Performance options. Better of two battery options ~300-mile range, reduced to 270 miles in AWD version :\
Could be. I'm not a muscle car purist. If the future of the Mustang is to rip out the V8s and Turbo 4's and replace them with batteries and electric motors, so be it. But a crossover with 4 doors should not be called a Mustang. I have no problem with Mach E but this is not a Mustang.or maybe the opposite that they are making a statement of intent re the future of the muscle car being the 0-60 possibilities of an E -car....
I agree it shouldn't be called a Mustang but I think their future plans include making Mustang it's own brand like Hyundai did with Genesis or Dodge with the Ram trucks.Could be.

Let me know when they come out with a 400+ mile e-car. Until then, I'll keep buying gas.

The Mustang brand can be whatever it wants to be - and the proof is: every single Mustang II ever made
Presumably it's easier to take a name that already means something to most car buyers and apply it.
The downside is that they are going to take a name that means something and turn it into a name that means nothing.
Certainly. And if I was working for Ford I would have pushed to reuse the 'Thunderbird' name.
Maybe; I'm not as sure as that.

They really blew naming this one. Too close to Revolis. Did the Subaru designers lose their French curves?Appears Subaru is looking for a piece of this action -

More details about the EV leaked out late last week via the Japanese auto website Response. The Subaru Evoltis will likely be an all-wheel-drive 280-horsepower electric crossover with about 300 miles of range. Of course, US range estimates will be much lower.
