I would’ve been first in line to buy THAT Mustang versus a radical anti Mach-E zealot they’ve made out of me. I’ve owned two Mustangs in my life, they’re near and dear to me and everything about this latest grotesque shitbox repulses me. It’s disrespectful

Well a mustang and a corvette are two different vehicles.

duh

And now we find out that Chrysler is making an electric muscle car. Someone better collect those Ford lover tears.

A true ev mustang will be here soon enough. They needed to make a mass market ev so they could recoup the costs of R&D. Coming out with a 2 door muscle ev first would not have made financial sense for Ford.

Bingo. Now, I'm not a muscle car guy, but I think an electric RWD Mustang would be sick. Instant torque to light up the rear wheels? Yes please.

ACCURATE. Thank you!

Agree completely, that's where I stand with this car. Would love if they had just taken the S550 and gave it an EV powertrain. He is right that names that last forever will not be the same as they were when they were new. And an electric coupe would have been an evolution to the Mustang. What we got instead was an abomination.

Right on dude

I feel the name has come from upper management. They were furious that the engineers made a really good electric car, so had to give it a name nobody could possibly like. Then they could blame any backlash on it being electric, rather than it being an SUV with a Mustang badge.

@@beegeezee505 Not enough apparently cause it still happened 🤣

I love how all of you pretend like Ford hasn’t been phasing out making cars for the past 5 years. Lincoln is all SUVs. The Fusion isn’t even listed in their “Car” category so the Mustang is all by itself. Fords future is SUVs, trucks, and electric. They’re making it quite clear there is no room for anything else. The Mustang as a car is already a bygone era.

They should have called it the Probe. The original Probe was meant to be a replacement for the Mustang, but unlike now, Ford had the sense to read the room and make the SN95.

Yeah but difference is, the new Supra is in reality, just a rebadged BMW and feels like it when you get in it. Whereas the Mach E is a Ford product through and through. The new Supra has no identity of itself when a German manufacturer makes the car and Toyota just slaps their brand onto it.

@@anthonyreynolds2365 If Toyota made a new in house 4Runner but called it a Supra, would it still be a Supra (TM) to you?

@@ussliberty109 A better comparison would be calling a hi performance electric RAV4 a Supra because like the Mach-E, it's also built on a car platform, making it handle and act somewhat similarly to a car. Especially when you factor the low center of gravity a full "skateboard" EV like the Mach-E has. But even a 4Runner is preferable because at least it would be a Toyota through and through. Not some badge engineered BMW souless garbage. Cars need an identity to their own automaker. No one goes to Toyota to buy a BMW. I'll just go to BMW to get a BMW if I want it.

The modern Bronco is a unibody car with some mild off-road options available. It's more Rav 4 than Cherokee. The II was very off road capable. Problem was, it was built using swiss-cheese grade everything and it fell apart. When's the last time you saw a survivor Bronco II?

It's actually quite ugly. Very disappointing.

It’s way faster than 99% of them tho

@@cartilagehead6326 The performance is not the problem; it’s the image. If Ford branded this thing as the ‘Escape ST’ or something, it would have the image of a peppy little crossover for soccer moms or other people who otherwise have no interest in cars. Fine. Whatever. But by calling it a mustang, Ford is trying to convince you that it’s something that it is not. For the last 50 years, Ford has marketed the mustang toward a younger audience as a fun, budget-friendly performance vehicle, with practicality being a secondary or tertiary concern. The byproduct of both this marketing and the actual demographic of people who drive mustangs is an association with young, usually irresponsible hoodlums who are likely to get your daughter knocked up and try to skip town…Or by middle aged guys trying to recapture their youth - but I doubt that’s the image Ford is trying to convey. Now, all of a sudden, this ‘mustang’ is being marketed as an eco-conscious, practical crossover that happens to have a respectable 0-60 time. So when you see this ‘mustang’ pull up to your house, instead of worrying about your daughter getting in a family way with the local self-branded rebel, you’ll think “I hope those kids have a nice time at Applebee’s.” It’s incongruous with everything Ford has been trying to convince consumers the mustang represents and to me feels incredibly disingenuous. Like someone in the consumer research department said “We have an untapped market in the enviro-vegan-commie-techy-millennial market. How can we squeeze some money out of those naive little saps?”

@@PrintsCharming13 “the performance is not the problem, it’s the image” is the most Mustang thing anybody has ever said.

As someone who likes very small cars, I'm definitely not going to disagree on the idea of crossovers being some kind of cancer. Selfish, Unsightly, and Vain. ;) I do, however, get a little annoyed with the "not a real Mustang" thing - people said the same thing about the Mustang II back in the day, despite the contemporary "the Mustang II was not as bad as people say it was" phenomenon. In either case, it's a Mustang because Ford says it is. That doesn't make it "not a Mustang," it makes it "a Mustang I don't like." Which is fine. I don't care for Mustang IIs or post-1994 Mustangs.

Exactly... crossovers are dumb. I'd rather have a sports car, or a minivan. Not some drunken love child in-between wishing he could die.

Mustang Mach E is just the vehicle equivalent of a modern "Assassins Creed" game. If you stripped Assassins Creed from the title, you'd never know they were one.

Alternatively, they could have called it the ford E-scape.

I knew this was going to be a Survive reference before I even finished reading. I played the shit out of that game, and until then the only other Metal Gear I'd played was V (I put almost 900 hours into it, though). Shit, does this mean I would sorta "grudge enjoy" this car like I did MG Survive? Yikes...

Agreed

The Mustang badge helps Ford sell it as fast instead of "Green." It's an SUV Crossover because that's what Americans are buying. If the problem is the name, we're to blame. Coupes are dead and we killed them. Either the Mach-E is a Mustang, or the pony is going to the glue factory.

I would so have driven an electric mustang, sure i would have liked the gas guzzler sound, but this BMW 1 for grannies just ain't it.

Exactly. They could have put an electric drivetrain into the S550 body and I bet nobody would have complained.

Reminds me of a taller BMW Z3 M

Yes you are correct. That is the reason. Not sure why anything else is being suggested here.

I very much dislike the electric motor itself. But it’s not as bad as what they did here. It’s an electric Ford Edge cosplaying as a mustang. Regardless of what mustang means, this ain’t it.

There is literally nothing about this car that would not be improved by building it to an altitude closer to a Mustang. Make it lower, drop some excess weight, and improve handling at the same time. It's like Ford made the Mach-E bloated for the sake of being bloated. I don't even mind the name. What bugs me is that Ford actively decided to make the vehicle worse just to call it a crossover and synthetically improve its marketing appeal.

Thank you for breaking it down

And they hated the BMW mk5 Supra. So why not this?

THIS. This is the perfect point. I don’t have a problem with the car, I have a problem with the name.

Exactly. When I hear mustang i think sleek, sexy, 2 door sports car, occasionally convertible. Something you buy to stand out in. This looks like a bottom of the barrel, family car tesla wannabe. People buy mustangs because they dont want to be seen in something as bland as a tesla. Also, i was upset with the eclipse name as well. I was a huge mistubishi fan, but after the eclipse thing and the Evolution getting discontinued, ive never looked at mitsubishi as a company since. Names do carry a heavy weight with them. If someone tells you they're gonna give you candy, but hands you broccoli, wouldn't your expectations and excitement plummet? Same thing here.

Nah the new Supra is a BMW not just BMW parts. This Mustang Mach-E is still a Ford.

@@pianofry1138 Fair enough, but at least the basic concept (2+2 seater coupe with a straight-six and RWD) wasn't changed, so my point still stands.

@@Crysisfan96 was it though? Toyota had plenty 2+2 seater coupes with a straight-six and RWD among the years, a lot of them didn't wear the Supra moniker though. J29 is less of a Supra than most of it predecessors, and I don't think that the BMW involvement is the biggest factor.

@@pianofry1138 Every part was recast by toyota, the whole project almost got cancelled on us because of all the revisions toyota wanted to make

Yeah, for real, it's electric, fine, nobody's mad about, it's the whole fucking SUV aspect.

They called it a Mustang. Ford, at the end of the day, decides what a Mustang is/isn't. I don't like it either.

@@MrSlowestD16 yeah. If Ford took there modern real mustang and put 700+ horsepower and kept it rwd but electric people would love that.

This is a modern Mustang. The Mustang was always about taking a mass market vehicle and making it different and more desirable. Falcon to Mustang, Fairmont to Mustang. What's changed is what is a current mass market vehicle and what is considered desirable. Current mass market vehicles are all SUVs. Currently the hot desirable vehicles are electric (even if some are not ready to admit it). So if Ford mass market vehicle is an Edge an electric Edge is a mass market vehicle made desirable so it must be a Mustang.

​@@absolootdisaster1060 Yea it sucks but Ford can do whatever with the name as far as it relates to cars. They could even decide to just kill the name off altogether if they wanted. We have no control over any of it.

Well, Regular and Roman both called it "nimble" in this video. I wonder how their and my definition of nimble align. Poorly?

Shoulda just given the Mustang GT the SLS Electric Drive treatment: make it still a drivers car, but just, electric

Ford did make an electric Cobra Jet prototype. Granted, it was just a one-off, but it might be a sign of things to come.

You're right in pointing out the short term benifits. Ford knows that nobody would give a shit about their first EV and so to make some noise, they named it after the Mustang. Regarding an EV of the regular 2 door coupe Mustang, I'm sure it's in the works.

Exactly, it was an easy (and shitty) way to attach hype to an average electric SUV.

I agree completely, but getting good range out of a small car is really difficult. Less space to shove giant-ass battery packs.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

What if I told you there is a Mustang skid steer?

Just stick the pony on it and call it a mustang and there ya go! That’s the precedent Ford just set with this thing.

Its fucking embarassing

Right. I mean the outrage is a bit much at times but most people hit it right on the head when they are asking 'WHY call it a mustang' as opposed to saying 'this isn't a mustang'.

But it's SUV-crossover, and you like that, right, right fellow kids? They actually made Ford Station Wagon and Four-door versions of Mustang back in the sixties as a concepts, I shit you not.

man a real mustang wagon or shooting brake would actually be hella cool, but theyll never make one.

They made a Mercury Cougar wagon in the 70s, and the Cougar at one time was the Mustang's twin brother.

@@chrisrandom1404 Nah guy

A Mustang is not what you define it to be, it's what Ford defines it to be. They are the owners. And your criteria is completely arbitrary. "I'm a little disappointed that the Mustang community allowed this monstrosity to happen"? What the hell are they supposed to do? Raid the Ford headquarters? That sentence has a concerning violent undertone. You just don't get to decide what a Mustang is supposed to be. Mustangs are always supposed to be what gives Ford money. Lee Iacocca has been dead for 2 years now, and they had moved on, as should you. Ford has every right to redefine whatever they want even it had been a certain way for 4000 years. Again, they own the logo. And things are constantly being redefined in the modern world, you should be used to it by now. The Mach-E is definitely not supposed to be the same thing as the Mustang. No one is pretending here. Just because it has the name Mustang you think it's supposed to be the same thing? It's supposed to be a mainly fast and "cool" electric SUV. They used the name Mustang for marketing sake, like you know, every car name ever. You were just fooling yourself by being "loyal" to a brand. They never gave a single shit about you. They just satisfy you when it's convenient for them. It's like it's a big reveal or something. It shouldn't be. Let that be a lesson for you to see corporations for what they always have been. And finally, be as criterious as you want about who can get into you little club, it's your right, but just get over yourself, man. You're like a 10 year old boy nailing a big wooden sign in front of a treehouse saying "NO GIRLS ALLOWED". It's not like they're missing the chance of a lifetime, they most likely don't even care. It's really not that big of a deal.

@@HeortirtheWoodwarden I have to disagree. There are multiple things wrong with your argument. 1) Yes a vehicle is not what we define for it to be. BUT Ford has spent over 50 years defining what the Mustang as a sport coupe/ convertable. It's really hard to change that criteria now. Especially with a die hard fan base. 2) While things change in the modern world many things stay the same. A car is a car, a truck is a truck, etc. It's like growing an apple and calling it an orange. Sure things change and you own the product. But an apple is still an apple. They're both round and fruit but not the same. Which leads to number 3. 3) They are pretending that they are the same thing. They even advertise it as being a horse from the same stable. They even said they were aiming to sell to enthusiats. They claim the Mach E comes from 50+ years of heritage. They are allegedly one and the same. Ford was banking on using the Mustang name to sell the Mach E. Instead it has alienated potential buyers. Consumers can't decide what a product is named but they do decide if it succeeds or fails. Year to date sales of the Mach E are DOWN compared to the Mustang. (According to Ford themselves.) If buyers are not buying them then there is a problem with the product. I doubt it's the electric part as Tesla has no problem selling cars. My guess is the name and backlash it has received. No other manufacturer calls an SUV after their iconic sports car. There's no 911 SUV (that's Cayenne), there's no Diablo SUV (that's Urus), etc. You see the the trend? Ford did make a mistake naming this after their iconic sports car. Not so much because they called it a Mustang but because THEY defined what a Mustang was for over 50 years. And THAT success is what hurts the Mach E.

@@HeortirtheWoodwarden Imma make this quick....Unlike keyboard warriors like you I have a life. Anyways. Ok. You know what man? You're right. You are completely right that ford has the right to do what they like with the mustang name. Just like I wrote in my original comment, I am probably just another over opinionated whacko, never asked anybody to listen to me. You read my comment and got offended. That's on you buddy. HOWEVER. Let me make this point so even a simpleton like you can understand. I work for a corporation, a very big one. Not saying which, but I'm paid pretty handsomely and have good benefits. So, I can't complain. But I understand how corporate structure works. And how it likes to shit on everybody and every single day I work I see how cruel and unforgiving the world is through the corporation's bullshit procedures. I see first hand how people are stupid and will believe whatever bullshit is thrown at them, whether we are talking about cars, or products, or brands, or social media posts. I understand that Ford is this exact same depressing way. They have a bunch of suits in offices controlling the business aspect with no humanity at all. Of course this is all for money. I'm not stupid. Financially this is the best move Ford could have ever done. What if, and it's a big "what if". For once maybe the hope of knowing that a company will do what is right instead of what will make the quickest buck. Maybe people get pissed off when they see a fucking SUV when they see their passion get destroyed. Maybe it's saying the era of real car designers are gone and replaced by a bunch of idiots in suits? The point I was making, which completely went past your head, was exactly what you proved. They did it for money. Are they allowed to? Yes, absolutely. Does that make it right? No. I don't wear brand name shit because I refuse to waste my money on bullshit. In the exact same way I will not spend money on this new "brand" of mustang. The people who buy it only do because they want the brand of being a mustang. Ford makes the mustang, but the owners made the name mustang mean something man. If it wasn't for the people buying mustangs in the first place they wouldn't have as big of a fan base to sell too. It's ecactly like sports. I'm not answering back to this anymore because I have more important things to do than start a keyboard warrior. I said what I had to say, and my opinion hasn't changed what so ever. You aren't a real enthusiast, so quite honestly I could give a fuck what your ass has to say. I don't need your faggot ass to tell me how company's are evil because beleive me I've seen first hand a company destroy people's lives, cause people to divorce, to losing custody of their kids to being suicidal. So don't give me that bullshit guy. It's more you that needs to get over yourself buddy. Heres some friendly advice. Find yourself a nice looking girl get your dick sucked and maybe you'll be a less of a miserable fuck. 👌👌👌

Not forgetting the Bronco/Bronco Sport

@@randombuilds8336 well personally I think that, if the full size pickup is the f-150, and the “intermediate” pickup is the ranger, they should’ve called the maverick something like the scout.

@@undergroundwalkerisback922 it's a unibody more like a ranchero, or the elcamino/ridgeline/ aussie ute. So with the retro craze it wouldn't have taken much to get a similar enough look to use the ranchero name and get the retro sales pitch.

@@randombuilds8336 well seeing as the rancheros purpose was a utility vehicle with the comfortability of a two door sedan, and the new maverick is more of an inner city economy based “if you need a bed you have one kinda” vehicle, i don’t think it should bare the ranchero nameplate, or the maverick nameplate. If they wanna bring the ranchero back to compete with things like the Holden Ute in Aussie land that’s fine, but giving an old name purely based off some nostalgia trip to a vehicle that has nothing to do with the vehicle the name belonged to is just bad marketing.

These days Ford just makes a mediocre truck, a totally-not-a-duramax-diesel and 10-15 different versions of the Focus

Since he talks about "" "" "" handling""" "" "" so much, why not buy a miata at that point? Hell most cars on the road can out handle a New Edge Mustang

That’s a great point. I’ve always been baffled as to how someone so into cars drives such a dogass car like Roman does.

that's the same thing matt farah said recently actually. kinda agree. but i guess that'd be less interesting than beating on mustang owners/fanboys.

This is the take I'm here for. The Roman wants to use the No True Scotsman argument, but he is himself using a Strawman argument. "You guys are just mad it's electric." No, we're mad that it's electric, and a cross over. Give me a Mustang coupe with electric motors that can tear my face off. Give me a Mustang Sedan with a V8 that can fight Chevy SS and Dodge Challengers. Give me a Mustang Crossover with that same V8 and it'll be palatable if it's fast. But this is a bridge too far, it's too many changes at one time to be accepted by the car enthusiast Ford loves to spit on.

@@Petrospect There will always be a place for giving Mustang guys a hard time, but since even Mustang guys don't want to associate with this "thing", it doesn't really work from a joke perspective.

@@Dan_Danger_Brown The take also doesn't work because this video exists on the same chanel that insists that the new Toyota Supra isn't a Supra. Even if it was made with BMW, the new Supra is much closer in spirit to the previous Supra than this dissapointment of a Mustang is. If the new Supra is like getting brisket when you wanted tacos, the new Mach E is like shoving fermented fish into someone's mouth when they wanted a donut.

@@armchairmaster I would be very disappointed with lutefisk even if I did order it.

I mean, they admitted it was just to mooch off the iconic name for sales in the first press release I saw.

"We need people to at least wonder if this might be fast, fun, and rare, rather than write it off."

It's for branding. Similar to how people will drop 50 extra dollars on a white T shirt because it has a designer logo. If this wasn't a mustang it would basically just be an electric EcoSport.

Ford never really had a car name that was made famous, outside the Mustang.

@@Appletank8 Bronco, F150, Ranger, Crown Victoria, Focus

Do you mean to say Mazda MX-Probe

No... Ford's original Mustang big Time marketing mistake since the Mustang 2.

People probably would have liked the Probe better if it came with the KL-ZE.

Where the heck is he supposed to find one? They are super rare from what I can recall.

@@user-bv1gq8jj6b It killed me the other day when searching through the local Pick 'N Pull to see a Probe sitting on their yard just completely rotting away.

"Yeah, my parent's have a Mustang." "A 350? A 500? ... An Ecoboost?" "A Mustang!"

Boy this meme is tired.

@@catfish552 Me: Mustang v6 is not a mustang neither so ecoboost is not a mustang. My V6 Mustang:

My Little Mustang

GALAX-E

They're going to get Bryan Cranston to drive it and trade it in for Chrysler?

so.... featured in a hit tv show and ironically badass?

No it's not, it's not a good looking Mustang, but it's a good looking SUV. Kinda looks like a stretched out Porsche Cayenne

Johnny B Goode put your glasses on

styloroc2000 the point of the Aztec featured in Breaking Bad was to emphasize the complete hopelessness of the character driving it. Once his situation changed the Aztec was traded up to something better.

I mean, yeah, that’s the car market. If companies wanted to make serious small trucks they’d design a truck from the ground up instead of taking their crossover and hacking the back off. I understand they have to make money but a ton of products are really half assed lol, inb4 some ridgeline defender comes to tell me that most people don’t use their trucks anyway and the like

Most of the interior feels like that. Dial shifters are unbelievably stupid and make no sense, the dash is a flat panel with an undersized screen, the console and mid dash area are just barren, and why the fuck are we still doing interiors in grey and black when dodge just brought back some incredibly beautiful red accents in the Rebels? Im over here with a 1999 Ram 1500 and im calling this interior garbage

And the cars that do this can barely be kept from the customers hands, so the state of the market demand is really the reason why we are staring at these ashes of civilization.

They're trying so hard to become Tesla...

A friend of mine leased a Subaru with a giant tablet in the dash. He had to take the thing in to have that tablet REPLACED three times in two years.

I think that's everyone's attitude - an electric Mustang - proper 2 door coupe - would be pretty sweet in many peoples' minds, it keeping up with the latest in car technology and performance. But the Mustang - electric or gas - is not an SUV.

It’s a CUV at best

@@digheanurag Exactly the problem with the "SUV" fad. Most of them aren't even true SUVs. Like they honestly have no reason to exist over a wagon or minivan, aside from the illusion of capability.

Bingo. The only way to make EV's economically feasible right now is to make them big and price them premium. But on a pure engineering level, a SUV EV is an abomination; clean electricity is scarce in the US and battery's are heavy and dear. If there was any justice in this world, EV's would be regular cars without all of the mass and bulk, cuz F=MA and adding electric charging capacity for an entire nation is not going to be cheap.

@@stuntmonkey00 Hence why my dream commuting machine, once there's one of sufficient range and performance at a decent price, is an electric motorcycle. Overall the main issue I see with cars these days, whether gas or electric, is their excessive size - way bigger than most people need most of the time. Bring back little economy cars, stuff that was getting 40mpg in the '80s with far cruder technology than we have now.
