the comparable S650 mustang

Probably the GT performance pack, not quite the dark horse

Let's not pretend they aren't ludicrously expensive now too

I'd still take a 1969 Z/28 over anything past an early gen 5

I like the wheels

jagged sentinel

hot take but I prefer the 6th gen facelift over the pre facelift (we do NOT talk about 2019)

jagged sentinel
#

Most of the bodywork was kept I believe, the taillights did change though

jagged sentinel
#

The early taillights

sage roost
#

a classic

jagged sentinel
#

I think that's what they're going for

#

The results are... interesting to say the least

#

Not breathtakingly pretty but not desperately ugly either

#

Just... a little strange

#

That said, I like them over the refreshed 5th gen taillights, and I couldn't tell you why kek

sage roost

Personally I don't like the extremely old looking steering wheel on the early 5th gens

If a wheel starts spinning while attempting to climb a curb, do these:

  1. Immediately go full throttle by stepping on the throttle pedal to the deepest
  2. Never let go of the throttle pedal until the vehicle climbs
  3. When the vehicle climbs, let go of the pedal

A V8 is the single most significant defining feature of a muscle car

Muscle typically implies big ahh engine

A muscle car without a V8 isn't a muscle car but a pony car without a V8 is still a pony car

That may be a controversial opinion

I concur but the muscle car is dead so pony car and muscle car are now used interchangeably

The mustang and its competitors never were muscle cars
