People that still say this about American cars haven't driven one or bought one in 20 years. If you base this off of some shitty Ford Escape or other rental car models than I guess you have a point. Could say the same about the worst vehicle I've ever driven which was a Toyota Rav-4.
All cars are shit now. The emission requirements have destroyed the auto industry. So much added equipment that the engines are compromised. Basically every manufacturer has significant engine problems and transmission problems. The systems are complex cause a lot of added engine heat, break down and are very expensive to repair. The insanity just keeps getting pushed along to meet mileage and emissions requirements.
Yes, it is. The Coyote motor is a great platform for performance. The only problem with the Mustang is that it's no longer the affordable pony car it used to be.
Outside of style, old muscle cars are pretty lousy to actually drive (and I have driven many). Anyone who's objective and can look past the nostalgia would admit that.

Well, the Mustang is good probably.
Nope.

Idc I still want a 73 Trans Am.
Cool looking car.
Talking longevity and reliability or so I thought. Coyote is a complex pig.
Tariffs done right!
Another day another win
”And here’s why this is bad news for American consumers….” - MSNBC
Let’s see.
Much better USA trade friendly deal with Japan. Check.
Much better trade deal with the EU. Check.
Does anyone believe that there won’t be a better US trade deal with China soon?
Can’t wait to hear how this is bad for the US.
