1920-21 mustang mach-e all-electric suv a hint of the past but mostly about the future.

1920-21 mustang mach-e all-electric suv a hint of the past but mostly about the future.

if the new mustang mach-e doesn't look like a duck nor walk like a duck why call it a duck? this new suv, though tagged with the past, hints of mustang in the head and taillights and ponies here and there. but this new all-electric suv is really built for an exciting future.
