I mean, if I had the money, I would skip both and buy the transaxle as a crate engine and put it in something that's actually interesting.
Some people like a warranty on their dailies. Myself including.
I also race a Saturn sw2 with an ecboost. There is room for both.
Ok, another point. You have absolutely no way of knowing if the mustang name has had anything to do with it's success. People shopping for an ev suv probably don't care that much about a muscle car lineage. Saying that this discussion proves it does work is just marketing nonsense.
I mean wasn't it one of the best bang for buck EVs at one point?
My own problem with it isn't even that it's an electric Mustang. It's that it's a crossover (I wouldn't even call it an SUV) Mustang.
I own one, and I bought it because I needed AWD and wanted an EV. The pony badge made zero impact on my decision, and I would have preferred a smaller vehicle if it had been an option. It very literally was the best bang for my buck.
