like the civic i want one than

Mini Van true it’s bassicly not a mustang

Mustang: Special Victims Unit, this is the story

Nobody is buying cars n e more. Only crossovers

Ford should rename it the Gaystang

So what bro

Without the mustang name it would be one of the best electric suvs but the disrespected the mustang name

Absolutely right. Growing up, I always wanted a mustang, but didn't have the $$$$. Now that I'm grown and have the $$$$, their new styling isn't want I like. I like the 99-04 bodystyle. So I'm hoping they get the styling to my liking, but this completely 10 step backwards for me. They nailed the Ford Lighting, but just not this.

It’s like calling it the countach honestly

Indeed. That's a good idea. I think though since the electric version is more of a feminine appearing vehicle. Could call it the mare (female horse). Perhaps make a mustang themed pickup totally different from the f150. Call that the stallion. And then the mustang in the middle. That would be a complete horse fleet

@@pathaze4299 The mustang was a woman's car from '94-'04

That might have been more appropriate

Right

Exactly they put the badge on a SUV because there popular right now (basically a money grab)

they did make one it was at SEMA and its bad ass

When gen z get better money management skills, sedans, coupes, and hatches will dominate again.

This is the issue for companies for decades... hence why Tesla is becoming the #1 American car company. Makes you wonder who is make the decisions in these companies.

Carl Ryan they'll probably do the same if it's a failure

It's for the China market where the Mustang name will help sales and not carry the history of what Americans associate with the Mustang name.

Ford is doing horribly bad in China, they are looking for something to hit. Electric has unbelievable amounts of pick up. I have no idea if Ford can get the technical side right or do right by their branding, but competition is good.

That want that money name, if it's not a mustang, not alot of people will buy it

dylan sheldt then it won’t sell as much.

Like BMW and Mercedes? They have no front trunks.

Kamel Purnell desperation in the marketing dept spread to senior management

Because Ford is failing as a company and has no choice.

It's desperation Ford knows they can't keep up so they had the brilliant idea of killing the Mustang like Mitsubishi did with the EVO and Eclipse.

@@yatinkheti2427 So it chose to completely nosedive?

Max Redman Lithium Mustang

Anyone commenting oh its not a Mustang, I'm out... thats not the point. So the dislike ratio because Ford "remodeled" Mustang as an SUV is just a marketing like ploy. If anything this will boost Fords stock price. Just like the craziness Elon has with the Cybertruck. The point is Electric vs Electric. Mustang has a huge name behind it. Put this new Mustang SUV up against the last Generation Petrol Coup version -- I guarantee you this will win. This is also not the only "Mustang" version being built. I would buy this... who cares about the name? Trust me. One thing -- Mustang refers to horses. There is no horses in this car. That saddens me.

@@infectedmethod You completely and totally missed my point. I like Electric Vehicles. Ford should have built an Electric Version of the Mustang Sports Car. Small do it yourselfers on you-tube have built EV Versions and they do not have Ford's $Billions of R & D and Industrial might behind them.

That would have made sense but instead they did a stupid marketing gamble that will blow up in their face.

As long as it looks like a mustang

They wanted to piggy back on the mustangs name. It has a lot of popularity so they think its going to jumpstart the sales of their electric vehicle.

Then we wouldn't be talking about it.

Emre Ozcelik exactly my thought. This guy has lost his marbles.

just like mitsubishi EVO ends in a SUV ...!!😕

Yeah, it's like calling an Apple an Orange. This is a Mustang in name only.

That's when you know they are desperate

Remember when the Mustang was priced close to the Falcon?

I'd rather buy an IC car and plant some trees against my emissions.. stonks.

Huh that's odd? Let me just check those numbers real quick....a 2019 Ford Mustang GT MSRP is $35,355 and the year they gave was 2015 which adjusted for inflation a GT is $35,531 (oh that's actually a little more expensive than a current model). What about a 2005 model adjusted for inflation which is another time they said was at the height of the model? $35,252, well I'll be damned if it's almost as if prices haven't really become too high. It's almost as if humans are really bad at adjusting themselves to inflation as they age and so they lock themselves into what prices were when they were when they first started to pay for stuff on their own and think stuff should always cost that much the rest of their lives. It's why people in their 80's complain about how gas used to cost $.50/gal even though at $2.15/gal it's still the same price. Not to mention all cars have a crap ton more standard nowadays than they used to. The real reason that those cars are losing sales is that they haven't had model refreshes (even the model refreshes 4 years ago were barely a facelift) and the Challenger is only selling so well cause of stuff like the Demon. Sales are also declining across the car industry because the bubble is about the burst.

@@Jaqen-HGhar I agree with your price analysis. It's not about money. I do think that people have lost interest in sedans and coupes, at least in the US. Hatchbacks and crossovers are bigger and seem to be more practical. I think it's a travesty that the Mustang is being produced as a crossover, but it does seem that that's what people are buying these days.

@@TomHarrisonJr I don't think it's so much that they have lost interest in sedans and coupes as much as interest is just going back to what they always have been. Interest was artificially inflated from 2007-8 until a few years ago because of high fuel cost and people just not having great options for what to do about it. Now that SUVs/Crossovers are getting good enough gas mileage and electrics are an option and gas is as cheap as it's ever been people are just going back to the vehicles they got rid of back when gas was $4/gal.

This will flop. This will destroy the Mustang brand (the brand which is a single car like the 911 is to Porsche). Elon Musk is doing a tap dance right now because he's going to own Ford in another 10 years once their stock prices plummet into oblivion. These kind of moves sink companies. This will be in future marketing textbooks as a highlighted case study of what not to do. Hello 25% additional market share for Tesla.

They're not. The current Mustang starts at $26,000, and the Mach E will start at $40,000. The Mustang 2020 only gets up to $50,000 if you make it a GT and add all of the options in.

@@UTUBESUCK666 yes I do.

@@twany442 They have no concept of style...

Right. I think it would be revolutionary if they turned the mustang electric. They did not have to turn it into an SUV

You would think the old-timey design engineers were just throwing a tantrum about having to step out of their comfort zone and don't want you to actually buy it. Being tone deaf & trying to keep the market stuck in the past isn't exactly out of character for American auto manufacturers.

I would buy it.

They did make that prototype Lithium which is nice.

They covered that in the video, the overall market for two door coupes was steadily diminishing.

Totally true, fans of the mustang are real petrolheads and they want a car that actually looks like a petrol car.

Luuk Jansen to be fair, it already looks like a petrol car, just a really boring one that bears no resemblance to the car it’s named after lol

Robert Blackford Yes, but it’s in spite of the name, not because of it. It honestly looks like a great car, it just shouldn’t be called a mustang. I can’t take credit for it, but someone on another video said they should have called it the Galax-E or just the Mach E and both of those would have been much more appropriate names

Robert Blackford A) chill out with the tone, I’m not being negative or anything. B) people are buying it because it’s the first affordable electric crossover to hit the market that looks really nice (I personally can’t stand the Kona). My two friends who have ordered a Mach E did it because they didn’t want to wait for a Model Y (and honestly didn’t love the single screen experience) and didn’t want to pay the premium for an X, E Tron or I Pace. They didn’t buy it because it’s a mustang, they bought it because it’s the best choice on the market for their needs/wants. Also, not that it actually matters, but I drive a Model S, so I’m looking at this from the perspective of someone who’s both a huge Petrolhead and an EV owner. Again, the name isn’t really a negative, it’s just also not a positive in my view. I’m just glad Ford is selling tons of them. The sooner the vast majority of cars convert to electric the better

...

I would buy a tesla motor and batteries and install on a mustang chassis... this would be nice ... nice to see, and fast to drive.

The body is closer to a Focus or Escape, but people might think it was cheap or had an ordinary engine. Mustang just confuses further, but it's a positive connotation.

Could have called it a Fairmont? A Cougar? A Zephyr? An Edsel Bermuda?

That's not an emotion.

@@matthewschiebout7384 Shelby version is coming. If the Mach-E GT Performance can match a Shelby GT500 from the line, a Shelby Mach-E ought to drop the old fashioned fossil Shelby hard.

@@halohunter5217 the Probe was a great car! The idea to make it a Mustang at first? Not so much.

Of course they are. It’s the same basic people who say their car has a “V4.” It’s the same people who wonder what fluid to put into their “710” cap. The Mustang name is a legacy created by 55 years of best tuners like Shelby, Saleen and Roush. These cars are fast loud and awesome! This creates a barrier to entry so basics don’t buy them . They want to buy awesome cars but they’re too scared, too practical and too boring. The Ford “Mustang” Mach-e isn’t the first time a brand has sold its soul for a price. Porsche did this with their atrocious SUV and really send Ferdinand rolling with their hideous Panamera. Basic-a$$ Volkswagens with Porsche badges glued on them. The name Porsche use to be synonymous with purebred sports car. I no longer see the Porsche brand the same way I see the Ferrari brand. They’re automatic transmission having status symbols for soccer moms. What it boils down to is a huge insult to the engineers, designers, tuners, builders and hobbyists that have made the Mustang the legendary nameplate it is today. It’s an insult to the 55 years of executive decision to keep the name “Mustang” pure instead of selling it out to other vehicle types in the name of profit.

They did it's an electric Ford Escape.

They did, they put the ford logo on a Tesla

@@M0rdFustang It is... because enthusiasts are not the entire market in anything, they are usual a small silver of the market.

They have sold out their production numbers for the first year. It could mean you are out of touch. Though I am not a fan of the mustang e. I do think it is a brilliant move on Ford's part. This is the only way the company will stay out of bankruptcy during the coming recession. Their stock has already dropped to $4 per share, soon to be $1.5 per share thanks to Tesla. I don't think their car will stack up with the model y, but the name badge will help bring in buyers and keep them afloat.

Let me see if I get this right...an EV has 30% of the operational cost (gas & oil vs electricity), 15% of the maintenance cost (no trans, radiator, gear shift, etc.), has a parts count for the entire car equal to a modern 8-spd auto trans., is FASTER than a Shelby GT350, is AWD (I live in the snow), and has only wheel bearings and the main rotor bearings as wearable parts. Oh, and gasoline is a limited-supply that will run out in 3-4 decades. And Ford execs are out of touch? This car is the only thing that will allow Ford to keep making gas Mustangs.

Unfortunate

Adam Absher hehe, certainly in Tesla’s you can add a shitton of performance as optional. SR+ to Perf Model 3 is a huge jump. And the Performance S is faster again, but maybe less ‘soulful’, being heavy. And yes performance spec adds a lot more thrills (if that is part of soul). As an OTA upgrade, the Model 3 LR can get a 1/2 sec 0-60 improvement. I do enjoy a racing V8, V10 sound, it is emotionally pleasing. Yet in 5 years will the best 2020 V8 Mustang or Ferrari be seen to have more soul than say a 2024 Roadster or Ford equivalent which will outperform it easily? I think you’ll find nostalgia will still be present but will take a back seat to performance and other EV attributes (by the world markets). The V8 sadly will become a niche player - for hobbies, drag racing, collectors etc. mainstream markets will demand performance and low maintenance/running costs of EVs
