You mean MUSTANG Mach E. Dont forget the MUSTANGSo. What if we get a S2000 like mustang with the EB? What if we see a more modern sedan version? What would be wrong with this? I really can't wait to buy the Mach-E. And I like the idea of breaking off Mustang into its own branch and brand. Like FIAT did with Ferrari and made them a public seperate company again.
Nah. It's a Mach-E of the Mustang Brand by Ford. That's all it really is. Like how SRT was its own brand for a bit and how RAM is it's own brand. I think they want to break off their Mustang business to protect those in country jobs as they restructure FORD for the future tech and fab warehousing.You mean MUSTANG Mach E. Dont forget the MUSTANG
Read it and weep. More Mustangs possible in the future.

Yeah i cant sell my car. There's nothing out there I can replace it with...I've heard various people nention selling a vehicle because they don't agree with the direction that the company is taking long after their vehicle was sold as new.
What good does it do? Ford already got their money fron the original buyer.
Selling it now can only affect the current owner, and have no consequence for Ford.
Again, I'm just trying to understand this approach.
Identity. Many of us "car people" buy a car that we think/feel reflects our own personality. That may be even more true for people that buy a "weekend or fun car", as this car may represent more of themselves than they think their more sensible daily driver does. What Ford did by naming a CUV "Mustang", a vehicle that represents the POLAR OPPOSITE of what a Mustang has always represented to most people, now challenges the "real Mustang's" identity and therefore that of many of its owners. And make no mistake, it has already negatively impacted the image and identity of the "real Mustang" to other automobile enthusiasts and owners, as well.I've heard various people nention selling a vehicle because they don't agree with the direction that the company is taking long after their vehicle was sold as new.

That's simply not true. Yes, they have your money for the initial purchase price. Does your car last forever? Heck no, you have to keep replacing parts as they break. Where do you get parts from? Well.. the dealer is always an option(at least for a few decades). They are making money off of you long after you initially purchased the car.I've heard various people nention selling a vehicle because they don't agree with the direction that the company is taking long after their vehicle was sold as new.

So if I sell my car, it's not going to break anymore and the next owner won't have to buy new parts? WOW, that's better than a new car warranty.That's simply not true.

You're missing the point...So if I sell my car, it's not going to break anymore and the next owner won't have to buy new parts? WOW, that's better than a new car warranty.
Some guys here have had 2 or 3 AC evap cores done - lots of AC evap core failures on the S550. At $1500 a pop for the repair job, that's pretty nuts if someone had to pay out of pocket.How many pumps and evap cores have you personally gone through?
I'm not missing the point, I just think your logic is flawed. After the car is sold, Ford has made their money. If the car breaks under warranty, Ford suffers the loss. If it breaks out of warranty the owner suffers the loss, and Ford may sell the parts to whoever owns the car. Selling your car because you're mad at Ford for naming another vehicle after their icon thinking that that is going to hurt Ford in some way just doesn't make sense; at least not to me.You're missing the point...
I highly doubt the next owner is going to care like I do about the quality of the part they put on this car. I'm picky about the parts that I install on my cars.
You laugh, but a warranty on these Mustangs is crucial. The way water pumps and evaporator cores go out on these cars, that warranty will save your ass.
