    This is hilarious. They obviously didn’t realize their target audience was drivers who don’t know how to handle a muscle car 😂

        Sure, but the mach e had a 0 to 60 time that matches the mustang GT so comparing this relevant stat, it might as well be. Plus, they need even more power because it’s so heavy

          And the Ford Focus RS had a 0-60 about the same as a Mustang, but I didn’t hear anyone wanting to pretend it was a muscle car or should be called a “Mustang 4-tech”…

            What’s your point? The focus RS isn’t electric sooooo it’s not a part of this conversation about ford EVs and their design woes lmao

              I was being sarcastic towards Ford whoring out the Mustang name on an SUV with apologists claiming that the performance made it a Mustang. Electric or not probably doesn’t even matter.

              Sorry if I was too subtle.

      Far from any overlap. Over 70% of buyers are first time Ford customers.
