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.

It's disrespectful of the Mustang brand and everyone that has stood by it.
I agree Ford use this as a sellout move.. I get it they're trying to sell vehicles and this is a desperate attempt how to use a iconic Mustang emblem. throw it all over their products to help sell their vehicles... I can just see the Ford ranger not doing very good. next year is going to be a little Mustang truck.

Bastardize an icon......plain and simple. Stupid move Ford. Mustang “inspired” vs a Mustang. Pandering to non Mustang customers to bring them to the brand? Not an SUV Ford, that was never the intention of the model.....Lee Iacocca is rolling in the grave.

So what’s next, Mustang Minivan?

I'll bite.....just who is that market?
All other forums that are car oriented show this decision in a very negative light.
I'm being polite by not quoting the feed back.
because “car oriented” forums are usually enthusiasts. The market for this is someone like my parents. The ones that buy SUV’s and CUV’s that get better fuel mileage then his 18 RAM Limited daily or to replace his commuter car the 19 Optima Hybrid. Replace my moms 18 Santa Fe. That’s who they market to. Neither are on a forum, but both would love a SUV/CUV that could do 250+ miles and could be charged using their solar but in the price of their Optima.

I am perfectly fine with ford making electric cars if they are good... Tesla needs some competition. I just wish it looked more like



ford-mustang-inspired-suv-concept.jpg



If you dont like it you dont have to buy it... lmao who could legitimately be mad about another option? Dumb.

They should call it a lightning like some other people have suggested though, and also offer a 4 door coupe.

The last “people’s car” came from WWII Germany.....the Volkswagen. I get that Ford wants to compete with Tesla....just don’t use the Mustang name. Why does ever car need to turn into an SUV? People hauling around more crap than they need to.

Red one looks a freaking rectal prolapse. But I couldn't give a crap about it cause I'm not its target demographic. However to take a legendary name synonymous with enthusiasts and absolutely wreck it overnight is beyond stupid marketing I don't give a damn how well it performs. Sorry Ford..you missed on the name.
