OT: Mustang Mach E

[Elefantino]

It's a Ford. It's electric.

But it's not a Mustang. Discuss.

(It actually traces its lineage to my 1974 Pinto Hatchback.)

77 mustang, but 4 doors?

i do agree, not a mustang for me either. I would have named it something else or even Taurus electric just to keep the name still out there.

How much is going to be??

Ford put themselves in a bit of a box by canceling all US cars that aren't the Mustang.

I've read that it's an SUV so why even use the "Mustang" name for it?

It being an EV is the least un-Mustangy thing about it.

I was a pretty devout Ford person up until last year. Their business/market decisions are just puzzling and terrible.
My '79 Cobra project will soon find a new home, and when my '91 F150 dies, it will not be replaced with a Ford (if I bother to replace it all. Trucks are handy, but....)
Currently looking at 2008-2011 Challenger R/T and SRT's for a fun daily.

Maligning the "Mach" name with that thing is just another poor marketing idea.

Ford has a poor history of dragging respected names through the mud. It usually takes them a few years to right those wrongs...

Says Mustang on it clear as day.

Where's the confusion?

Looks more like a Mazda than a Mustang.

Ford used to own 1/3 of Mazda, so that makes some semblance of sense...

Let's be done with it and just call it Edsel II.

No radiator...no need for a grill.
