The more things change, the more they stay the same . . .Proof positive that the Mach E is indeed a Mustang. Pay close attention at 0:20 and 1:11.

I don't want that much organization in my life?I don't like it. I don't want it. But I'm sure going to test drive it.
Id rather drive an automatic lima powered foxbody than this Infiniti with a Mustang Badge.I have less interest in this than I do an 80's non-turbo 2.3.
Ford has already made it quite clear that if you're not shopping for a pickup truck, an SUV, or at best a CUV, they've essentially thrown you away as a preferred customer already.Different perspective maybe?
Your dad makes something from the ground up, invented it himself. You take over his company when it's time and for a few years keep improving the product and keep making lots of money. You now get your hands on some new tech that will revolutionize your product and maybe make you even more money but like everything, it's not certain. So you make this new product while keeping most of the former line. It's entirely up to you to name and market this new product. No matter the decision you go with, people will love it, hate it, and not even care. How do you deal with those that hate it? Do you even care about them? If the new product line will likely make you money, ef the haters right?
Is there writing on the wall that the mustang as we know it might be going away? Sure, for years now. But it hasn't happened yet and it may not go away for another 50 years. Like has been said many times previously, it's not YOUR company, Ford can do whatever they want with any of it's products including name plates. Personally, I completely dislike what they're doing but there's also zero I can do about it. And because I purchased my Mustang last year, there isn't anything I need to do about it either.
It sucks but it's also fine. That means my next car will be a different make. It will only really suck if that car I want is only available a specific way and priced specific as well. If 100 years from now all vehicles are powered by dreams and look the same, it wont matter to us...being dead and all. I just turned 40 and hopefully the end of my driving career wont be impacted too much by the decline of vehicles I desire.Ford has already made it quite clear that if you're not shopping for a pickup truck, an SUV, or at best a CUV, they've essentially thrown you away as a preferred customer already.
It's not quite as bad yet as a century or so ago, when HF's stated position was "any color you want, so long as it's black".

My dad drives a Prius most although he's retired so not that often. But he also has a 69 Nova in the garage with a 572 for those quiet Sundays lolI'm sure we will all eventually relent and buy something electric. I myself will have a 60/70's era muscle car or truck with a 502 or 540 crate engine in the garage waiting to ruin everyone's Saturday/Sunday's peace and quiet. So it's all good..
that's how you do it.My dad drives a Prius most although he's retired so not that often. But he also has a 69 Nova in the garage with a 572 for those quiet Sundays lol
That's all an individual can do.It sucks but it's also fine. That means my next car will be a different make.
There is nothing like the sound and smell of a car from that era. A little before my time but I've always wanted my own "muscle car". Drove a 69 Camaro before and that was a blast. Someday...that's how you do it.
Once the CAFE laws are returned to Obama era levels and most likely become more stringent than Europe in about 5-10 years, the ICE Mustang we know now will begin to be phased out and morphed/replaced by the Mach E or a close variant. At that point you will have only one vehicle with the Mustang name. Hope it's one you can enjoy. Until there is no Mustang. That day will come as well.Only ONE mustang PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!
Only ONE mustang PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!
Our next ride - i.e., the car that will replace our DD/RT (coming off lease next May) - will almost for sure be a BEV.I'm sure we will all eventually relent and buy something electric.
