The City of St. Louis is under scrutiny after purchasing nine new Ford Mustang Mach-Es, raising questions about the need for luxury vehicles. Alderman Rasheen Aldridge expressed concerns, stating, "I don’t think the city needs to be buying luxury sports cars.” The Mustangs, bought to replace unavailable Chevrolet Bolts, cost $46,200 each. Conner Kerrigan, spokesperson for Mayor Tishaura O. Jones, defended the decision, saying they were selected for cost-saving reasons, not luxury.
