But of course it is..... Because Ford seems to think that going all in on this SUV bullsh*t is going to win us over somehow....

Well, the Snake badge has most of its origins with Shelby.

Are you crying about the Super Snake F150, too?

Going to break M6G when the official announcement of the Shelby Mach E comes out since many are posting rumors today

Actually I don't mind Ford doing a Shelby version of this car. I don't mind the car as such either. I don't care for it, but I don't mind Ford developing it, because they need to be in the EV market. Naming it a Mustang however is a total atrocity and the biggest mistake in Ford history, even surpassing the Edsel. #notamustang

The day the car was announced and I realized its actually true the New ford SUV was named a Mustang,
I was shocked, not because it was an EV, more because it was an SUV.

I realize it will likely be a year or two before we know how it affects the Mustang Brand.
I will not support the Mustang EV from ford at any point in my future, simply because they did not
respect one of the real reasons I became a Ford fan, Mustang.

If Ford continues down this road, then I just become a consumer and very likely not Brand loyal.
Based on this odds are I will never buy a new Mustang in the future. Maybe a vintage one.
But then again will a vintage Mustang have any heritage or legacy left?

the last 10 pages people are beginning to accept it, Ford exc's bet on it and looks like they maybe
right. If you support something you don't want, then you get more of what you don't want

The guy selling advertising on this board is all giddy from threads like this. Massive increase in page impressions.

Plenty of guys on the Mach E forum saying the shelby version will be faster and corner better than a shelby. They’re also hoping the fake sound their car makes is that of the gt350.

Here’s a meme to hopefully brighten everyone’s day

I am losing faith in Ford. Am looking forward to the Bronco but am now doing research on the Jeep Rubicon.

Be prepared for more disappointment.

Ford has already received about 14,000 reservations for the Mach-E so far:

Ford knew what it was doing naming the car the ‘Mustang Mach E’. That seems like a lot of deposits in a very short time (even if they're refundable, and some if not many of them are probably from speculators hoping to flip their spot for a profit to people who just gotta have it first). Even though many old-school gearheads like me (and it seems many people here) were aghast at their using the venerable Mustang name for a very non-Mustang like car, Ford successfully achieved much greater awareness - and, apparently, buying interest - for the thing than it otherwise would have had it been named anything else. The old maxim is true, all publicity is good publicity. It was good business for them to sell out the Mustang name for the sake of potential future Mach-E sales, so they did exactly that. To any company, profit will always win out over anything else.

I personally am disgusted to see the Mustang name used on an electric SUV, and I also personally am extremely unlikely to ever buy an electric car. But I realize I'm a dinosaur. I represent Ford’s past customer, not the future. As much as I absolutely hate it, I know the future ultimately belongs to vehicles like the Mach-E, not the fuel-wasting, gas-burning, tire-smoking, manual transmission relics of the past that I grew up with and love. Maybe Ford can show Tesla and that smug Musk how it’s done (though I’m now really going to hang on to my Mustang forever, it’s the last of its kind).

OK, 1138 posts regarding a vehicle that we don’t like, with a touchscreen and power plant no one wants and a name we hate.

Any chance we can kill this thread and just go back to talking about our “S550” Mustang’s?

Better that what's on our minds about this all stay in this one big thread instead of being spread out over who-knows-how-many little ones. One line on the list of topics page instead of taking up a third of the page.

Damnit TopNotch. Beat me to it by less than 5 seconds

Seems like we are very close to the tipping point. Similar to 1970 where new cars are going to be crappier than the older versions they replace.

 

[Twin Turbo]

You both beat me to it, lol.

It's going to take a very long time for me to warm to this car. Everything those enthusiasts described about their Mustangs was spot on. One word stood out in particular.......indulgence. A Mustang is an indulgence. Its not a car you need.........its a car you want. And a much as I want to feel better towards Mach E.....none of those descriptions are suitable for it.

Even Dave Pericak, who is my Mustang hero, still didn't seem convinced. "A new pony to the stable".....rather than a new Mustang.

He called it a new pony to the stable because it's true. That's all it is. It's not a replacement, it's a new type of pony. We have had the same pony in the stable for 55 years and eventually... without introducing a "Female" pony... The pony would die... As hard as it is to admit, this is what the Mustang needs to survive in the future as the 2 door coupe that we all love.
