"Mustang Mach E" Confirmed, Reservations Begin Immediately After Nov 17 Live-Streamed Reveal

[green97probe]

No one is arguing the fact that Ford is following any market trends or future speculation. The offended are up in arms because Ford has tagged the iconic Mustang Pony to a freaking minivan, jellybean, CUV, or whatever the hell else you want to call it.

Now everyone and their freaking grandmother is gong to call THAT thing their “Mustang”... and it’s NOT in any way, shape or form a freaking Mustang.

I hope the thing tanks.

It is the dumbest idea ever to put the iconic Mustang Pony onto that abomination. Sure it’s called the “MACH-E” (dumbest name ever) - but sticking the running Mustang Pony to it is making everyone think “it’s a Mustang”. Hell, you even have the MACH-E fanboys over on MACH-E calling it a Mustang....

and posts being started now comparing a MACH-E up against a GT500... are you serious?!? The top of the line MACH-E has 333hp... that compares to a GT500 now?

This MACH-E is a joke... it’s not a Mustang, it never was a Mustang and will never be a Mustang. I hope the Mustang Club of America takes a stance and declines it from being accepted into any shows as any heritage relation to a Mustang - its NOT a Mustang.

I agree. I want to see the Mach E fail. I want Ford to get a CEO that's in touch with Ford's heritage, and not office furniture.

I'm glad I was able to get my 5.0 while I could.

I’d be interested in seeing the opinion on this Mach E based on age range

At 32, I have zero interest in the Mach E.

To me, a Mustang is a two door fastback with a V8 and manual transmission, not a trendy EV/CUV.

If I want a practical daily, I'll stick with my Edge.

Why is it a big deal? The past vehicles are heritage by definition, this is the future. Just because it gets a name that shared with an older vehicle doesn't take away from the old or add to the present. Its just a name. I am 29 for those talking about age.

Sorry Norm, I've corrected my original post. I was just speaking in general terms. the comment was not aimed at anyone in particular. And i agree that any Mustang branded vehicle that is not a 2 door, 2+2 coupe will be at the expense of our Mustang.

Depends on the type of vehicle it is. Is it a base F150 or a Raptor? A base EB Mustang or a GT500? The good news is that engineers will be able to adapt a good EPAS system for both ends of the spectrum.

EPAS inherently offers less road feel than a decent hydraulic system, but the real ​

kicker may end up being what corporate allows them to do with it. For example, while it's fair to assume Ford won't ever end up with something as horrible as the early (and recalled) Q50's EPAS, I have my doubts that they'll ever dial pull-drift and ANC all the way down to zero even in the Mustang.


One of the things that bothers me about EPAS and various "active driver assist technologies" is the thought that Ford and others might be using electronics to crutch known shortcomings in the mechanical calibrations, instead of fixing the mechanical side.

Yes I'm considering the Mach E to replace the wife's 2018 Edge she on the road all the time and it gets 19 mpg. If Ford would make the ICE engine in the Edge get 26 mpg or more I'd keep buying gas and not worry about EV's.

Say what... We have a 2017 Honda Pilot and see 26-28mpg regularly on the hwy with its 290hp V6. The issue your having is the wrong brand for a decent mpg SUV.

The Edge is a bigger car but besides that not going to buy a Honda.

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

A little hash I would say, saying you hope they fail as a company. What, you want someone else to make the Mustang after Ford fails? Electric cars are just evolution and the way it is going for the world of computers and electric devices. Pollution free and we can make electricity from a water fall, the sun, the wind and some earth farts. All natural.

Signed it but as soon as ford gets its pre-orders tommorow I doubt they’ll be able to change the name or badging of the car due to legal reasons. Let’s face it some people will buy it specifically because it’s the Mustang SUV

I F*CKING hate to say it... But it actually does not look terrible IRL. Much smaller then the renders and camo pics suggested. That interior is hideous though.... Idk who thought putting the screen at that sallow of an angle and that high up looked good...

NOW FORD, For the love of GOD, do not call this a mustang. Leave it Mach E and retain the mustang name for the true 2 door coupe version of this vehicle... Please???

Again , I have NO issue with Ford making electric cars , I hope they make a zillion of them , and sell every one. But for gods sake WHY would they stick the mustang name to the pos and ruin 55 years of the best thing they had going. Sickening , 3 days later I’m still beyond furious at Ford. If they continue thru with this. Will never purchase a new Blue oval again.

God I hope this thing fails miserably and dies a quick death. Not because of the car itself, it looks like a great car for a 19 year old female college student.

An EV faster than a Jaguar I Pace and hopefully cheaper is in the spirit of the original Mustang. A people's car.

Spirit is fine. Name and ponies, not so fine.

I just posted on Mustang Owners Museum and California Special Worldwide Mustang Club. Figured it couldn’t hurt.
