Ford Maverick

because the Mustang is a 2 door sporty pony car, not a SUV.

literally just call it Mach-E

Keep the name Mustang away from it.

The owners like to call it MME for Mustang Mach-E on their forum. So I guess they like to think of it as a Mustang. Need a meme on this.

By the way, don't search Mach-E on YouTube. There are some horror sorries of unfixable cars at the dealer and horrid dealer mark up. Ford planned to to not produce too many, so filling customer demand is a issue. I'm sure Ford will iron it out.

I had a '71 Riviera that I really enjoyed. It could have been called a Buick UltraMoist Spuddigger for all I cared. Whatever any nostalgia-ridden gearhead thinks of the name the Mustang Mach E is selling like hotcakes.

Personally, I've driven and/or ridden in too many crudely engineered, poor build quality "classic" Mustangs, Camaros, and Chargers to associate anything positive simply from their names. They were all pretty much garbage right on the showroom floor.

I'm with you.

I drove my first 911 in 1967 and looked askance at American muscle car fever ever since.
 
I'm willing to bet that in the not too distant future, the Mach-E, or some electric derivative thereof, is going to become the actual Mustang and Ford is doing nothing more than foreshadowing the inevitable.
 
They announced a few years ago that they were only going to sell SUVs, trucks, and the Mustang.
 
Right, but they never said what the Mustang was going to be. Just that they were going to sell it.

Clearly not everybody. I think that the Mach E is a Mustang. Ford seems to think it's a mustang too because they called it a Mustang Mach E, and put Mustang Badges on it.

A Ford Mustang is whatever Ford decides to sell as a Mustang. When they sold the miserable little shitbox that was the second gen Mustang, it was still a Mustang. When they sold Mustang based on the Fox Body with pretty bland styling, those were Mustangs. Now, they are selling the 'Mustang Mach-E', an EV Crossover Mustang. It's their brand, they decide what to do with it.
 
No, you're wrong. Sorry.

It's a Mach E.
 
I can't help but feel the famous acronym for Ford- Found On Road Dead- takes on a new meaning once battery powered cars are involved.

Just looked at Ford's website and I can confirm that they are selling the 2021 Mustang Mach-E. So, you are wrong, sorry, it's a mustang because Ford says it's a mustang and it's their brand to decide what to do with.
