Is it me or am I the only one that came to a realization that this IS the new mustang. V8 muscle car/pony car is done?

I hope everyone is clicking on and reading all of the little exclamation points throughout that “reservation” page... before ME fanboys start plunking down their cashola... a LOT of the quoted figures are based on additional accessories needed to reach those advertised specs on top of paying for the ME....

The taste of puke is still fresh in my mouth , good god Ford get it together !! Hackett needs to be gone !! Has Bill Ford lost his mind ??

Bill sold out all of us.

All this BS about the "future" is getting me nervous.... Is the mustang going to be 4 door SUVs from now on? And that half hearted comment about always making the 2 door car doesn't count....

I got the same impression. They say they will still make the coupe but for how long? The reality is that coupe buyers are in the minority. Worst case would be if the Mach E outsells the coupe and they decide it makes business sense to discontinue the coupe. It may not happen because the Mach E may not be priced low enough to entice most buyers. Time will tell how well the Mach E will catch on. It is an attractive vehicle but again I have to emphasize it does not fit the definition of what the buying public considers a Mustang to be. Until the cost becomes more in line with average vehicles it may just be an initial short-lived experiment as Ford's first all-electric vehicle.

Who else is confused by the Mustang Mach E? Is this the end of the Mustang that we have known and loved for 55 years? Why steal the Mustang name for an electric SUV? I know the future is headed for EV and I’ll probably buy one in the next 5 years but keep the Mustang a Mustang. A fun, affordable, 2 Door Sports Coupe that looks like a Mustang. A Mustang is not an SUV and never will be. I think this is a poor marketing attempt to try to boost sales by using the familiar Mustang name. I wish Ford luck with their strategy but I’m sure this won’t sell 1 million in the first 18 months like the original mustang that America fell in love with. You better go get your internal combustion engine Mustang now that makes the noise we all love, because I think the end is very near for you to buy the Mustang as we known it for the last 55 years.

Didn’t catch that. This car is literally a ripoff of other cars.

yeah they renamed it California something and it’s one of the trims literal ripoff of the mustang. At this point if they don’t ripoff either the mustang or the f-series I doubt they can sell any cars.

God yes I was just about to say the same. Man there is a lot of asterixis and the words maybe potentially and if... in order to get their numbers you have to drive on a flat surface at 25 miles and hour while paying 75k with all options... and my fav is you may potentially save money by charging at more.... may potentially...lol

Basically they dont even give numbers and disclaimer that with epa needs to give the final numbers? epa has say on an electric car range? its like they have no clue what their own car does

I thought the same once they got the GT badge on it.

There you go. Introducing the new Mustang F150!

My fear as well. It felt kind of like the coupe is taking a back seat to the SUV.

Wait.. whut?!?!?

You won’t need to pay or sign up for multiple charge networks. Ford gives you two years of complimentary access to the FordPass™ Charging Network for easy pay-as-you-drive charging.

• Pay to charge your vehicle within the network using FordPass

Dear God.... Do they really intend to charge people a subscription fee to use their "fordpass" charging network to... Wait for it.... PAY for charging???

Basically the fordpass network partners with charging station companies such as Electrify America and EVGo, etc... To provide a "seamless" way to charge without having to sign up for each individual company and pay with a credit card at the station (the payment is charged to your fordpass account)

So if that statement is true, you will have to pay Ford a subscription fee after those "two years complementary service" to have access to Fordpass to be able to pay per use for charging.......

Btw this is something Tesla's superchargers do FOR FREE.....

As a Marketer I simply don’t understand the bastardization of an iconic brand like Mustang. That is all....

Well only car I see in my future is the Corvette C8 unless ford gets its act together. With this I see either the real mustang going twin turbo v6 or electric so I’m out for that. The camaro is on its way out. The challenger hasn’t had a major change in 11 years yet it’s still outselling the mustang but it’s also a pig with no handling.

guess the corvette C8 is the best option now to get into a V8 sports car.
