    To Roman: I can assure you that a majority of problems people have with this car are not because of its electric status, but rather its SUV status. If the "Mustang Mach-e" was a Mach 1 body with an electric motor, way more people would be satisfied. Saying people are hating it on the principle of it being electric is, for the most part, wrong. People were expecting this, and you said it yourself. You're shooting at the wrong target, I'd say.

He is right that names that last forever will not be the same as they were when they were new. And an electric coupe would have been an evolution to the Mustang. What we got instead was an abomination.

    They designed a Crossover electric SUV, took a step back and said "shit no one is gonna even look this things way. How can we get people talking about it? Slap some pony emblems on it, some design cues from a Mustang and we'll call it a Mustang." They designed a crossover first then later added Mustang bits too it for marketing purposes.

The Fusion isn’t even listed in their “Car” category so the Mustang is all by itself. Fords future is SUVs, trucks, and electric. They’re making it quite clear there is no room for anything else. The Mustang as a car is already a bygone era.

      @@ussliberty109 A better comparison would be calling a hi performance electric RAV4 a Supra because like the Mach-E, it's also built on a car platform, making it handle and act somewhat similarly to a car. Especially when you factor the low center of gravity a full "skateboard" EV like the Mach-E has.
      But even a 4Runner is preferable because at least it would be a Toyota through and through. Not some badge engineered BMW souless garbage. Cars need an identity to their own automaker. No one goes to Toyota to buy a BMW. I'll just go to BMW to get a BMW if I want it.

      @@cartilagehead6326 The performance is not the problem; it’s the image. If Ford branded this thing as the ‘Escape ST’ or something, it would have the image of a peppy little crossover for soccer moms or other people who otherwise have no interest in cars. Fine. Whatever.
      But by calling it a mustang, Ford is trying to convince you that it’s something that it is not. For the last 50 years, Ford has marketed the mustang toward a younger audience as a fun, budget-friendly performance vehicle, with practicality being a secondary or tertiary concern. The byproduct of both this marketing and the actual demographic of people who drive mustangs is an association with young, usually irresponsible hoodlums who are likely to get your daughter knocked up and try to skip town…Or by middle aged guys trying to recapture their youth - but I doubt that’s the image Ford is trying to convey.
      Now, all of a sudden, this ‘mustang’ is being marketed as an eco-conscious, practical crossover that happens to have a respectable 0-60 time. So when you see this ‘mustang’ pull up to your house, instead of worrying about your daughter getting in a family way with the local self-branded rebel, you’ll think “I hope those kids have a nice time at Applebee’s.”
      It’s incongruous with everything Ford has been trying to convince consumers the mustang represents and to me feels incredibly disingenuous. Like someone in the consumer research department said “We have an untapped market in the enviro-vegan-commie-techy-millennial market. How can we squeeze some money out of those naive little saps?”

    The outrage over the Mach is less about electrification, and mostly about the Mustang falling victim to the SUV/Crossover pandemic. SUVs are absolutely revolting to many of us and there really isn't anything you can do to change that. Putting a sporty name on it doesn't automatically make this type of car appealing to us and it makes us feel like Ford and Mitsubishi are treating us like babies with the Mach E and Eclipse.

      As someone who likes very small cars, I'm definitely not going to disagree on the idea of crossovers being some kind of cancer. Selfish, Unsightly, and Vain. ;)
      I do, however, get a little annoyed with the "not a real Mustang" thing - people said the same thing about the Mustang II back in the day, despite the contemporary "the Mustang II was not as bad as people say it was" phenomenon.
      In either case, it's a Mustang because Ford says it is. That doesn't make it "not a Mustang," it makes it "a Mustang I don't like." Which is fine. I don't care for Mustang IIs or post-1994 Mustangs.

    Not a Ford guy here, but this is just silly. You're trying to tell me how this is more of a Mustang than any before. And how great a car this is. This is not a Mustang. If you put an electric platform in a normal Mustang, I could understand that. This thing is an electric suv and some lazy marketing whiz thought it would be clever to call it Mustang. This is being lazy. Don't care how it rides or handles, etc., Ford built a new car, they should have given it a new name instead of riding the coattails of the Mustang. If this is the so called future of Mustang, they should've killed the name instead of shoe horning it into an electric suv.

    There is no denying the fact that the Mach E is a well thought out, well engineered and futuristic vehicle. However, this is where i disagree with Roman, call me a mustang perfectionist or someone who doesn't move with the times, but to me if a mustang doesn't have a 2+2, RWD, short trunk long hood coupe or convertible design it is not a mustang. And no, I dont disagree with the Ghia or Fox body or new edge, because they fit this criteria, 2+2 long hood short trunk RWD. These are in fact mustangs. The Probe was FWD, so no. This was no a mustang, and this was why people were up in arms, and if I'm honest, I'm a little disappointed that the mustang community allowed this monstrosity to happen.
    The electrification is not the issue. Mustangs were never originally meant to be muscle cars, they became with time, but they were always meant to be THE pony car. It was meant to attract people who wanted something different, and unlike anything else on the road, in Iaccoca eyes, that was his vision.
    The Mach E is the 100% opposite of this. the Mach E is a car that appeals to the masses. Its a generic looking SUV with Generic looking wheels with a generic 4 door design with a Generic infotainment system. This is has nothing to do with that it is electric. For example, I'm a huge fan of the electric Cobra Jet.
    I feel that Ford was threatened by the rise of Tesla. So they made a copy of what they make, and slapped a mustang pony on the front, because, lets be honest, nobody would give a shit about an electric ford SUV otherwise. Now people are trying to redefine what a mustang is. Which is wrong. Mustang has been this way for over 50 years.
    To me this is the "Vegan plant based burger" version of a mustang. It is meant to be like the real thing, but it is far from it. So lets just stop pretending. If you completely change the recipe and miss out all the key ingredients, how is it supposed to be the same thing?
    Look, maybe I'm just another whacko who is over-opinionated, and i know that in the grand scheme of thing my comment will make fuckall of difference. But seeing the brand I have been loyal to so long sell us out really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And all I can say is support this if you want, but its not the real thing. The other day a man with a mach E pulled up next to me and waved at me in my s197. I just looked back, looked him in the eye and drove off. You are not one of us, and never will be. If you own a Mach E dont expect to get along with mustang enthusiasts, who have put all their blood sweat tears and money into thier cars.

      A Mustang is not what you define it to be, it's what Ford defines it to be. They are the owners. And your criteria is completely arbitrary. "I'm a little disappointed that the Mustang community allowed this monstrosity to happen"? What the hell are they supposed to do? Raid the Ford headquarters? That sentence has a concerning violent undertone. You just don't get to decide what a Mustang is supposed to be. Mustangs are always supposed to be what gives Ford money. Lee Iacocca has been dead for 2 years now, and they had moved on, as should you. Ford has every right to redefine whatever they want even it had been a certain way for 4000 years. Again, they own the logo. And things are constantly being redefined in the modern world, you should be used to it by now. The Mach-E is definitely not supposed to be the same thing as the Mustang. No one is pretending here. Just because it has the name Mustang you think it's supposed to be the same thing? It's supposed to be a mainly fast and "cool" electric SUV. They used the name Mustang for marketing sake, like you know, every car name ever. You were just fooling yourself by being "loyal" to a brand. They never gave a single shit about you. They just satisfy you when it's convenient for them. It's like it's a big reveal or something. It shouldn't be. Let that be a lesson for you to see corporations for what they always have been. And finally, be as criterious as you want about who can get into you little club, it's your right, but just get over yourself, man. You're like a 10 year old boy nailing a big wooden sign in front of a treehouse saying "NO GIRLS ALLOWED". It's not like they're missing the chance of a lifetime, they most likely don't even care.

      @chrisrandom1404 2 роки тому +2

      @@HeortirtheWoodwarden I have to disagree. There are multiple things wrong with your argument. 1) Yes a vehicle is not what we define for it to be. BUT Ford has spent over 50 years defining what the Mustang as a sport coupe/ convertable. It's really hard to change that criteria now. Especially with a die hard fan base. 2) While things change in the modern world many things stay the same. A car is a car, a truck is a truck, etc. It's like growing an apple and calling it an orange. Sure things change and you own the product. But an apple is still an apple. They're both round and fruit but not the same. Which leads to number 3. 3) They are pretending that they are the same thing. They even advertise it as being a horse from the same stable. They even said they were aiming to sell to enthusiats. They claim the Mach E comes from 50+ years of heritage. They are allegedly one and the same. Ford was banking on using the Mustang name to sell the Mach E. Instead it has alienated potential buyers. Consumers can't decide what a product is named but they do decide if it succeeds or fails. Year to date sales of the Mach E are DOWN compared to the Mustang. (According to Ford themselves.) If buyers are not buying them then there is a problem with the product. I doubt it's the electric part as Tesla has no problem selling cars. My guess is the name and backlash it has received. No other manufacturer calls an SUV after their iconic sports car. There's no 911 SUV (that's Cayenne), there's no Diablo SUV (that's Urus), etc. You see the the trend? Ford did make a mistake naming this after their iconic sports car. Not so much because they called it a Mustang but because THEY defined what a Mustang was for over 50 years. And THAT success is what hurts the Mach E.

      @@HeortirtheWoodwarden Imma make this quick....Unlike keyboard warriors like you I have a life. Anyways. Ok. You know what man? You're right. You are completely right that ford has the right to do what they like with the mustang name. Just like I wrote in my original comment, I am probably just another over opinionated whacko, never asked anybody to listen to me. You read my comment and got offended. That's on you buddy.
      HOWEVER. Let me make this point so even a simpleton like you can understand. I work for a corporation, a very big one. Not saying which, but I'm paid pretty handsomely and have good benefits. So, I can't complain. But I understand how corporate structure works. And how it likes to shit on everybody and every single day I work I see how cruel and unforgiving the world is through the corporation's bullshit procedures. I see first hand how people are stupid and will believe whatever bullshit is thrown at them, whether we are talking about cars, or products, or brands, or social media posts.
      I understand that Ford is this exact same depressing way. They have a bunch of suits in offices controlling the business aspect with no humanity at all. Of course this is all for money. I'm not stupid. Financially this is the best move Ford could have ever done.
      What if, and it's a big "what if". For once maybe the hope of knowing that a company will do what is right instead of what will make the quickest buck. Maybe people get pissed off when they see a fucking SUV when they see their passion get destroyed. Maybe it's saying the era of real car designers are gone and replaced by a bunch of idiots in suits?
      The point I was making, which completely went past your head, was exactly what you proved. They did it for money. Are they allowed to? Yes, absolutely. Does that make it right? No.
      I don't wear brand name shit because I refuse to waste my money on bullshit. In the exact same way I will not spend money on this new "brand" of mustang. The people who buy it only do because they want the brand of being a mustang. Ford makes the mustang, but the owners made the name mustang mean something man. If it wasn't for the people buying mustangs in the first place they wouldn't have as big of a fan base to sell too. It's ecactly like sports.
      I'm not answering back to this anymore because I have more important things to do than start a keyboard warrior. I said what I had to say, and my opinion hasn't changed what so ever. You aren't a real enthusiast, so quite honestly I could give a fuck what your ass has to say. I don't need your faggot ass to tell me how company's are evil because beleive me I've seen first hand a company destroy people's lives, cause people to divorce, to losing custody of their kids to being suicidal. So don't give me that bullshit guy.

    I get where you're going with this but we all know the ONLY reason this vehicle, with its smoothed over Aztek profile (yah, I went there) got any substantial attention was it used the 'Mustang' name. If Ford gave it any other name, no one would even notice it. So, a great short-term sales move. BUT if the Mustang nameplate is considered iconic, the danger is dilution in the long term. Frankly, I think it would have been braver and smarter to make an electric version of the current Mustang.

      This is a modern Mustang. The Mustang was always about taking a mass market vehicle and making it different and more desirable. Falcon to Mustang, Fairmont to Mustang. What's changed is what is a current mass market vehicle and what is considered desirable. Current mass market vehicles are all SUVs. Currently the hot desirable vehicles are electric (even if some are not ready to admit it). So if Ford mass market vehicle is an Edge an electric Edge is a mass market vehicle made desirable so it must be a Mustang.

    "This is a Mustang."
    In the same way Halo 5 is a "Halo" game. Yes, it nearly has all the makings of a Halo game, but it has fundamental differences in its' design that prevent it from being compareable to other Halo games, including Halo 4 by the same developers.
    Car guys and Mustang fans aren't pissed because the Mustang went electric, as Mr. Regular insists they are; they're pissed because the fundamental design of this car is as un-Mustang as possible.
    Even with the Foxbody, one of the most unique looks for the Mustang lineage, it was still a two-seater taking inspiration from their original pony-car design.
    This Mach-E isn't a pony car in any sense of the word; it's the fat wagon the horse carries around like a burden on the Oregon trail. If Mustangs were about making the driver feel good as Roman says, this Mach-E fails in that department because you're driving a fatass SUV trying to fit into their old gym clothes when they were in shape, that STARTS around $50,000, far more expensive than all the previous generations.
    For fucks sakes that's only a couple thousand dollars away from a brand new Porsche Macan (starting around $52,000) and with that you get a Porsche that actually makes you feel special inside because the material is nice. The value is laughable, because there are much better alternatives even if you pay less cash. (The Tesla Model Y starts at $47,000, and has a slightly longer range as well.)
    If the Mustang isn't judged on the merits of performance and "handling" (seriously Roman, not even Mustang diehards will try to call a Mustang a handling machine), the only thing it can be compared to across generations is its' looks and style. The Mach E has neither.
    Yes, bodystyling is one of the more superficial parts of car design because it's just looks, but it's also the most important in building an identity within your brand. A Bronco will always look a certain way, so will a Dodge Challenger or a Chevy Camaro. Even the new Corvette, with the engine in a brand-new place and no manual transmission option, that's still a Corvette because it looks like a Corvette should.

No, we're mad that it's electric, and a cross over. Give me a Mustang coupe with electric motors that can tear my face off. Give me a Mustang Sedan with a V8 that can fight Chevy SS and Dodge Challengers. Give me a Mustang Crossover with that same V8 and it'll be palatable if it's fast. But this is a bridge too far, it's too many changes at one time to be accepted by the car enthusiast Ford loves to spit on.

    Forget all the bro/Boomer rage from the nomenclature stunt on this boring Karen-approved jellybean. What really enrages me is the pervasive design trend of carelessly slapping a stupid tablet dead center on the dash with zero regard for ergonomics or safety. Just a gigantic sales aid for clueless corporate units entertained by the adult version of jangling keys in front of their face.

      I mean, yeah, that’s the car market. If companies wanted to make serious small trucks they’d design a truck from the ground up instead of taking their crossover and hacking the back off. I understand they have to make money but a ton of products are really half assed lol, inb4 some ridgeline defender comes to tell me that most people don’t use their trucks anyway and the like

      Most of the interior feels like that.
      Dial shifters are unbelievably stupid and make no sense, the dash is a flat panel with an undersized screen, the console and mid dash area are just barren, and why the fuck are we still doing interiors in grey and black when dodge just brought back some incredibly beautiful red accents in the Rebels?

    Eh. I'm not a Mustang guy, but it's a misstep to call this thing a Mustang. Mustang means something. Every Mustang until this one has been a 'sports' car, all 2 doors, either a coupe or a hatchback. Every single one. Until now. I would have been fine if they launched an actual Mustang with an electric drivetrain - I think that would be pretty awesome, actually. I would be fine if they just called this the Mach E or if they came up with some other name. Don't take an existing brand name and slap it on a completely unrelated vehicle. I would be equally upset about an Escort truck or an F series sedan. Names have meaning.

      Bingo. The only way to make EV's economically feasible right now is to make them big and price them premium. But on a pure engineering level, a SUV EV is an abomination; clean electricity is scarce in the US and battery's are heavy and dear. If there was any justice in this world, EV's would be regular cars without all of the mass and bulk, cuz F=MA and adding electric charging capacity for an entire nation is not going to be cheap.

Overall the main issue I see with cars these days, whether gas or electric, is their excessive size - way bigger than most people need most of the time. Bring back little economy cars, stuff that was getting 40mpg in the '80s with far cruder technology than we have now.
