I love the idea of the Mach-E. It’s a very sleek and sporty looking crossover SUV and I’d love to have one. I just wish they’d have named it something other than a Mustang.

In my opinion, it’s like Ford took a giant shit on what the Mustang used to represent. Of course some of the other models they released under the mustang brand also did the same thing so…

Case in point: 1974–1978 Mustang II. God that thing was an antithesis to something like the ‘69 Mach 1

They've all been doing that for several years now. Ford with the Lightning and Mustang. Mercedes' AMG. BMW's M. Cadillac's V. Dodge Dart being an econo car. They all just love to shit all over their own prestige they've built.

Ford named a truck Maverick, too.

The Ford Maverick car was kind of a cool-looking car in the late 70s. But they turned it into the most generic vehicle possible.

I could probably go on for a while if I tried. Ford seems to be exceptionally bad.
