This is the end of the Mustang as we all knew it since 1964, so sad to see this happen.

This new Ford may be the best car on the planet and single-handedly save the company, but it's not a Mustang as they have marketed that nameplate for over 50 years. A 4-door family sedan/SUV is not a pony car, and is almost guaranteed to alienate a large percentage of the Mustang faithful. I can't wait to see how MCA handles this. "Where do I park my Mustang-E, 4-door, SUV for judging?"

Their company, their car, their choice, but it seems to me they could have named it something else and not angered some of their most loyal customers while devaluing a nameplate they've spent decades cultivating.

Might be similar to 911 Porsche fans reaction to the four door Panamera.  But at least it was not called a 911 nor has it it been converted to battery power. 8)

"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Edmund Burke to Ford Marketing:  "Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it."  Like the original Thunderbird, the Mustang is sacrificed.  Meanwhile, GM's eight iteration of the Corvette positions it as a truly world class sportscar.

Instead of calling it The Mach e they might call it the Mocker-e 😂

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

This is probably the best article concerning the electric Mustang.

The C8 will mean virtually nothing to GM's bottom line.

This is about survival. Yeah, they shouldn't call it a Mustang, but I think they are swinging for the fences here.

The Maquis (pronounced MachE) are a terrorist organization in the Star Trek franchise. I guess they infiltrated the Ford Motor Company! 😂😵

So what will they call it in Japan.  Maki (pronounced mah-kee) sushi is the type that is rice and various items rolled inside of seaweed.

Johnston San, you know the MAKI name is more palatable and easier to swallow than the MACH E name....Arigato !
