RE: A silver Bullitt? - Ford Mustang Mach-E (2020/2021)
Very interesting post about this new car... Ford who uses Mustang to present a new electric VUS, it's a bold move. When you said Mustang, it's the sound of powerful engines that comes first. But with the energy transition, it may be a winning move... wait and see.

I'm glad that you find it interesting :-)
It is indeed a significant gamble on Ford's part, as the Mustang name is one of their most prestigious and recognisable trademarks.
An electric Mustang is the only practical move forward to keep the name alive, but I'm concerned that Ford's decided to put the nameplate on a more mainstream segment of vehicles.
Still, its a wait and see game for now, and hopefully the Mach-E drives and feels as a Mustang should...a hoonigan.
I have no idea why you would want to put the Mustang badge on a SUV, they did the same thing with the Mitsubishi Eclipse, just give it a different name and keep the fast cars in the Mustang box and slow cars in the Ford box, they are confusing people into thinking that this will be a sporty car, very confusing.
