I believe it is the badging that most people hate- it would be like Porsche naming the Cayenne the 'Carrera Type-E' or the 'Chevrolet Corvette SSR'.

And the real deal lacks the crisper lines of that rendering, going for a more generic-CUV look that would blend in with my sisters CX5 and CRV

Why am I the only person that thinks this is awesome? I think if it wasn't badged using the Mach nameplate the views on here would be completely different...Maybe if it was a Lincoln? The MPG rating on these will give Ford a lot of room to keep the mustang, with it's relatively low fuel milage, in production.

This rendering is what got me so hot and heavy for this car. However, that spy shot of the mule does not look close.

I'm not against the idea of all electric. And honestly, I don't care what they call it. What does it really matter? However, the price is going to be out of the range of what I'm willing to spend.

That all said, if they can offer similar tech and performance of the Telsa X at nearly half the cost... maybe they have a winner? Time will tell.

I actually think that this render is dead on. The camo really takes a lot away from it. But you can clearly see the side profile is just like the render. or 99% of it. Rumor is that the price is going to start at around $43k. Ford actually played this smart. They will be able to use a lot of shelf items from the mustang and keep the cost down. Headlamps, possibly tail lamps..some interior bits... Who knows really, as this SUV could be carrying a lot of components from the next Mustang refresh onboard.

All day to digest this and I'm still disgusted.

Call it the...
Galaxy
Falcon
Fairlane
500
Futura

Anything. Call it the SUX EV. Make an exciting product to get buyers in your showroom. Don't rip off a legend.


Furthermore, I'm expecting this front end to appear on the 21 Mustang update as well?

not at my post...
I think it is the color and shadow. Don't forget the $7,500 federal tax credit. It's definitely a little softer, but not drastically.

I thought these tax credits were going away? Looks like they will be phased out once 200K qualifying vehicles by each manufacturer have been sold in the US.

The funny thing is people who were die hard Porsche fans HATED and DESPISED the Cayenne and Panamera. Now people love the damn things and cant see Porsche without them in the line up.

Same thing happened when Porsche went watercooled in the late 80's / early 90's. People shit a brick. Now people love the 911 turbo, 911 GT2/GT3 and all the crazy cars since the 996.(i know they had watercooled heads - ala 959, but the first street car with a watercooled block was the 996)

Nissan diehards on the VQ38 in the R35 GTR. People went ballistic on the fact it wasnt an I-6. "The V configuration cant hold the horsepower that the old GTR could produce". Here we are ten years later with 3000+hp GTR's roaming around.

Another example, Ford GT. Everyone hates the V6 version yet its the most ridiculous car produced in terms of performance its astounding. Nope, people still hate it. Literally a carbon fiber race car for the street and everyone shits on it cause it doesnt have a V8. It decimates the GT40 and GT on a race track but its not worthy.

Updates and names are nothing on progress through the years. I believe this will be one where if they keep progress up we could see a ballstic actual electric Mustang GT with out of this world performance numbers.

Could this name have been chosen in order to meet strict California emissions standards based off of the CAFE regulations? It's a Mustang so technically it will raise the average for the Mustang lineup unless they average it only across the body styles which might be the case if I remember right.

LOL they are eerily similar, definitely looks like they are from the same product family and brand umbrella
