Lol I like the new suv, count me in. I will be buying a grabber blue model, not even kidding.
Perfect winter vehicle.
Don, it's not about liking the Mach-E or whether or now you plan to buy one. It's about Ford hijacking an iconic name and slapping it on this vehicle for nothing more than marketing reasons.

It's worth a shot. Ford will have heard us loud and clear over the last couple of days, but another avenue can't hurt.

Don't forget, back in the early 90s, Ford was going to replace the Fox with a front wheel drive, transverse engine car. The internet didn't really exist.....so the Mustang faithful wrote letters to Ford HQ.......and they listened! That car became the Probe and Mustang continued as the SN95.

We have a voice. Whether Ford listens and reacts.....well, that remains to be seen.


Signed.

ding, ding, ding... winner!!

and THAT is exactly why the internet is in an uproar....

First, Ford says this new EV is going to be the MACH 1... that started the initial uproar, which eventually subsided AFTER Ford backed down and silently removed that idea....then advertises it’s going to be the MACH-E with “Mustang inspired” blah blah blah....

then after the major leak of real images, prices etc. Ford now releases advertising with “Mustang” MACH-E.... calling it a MUSTANG.

It is not a Mustang by any means. It’s a Ford product, it’s a new EV, it’s going the way of the future and appeasing a certain percentage of buyers - but that vehicle is NOT a Mustang. Ford plastered the iconic Mustang logo and name to a new platform for the sake of hoping to hit a home run. That’s what everyone is up in arms over, period.

if Ford dropped the SEMA Mustang Lithium into production today, exactly as it looks and functions, hell I’d be a buyer - but THAT is still a genuine Heritage Mustang - it’s NOT a wannabe or something it’s not.

Good article - the Mustang community isn’t the only ones seeing the issue with practically destroying the icon:

Referred to as an “atrocity” in this article:

https://www.insidercarnews.com/ford-mach-e-will-anger-mustang-fans/

Lmao
Lol!! If ford is actually stupid enough to go through with this and completely destroy the legacy that the Mustang created , I 100% hope they fail as a company. Wouldn’t feel bad even slightly. Isn’t there kin of Henry Ford still alive and in somewhat control of Ford ?, and they are actually okay with this ?? Unreal

Signed it. I also do not want the Mustang brand diluted.

If Ford wants to expand a brand name it the Edsel E. The term "electric Mustang" is an oxymoron and also an insult to muscle cars.

Hell I'd be worried about any repairs. They can't even figure out why the battery in my stang keeps dis-charging.
Wonder if it will be sold at certain dealerships that get special equipment and training?

By Ford calling this new CUV a "Mustang" they are only diluting the Mustang brand.

If Ford would of called a new all Electric Mustang the "Mustang Mach-E" that would of been cool!

But calling a CUV a Mustang is the WRONG decision.

Electric CUV...AWESOME. Just don't dilute the image of the Mustang brand with a CUV. Call it anything else.

I'm so disappointed in this decision. Will make me seriously think twice about buying another Mustang. If Ford doesn't respect the Mustang Heritage, Image & Brand...why should I?
Agree on each and every statement.

If you like it don't sign it. I didn't post this for discussion.
Then stop replying. This is a Forum. The whole point of it is discussion.
