I won't consider this car a Mustang until I hear of a good percentage of them being crashed into utility poles.

Mach-E is such a cool name. Mustang Mach-E is annoying to say.

That said they only picked that name to drum up the controversy and get people talking about the car.

I would totally drive a Moosetang. Or, if you want to be boring, just call it a Moose. But that would be hilarious. Make this happen, Ford!

Personally, I’m over complaining about the name choice for this crossover. It’s been 4 years now.

From time to time a manufacturer takes a car’s branding and expands it to encompass a family of cars with similar design elements. Example, Mini.

I’d rather move on and start having discussions about whether or not l these are good EVs and a reasonable alternative to Tesla’s price and performance.

I would have dug the moosetang tbh

I'm surprised racist Henry Ford didn't crawl out of the ground to beat the design team to a pulp. The Mustang was arguably the most iconic car in all of Ford's modern history. Bartered away all that legacy for a few shareholder nickels, like cheap whores.

There was a guy who made an electric classic mustang years and years ago. It was so damn cool.

Then Ford says "we can do that" and shits out that thing.

Interesting thing about brands, the owner of the brand gets to decide what they do with it.

The Mustang-ness of the MachE is forced, it definitely pulls some styling from the sports car brand, but it’s not obvious. But the Mustang is the closest ICE vehicle to the MachE performance wise. Ford is trying to show that EVs are sportier than people think. Drive a MachE, a Mustang, and an Edge (the other car the MachE takes styling from) and you’ll know why it’s got ponies on the badges instead of ovals.

I just call it the mach e.

I expect it pisses off Mustang drivers, and that kind of makes me smile. But Mitsubishi calling that blob an Eclipse makes me sad.
