Well, it’s great they gave it such a cool trademarked name... so just an FYI, MACHE is also known as a slang term.... (not sure where “towel” comes from though?)

That's the "Urban Dictionary" .... I'm surprised there isn't some twisted sexual definition of the word, lol.

The car reviewers are saying its not going to be meant for an uber fast driving car as per the article above. I dont think it will gap a mustang V8 GT

Ford can't even get over the air updates for Sync3 to work reliably, or update it with any regularity. The gadget fans they're aiming to attract with this transportation appliance are going to be sorely disappointed.

Ford would only change it, when they expect a big loss on sales because of that. Like the Sonic movie or 2019 Camaro SS, where they clearly measured that the bad artistic choice will cost them a lot of money.

For the Mach E: I don't like the Mustang name on it too, but besides the branding a lot of people seem to think that the car including design, technology and price is a pretty good deal and I already saw a lot of preordering posts on forums and IG.
Especially in Europe the Mach E is really attractive since there is not other big eletric SUV that you can get starting at 46k€. Model Y starts 10k€ higher, so maybe you can get a Peugeot e-2008 or VW ID.3? But that's where the Mustang name will shine, since the Mach E is actually pretty cool compared to the other ones.

I guess in the next 3-4 years a more family friendly vehicle has to replace my current Polo. I don't say I will buy a Mach E, but it will definitely will be one of the options I will concider - Knowing that it's not a traditional Mustang, just a great E-SUV.

you are the reason it is named a Mustang.
some will say oh a Mustang suv EV cool, but they
have not idea about league or history
equally important don't care about it.

I am curious as to the feedback in Europe.
what are folks saying there.

You got me wrong here (see my post here). If I would want to buy it, I would buy it for good value for the price and good looks - Not because of the Mustang name. They could have called it Edge E and I still see the value of it.
I know the heritage and I don't like the Mustang subbrand thingy they are headed to too.

In social media european fans are also not happy with the Mustang name, there are a lot of hardcore V8 fans here. They also hated the C8 for being midengine while in the US most people seems to enjoy getting a reasonable priced midengine sportscar. But usally this internet stuff is not affecting real sales.
The market for electric cars is growing and I think the Mach E will be a huge hit. I still would have chosen another name, but I can see that the Mustang name on it will push the sales.
