Online petitions lol. May as well piss up a rope, it'll be as useful. I personally don't mind the vehicle but calling it a Mustang is dumb.

I know why they did it though. They just wanted the hype around the vehicle. All publicity is good publicity for it. If they just called it something mundane it wouldn't have nearly the press. It was actually a smart move for them.

I wouldn't consider negative publicity GOOD publicity. Too much negative publicity/reaction is just that...negative. So I'm not sold on Ford launching and marketing this "Mustang" for hype. Positive hype is good. Negative, not so much. Social media has taught many companies that lesson. Negative reactions/publicity can hurt a company financially.

Agree to disagree.

No one that is seriously considering buying a Mustang is going to buy an electric SUV instead because it has the Mustang name.

I wanted a mustang GT but know they have that ugly suv mustang I’m going with the m2 instead.

More than 10 have public ally stated since they killed the FiST they won’t look at another Ford.

Lol if you aren't buying a Mustang GT because of the SUV version, you were never seriously interested in it in the first place.

Also, the Fiesta sold poorly in North America. It's death shouldn't be a surprise.

The suv is garbage and only brings crap to the mustang name. Like the mustang 2.

fiesta did not sell because of the crap auto tranny. Besides that it got amazing reviews and still sells well in Europe.

It’s been taking a lot of crap everywhere, especially at the auto show. Hopefully they’ll take the hint and change the name.

I'm calling it the Mockery, because it mocks the heritage of one of the world's must recognizable cars.

Petition signed.

Expand on the crap and how people don’t like it at the auto show...
I hope Ford realizes they’re mistakes!
Mostly they said a mustang has always been a two door, and not an SUV Lol. I personally like the look. How about the Edge E.

I'm about to be in the market for a mommy missile. 10/10 would take a hard look at an Edge E. -1/10 will not purchase a Mustangy.

Thank You. I can’t stand the back. It’s ugly. Real/all wheel base suv called anything but mustang and or mach. Explorer E or E squared. Body of the explorer and performance of an e, home run!

The Fiesta didn't sell because it was an outdated car in a dying car segment in North America. No refresh would have changed the reality that it only brought prosperity profits.

Like I said, you were never serious about buying a new Mustang if the MachE bothers you.

Why would anyone want a sports car that is constantly interpreted as an suv? I have the new vette....the sports car or the 4x4 for the family? Dumb idea!!
