Mach E

[fast Ed]

Looks like I have to eat my words on this one ... a few months back when it was being discussed here I opined that Ford would not give it the nameplate. What do I know apparently? LOL

[True Blue]

I wonder, will Ford be releasing a Shelby version? LOL!

[Screw]

I saw a blue one posted on IG , I’d trade my wife’s SUV for one and de-badge it lol

Looked at pricing ...starts at 50k & ^^^up

Maybe a good rig maybe not but using the Mustang name plate cuts deep and then rubbing salt in it using the Mach name too, its too much to take.

I expect this was done intentionally to light the internet on fire. It worked, but they pissed off a huge number of Mustang owners.

I hope it fails miserably and those responsible are held accountable.

If I worked for a Ford competitor, I'd be laughing my ass off right now and sending thank you letters.

Exactly my thoughts, inspire 21st century shock marketing to bring attention to a rather bland Electric SUV. Sad really.

Just so everyone's on the same page, we're all in agreement this gem is also associated with the Mustang name?



also this majestic stallion



and we live in an age where this is a Ferrari



and this is an Aston Martin



but we're going to get upset this is a part of the Mustang family?

^^^ at least the other ones are all cars

and the last one is an Aston sure...but not advertised as a Vanguish or Vantage V8


and @ Ed, yeah I read a few articles too that said they decided to not stick with the Mach association, there was a lot of backlash (just like there is now) before that when they first announced...who'd in charge over the LEO???? LOL

Look at this awesome Maserati



Or the countless M/// badged BMW SUVs....

but the M is a package...why not be able to get it on other vehicles in your line? Mustang isn't a Package, it's actual car line. Shelby makes a package for the F-150 but nobody says anything about that? It's not called the F-150 Mustang...

does that Rati share the same name as their high end sports car? It's okay in my book if a auto manufacturer makes both cars and SUV's

The way your talking it sounds like it would be okay for Ford to make a Mustang but not a truck and put the Ford badge on both? I'm sure this isn't what you mean but that's how I'm reading it...

The Ferrari hatchback is a Lusso, which used to be associated with a gorgeous 2 door sports coupe.

The 3 series name covers everything from a sedate diesel wagon, to a CUV/Coupe thing, to a rip snorting M3 sports saloon. Same with 5 series

To me its fine for a brand or a model range to be associated with a gamut of products. Im saying the Mustang Grande is more embarrassing to be associated with the Mustang name than this.
