Why Lightning when they can use Thunderbolt? (lightning inspired Expedition that never made it to production).Yeah, that's honestly somewhat bearable if they did away with the tri-bars. Also, x2 on having been suggesting "Lightning" for a while now
I feel like "thunderbolt" is a bit corny, and doesn't have the heritage that "lightning" does. But definitely not an awful suggestion, and a HELL of a lot better than "Mach 1"Why Lightning when they can use Thunderbolt? (lightning inspired Expedition that never made it to production).
Actually, there is solid heritage in "Thunderbolt". What it was, was a very limited production, rude, nasty, big-block beast built to bring drag racing honors to Ford - about as opposite to any notion of silent EV performance as you can get. I was fortunate enough to have seen one of those cars back in the day.I feel like "thunderbolt" is a bit corny, and doesn't have the heritage that "lightning" does.

As a '67 (first year) Cougar owner, I agree wholeheartedly.Personally, I'd like to see the '68 Cougar taillight treatment on a modern vehicle. The Ford electric CUV would be a good place for that.
lol...
Ugh, indeed. Almost as bad as the idea itself is the fact that this has doomed us to having to look at a bunch of renderings of jacked up Mustangs.Still looks like a Mustang on stilts. Ugh.

Ah hell, I completely forgot about that thunderbolt! I even had a hot wheels thunderbolt when I was younger :doh:Actually, there is solid heritage in "Thunderbolt".

"Lightning" as a physical phenomenon is much more evocative of electricity than the rumble of thunder that is merely a by-product of that electrical discharge.
