Re: EEEwwww....Mustang Mach E...
Yep. Grew up a die-hard Ford fan. Have owned dozens of various Fords. My last remaining one is my Mach 1, and it's for sale currently, and there will never be a Ford product in my driveway again.
They've totally abandoned everything that matters. Force-feeding problematic tiny turbo engines upon us, the Ford Ranger debacle, releasing ugly designs, killing their car lineup, and now diluting one of their most storied nameplates. If that's how little Ford cares about their heritage, why as a consumer should I continue to care?

I just saw this today too. I knew of the rumored name, but I assumed it was just a rumor. I didn’t think “Mustang inspired” meant we are calling it a Mustang lol. I kinda thought the Mach-E would stick, though.

Most of your complaints are singular to Ford and are a byproduct of the current environment. I do agree it's ****ing stupid to put anything mustang with a crossover, just make it a high performance EV and leave it at that, put an ST badge or something on it lol

Re: EEEwwww....Mustang Mach E...
Not a fan at all. If ford wants to do an all electric suv that’s fine. Leave the Mustang name off of it and definitely don’t put a middle finger up to the Mach heritage which is what they did. The 03 and 04 Mach’s where designed by Scott to pay tribute to the past but with a modern touch and he nailed it. This is ford slapping a few name badges they own on something trying to get word recognition. It’s sad.

Re: EEEwwww....Mustang Mach E...
Not sure if using the Mustang name will entice more buyers with the familiar name or actually turn off more buyers unhappy with applying the Mustang name to this vehicle.
It does remind me of Mitsubishi’s insult to the Eclipse with a recent revival of the name in a crossover SUV..

Re: EEEwwww....Mustang Mach E...
Wondering with this debacle of vehicle naming that the 03-04 cars will be the last true Mustangs to carry the Mach name or will there be a new Mach 1 to go with the Mach-E.
Will Ford rename if it doesn't sell like they did the 500. Funny how the exact same car didn't sell as a 500 but did as a Taurus. Afraid the Mach name may end up as tarnished as the 500 name now is.

Re: EEEwwww....Mustang Mach E...
Ugh. I freaking hate this. They are ruining Mustang nameplate and with the Bronco most likely coming out with no V8 option. Screw that.
I'm guessing they'll only offer the manual in the tiny 4 banger as well. ugh. I just want a bares bones base model 2 door, SFA, V8, manual transmission Bronco. That's it. Simple. This electric mom car can go screw itself. The only reason it gets any attention is because it's electric. Ford knows that no one will even notice it so now they put the Mustang name on it to get the mom's with their 4 spawn to say YAY!!!! I have a Mustang. /gag.

Re: EEEwwww....Mustang Mach E...
Just watched a CJ Pony parts video where Bill announced there will be a new Mach1 Mustang to replace bullitt in 2021...
That’s encouraging. I have no issue with the electrics. Though I am Not completely sold on them either. Don’t like Ford using the Mustang or Mach name on it at all. If the concession is 2021 Mach 1 that may be palatable...

Re: EEEwwww....Mustang Mach E...
Just saw a real quick 15 second commercial for the new Mach electric. I doubt it'll sell very much.

Re: EEEwwww....Mustang Mach E...
Well guys, not a fan. I did like the blue color of the GT model and that was it. It is an electric SUV with Mustang like taillights and a funky Pony on the front. Interior looks nothing like a Mustang, I get why they are doing this, but riding on the coattails of an Icon to pull it off. Time will tell if this was a wise decision!

Re: EEEwwww....Mustang Mach E...
Just saw base starts at $44k and GT starts at $65k. Even if I liked it which I don't, not willing to spend that much on an everyday vehicle. Would leave no room in the budget for the fun stuff.

Re: EEEwwww....Mustang Mach E...
Id have to imagine this is aimed at Tesla so the price range is competitive
