The market's already saturated with SUVs and crossovers so every time I hear that a new model is being launched, my reaction is "Oh God, not another one!".
In the meantime, sports cars are in danger of becoming extinct. Do people only want to drive boring cars these days?

The problem is every car is so god damn expensive that buyers have to buy a do everything car and get as much capability as they can. Add to that that everyone thinks they NEED to have coffee warming cup holders, multi zone heating/cooling, internet connectivity, leather seating and many other ego massaging options. Then add that think they have to carry piles of crap with them everywhere they go. And they have to haul Susie and John and their friends around to whatever activity it is that day. And you end up with the perfect storm of I can justify buying a bland do pretty much everything I have to do SUV and not justify the small less capable, but just as expensive maybe more expensive sports car.

The real down side to that is if Mom and/or Dad are not into car and the driving experience, Susie and John will probably also not be into cars. And then their kids will not be into cars. I think we all see where this is going. The candle is burning. Unless a new candle gets lit the fire will go out eventually.

They should have called it the Maverick or even the Comet if they wanted to resurrect a name. Or even like others said, just Mach E.

It's a nice car, but why try and steal the Mustang identity for it?
take that fuckin pony off the front and put a lightning bolt or something.
Shieet im ok if they try and steal the lightning moniker! makes more sense.

Mustang is an important brand with millions of Loyal owners worldwide. No matter how good this new vehicle may be, using the Mustang brand is a BETRAYAL, and this uncaring action will be long-remembered along with the story behind the Probe.

I think e-vehicles are good and here to stay. That said, “this thing” would have been named “Edsel”. They just damaged 2 products with one stupid corporate meeting. I was waiting for Fords new e/car. I won’t bother looking at it...and became cool on a new 550. What a downer. Chevy just got a hand up. This is much like the “Retro” Tbird abomination. There was an opportunity squashed.

We should start one of those online petitions to get ford to take the Mustang name off that thing.
Who sat in a meeting and thought that was a great idea when you can name it literally ANYTHING else.
