Finally got up close to a Mach-E "in the wild" last week...
For what it is, not a bad vehicle and not the Pontiac Aztek of Ford.

But for what it is, it is shameful to have the Mustang nameplate associated to it. My initial perception was pirating the Mustang name is to leverage a marketing gimmick, but in reality it is just a complete lack of imagination when giving the vehicle its own identity.

Keeping the Lightning a truck and making it all electric at least seems to make a little more sense. At least they aren't turning the nameplate into soccer-mom transportation.
