No, that was different. There were redeeming qualities to what became the Probe. My sister had an MX-6 in high school (the Probe's twin), and it was fantastic, and most importantly, safe (long story on why that's relevant).It's the Probe all over again.
It's happening, I mean, they paid Idris Elba a fortune to do the commercial for it, have it on the website, and are apparently paying Jalopnik to say nice things about it while most other car sites are pointing out what a joke it is.I'm still hoping that it's all hype. They haven't actually released it yet, right? So, maybe they'll get all the 'negative' attention for calling it Mustang, without the lasting effect by removing the Mustang moniker when they actually release it. That would strike me as kind of a brilliant marketing ploy designed to bring attention to it. As electric vehicles go, I think it has a real shot on Tesla's normal turf. It's just not a Mustang.
I just snapped this pic from Ford's website:
What was wrong with just Mach E?
If it's a junk car then all you will hear is how that Mustang sucks!
They trying to use the lore of the Mustang to sell what they know Goddamned good and well, is a piece of S H I T.
ruhroh... I bypassed the dirty word filter. I hope I don't get bant.
It's like, "Something Something Platinum".
Let's sell aty golf cart and call it Mustang. If we don't, none of the cuck beard pole smokers will even take a second look at it. They're really thinking hard about owning something with the name Mustang on it though. Maybe it will make their friends think they're tough or cool as they sit poolside in their Abercrombie & Fitch grape smugglers.
Now this, I would own!
But, it has balls!Golf cart is super bitching.
Pool table lacks throttle.
Well to tell the story, a designer from a competing manufacturer disguised as a Ford bean counter convinced the other Ford bean counters that they will sell more of that junk if they called it a mustang knowing it would piss off the stang crowd.Sorry I’m so late to this thread but I just joined this forum community. I’m with you guys in feeling the Mach E is SO NOT a Mustang!! Every time I see on eon the road, I yell out and point “FAKE MUSTANG!” Lol. The Tesla Truck and the Mach E are the two cars that I see on the roads out here in California and they both anger me (but for different reasons).
While I understand Ford wanting to make an electric SUV and also get why a consumer would buy one, it annoys and angers me that Ford (or anyone who buys the Mach E) would think that’s a Mustang simply cause it has the logo slapped on it. It’s an imposter. End of story
