I like it, but one thing with electric cars- why do they have to make them look so different to ice models? Take away the front bumper and style it like a normal car and it’d be spot on. Same with the interior. There is zero Mustang in it.

I like the GT, with the blacked out grill and the wheels, it looks quite good. Not sure on the colour coded grill though, on the base models.

Great effort with Mach E. I think Ford just did what everyone already knew, and that is the Mustang name is actually a brand, and now's the right time to harness that marketing potential. Reading many of the stories they illustrate how much Mustang DNA exists in this product. The recent Top Gear article also talks about the sound mimicking a V8s harmonics. The shape I'm coming to like the more I see it. Seeing it in motion makes me think it's one of those cars you could buy just to stare at. |

By naming it Mustang they can charge a bit more for it, by making it a SUV (midsize? large?) they can charge a bit more for it too. Both these things important as the early electric cars are going to be expensive relative to the later ones. And the brand Mustang has strong positive connections worldwide.
Aaaaand, not coming to Australia. D'Oh. Oh well, there's the I-Pace at 120k.

I think it is great that Ford is producing an EV that can take on Tesla and that apparently has pretty smart performance. I don't mind that they are using the mustang name plate and if it helps boost sales and interest then all the better. Ford need to stay relevant as EVs and SUVs seem to be the future for the automotive industry.
