I don't know why they compare them, it's like comparing the Porsche 911 to cayenne, I bet they sell more of the latter
They do. But Porsche didn't call their SUV the Porsche 911 Cayenne. They called it the Porsche Cayenne. So you don't go in expecting a sports car. You still get a very sporty SUV that, at least in first gen, truly was the best SUV you could get if you wanted to go fast and still be comfortable and in the second gen, even the small 3.0 diesel version is plenty fun on the track, let alone the V8 diesel or the turbo petrol V8 version. But they never called it a 911.
The whole Mustang Mach-E thing is stupid. Just call it a Ford Mach-E and it'll sell the same. Don't ruin the Mustang badge with a crossover.
Or the Escape Mach-E. They already have a compact SUV line.
It's almost like the market for SUVs is much broader than for two seater sports cars (because ain't nobody riding comfortably in the back of a pony Mustang).
Rage bait. The article and @sunshine just want you engaged.
