G87 to F87

so finally got to see and quick drive a new panzer grey M2, thought i would share what I thought compared to my 18 M2, with some friendly sarcasm

I would describe the F87 has having soft sexy lines; the kind you see under a tight sweater, or lounging on a beach chair.
The G87 has much chunkier hard lines. It looks like it should be filling potholes. Its lines are akin to what you might see fixing your dishwasher. I'm not sure about them. I wouldn't say it looks better or worse just different...and whats with the rear reflectors...I'm not driving farm machinery.
The new colors also leave a lot to be desired. underwhelming white, a blue that looks like its been in the sun to long, and grey that must have been left over from WW2.
The interior is much improved though. Nicer materials (I like the brown option), and more tech and features, although, and I may be in the minority, I want gauges and buttons, and knobs.
Overall I will wait and consider this car in a couple years, perhaps they will have made some changes, or offfer some different colors, varients etc.

I didn't even catch that. I've never thought of Alpine White as underwhelming but I am of course bias.

The OP has never owned a F87 or driven a G87; has the credibility of a door to door salesman.

Gen 3 Mustangs came out when I was a kid and were made through my high school years. By ALL laws of nostalgia, should be my favorite Mustang. One of my friends still has one. But ugh, just not for me. I didn't really start liking Mustangs again until 5th gen.

But I'm glad someone liked Gen 3 and kept Mustangs alive, because it damn near got cancelled during the 80s. (The whole Mazda + Probe thing.)

No one cares about your opinion that we have heard a million times before. And your friendly sarcasm really wasn't humorous at all. Sorry, but your post fell flat on its face and was in no way clever whatsoever. Enjoy your fake M car. Not even a competition, Lol.
