That's not a Mustang

[RKinWA]

So I was at the store today and some old guy was admiring my MME. When came out he asked, "What is this, is that a palomino?" I said, "No, it's a Mustang Mach-e" he said, "That's not a Mustang, must be a palomino" I said, "I'm not getting into the Mustang debate, I didn't name it, the people that created Mustang did, and they say it's a Mustang so that's good enough for me" and he stops then says, "Oh, you're serious, it really is a Mustang?" and then the conversation proceeded positively. He wasn't a "It's not a Mustang" person, he honestly didn't know it was a Mustang ? Oh and now he wants one. ?

When I get "That's not a Mustang" crap, I always ask "OK, so what Mustang do you have?". Usually crickets..... When they persist, I tell them I have owned a 67 and 69 GT500, a 66 GT350, a 70 Boss 302 and 8 other Mustangs. "Yeah, but that's STILL not a Mustang", OK, buddy, go tell the Vette C8 owner that his Corvette isn't a "real Corvette" because it only has two pedals and see how it goes.

Just announced, the Limited Edition Burro Off Road Mach E with the new stubborn braking system and the Palomino Mach E with gallop mode. The design team at Ford isn't horsing around!

I think he may have been right.

Palomino:

I guy in my cycling club has a Fox body, put a crate motor in it, custom paint etc etc etc and is firmly in the "not a Mustang" camp. Whatevs....we just don't talk about it

My feeling is that it should have been called The mach e and leave the Mustang thing out of it........but I'm not a marketing guru.

But then we wouldn't have the pony everywhere, and I quite like the pony ?

I had a conversation with a Mustang dude one day. He wasn't a rabid "It's not a Mustang!" guy, but he did say it. He did like the vehicle but said he would never buy it because of the Mustang label. I told him I always wanted a Mustang, but due to bad knees I just can't have low vehicles (I can't even get into and out of an ICE Mustang ?), and now thanks to Ford, this is the closest I will ever get to being a "Mustang guy". He actually understood that. And after actually seeing it in person, and hearing the stats, he was less against the idea.

Who the f cares what someone who didn’t pay for it thinks? Lol

I would argue anything after 1973 isn't a true "Mustang" so the only people that can say this are the OG purists. And from them I would accept the comment. All others can look at themselves in the mirror. And the 64.5 was just a sporty version of the Falcon. So a sporty family car. BTW our other car is a 67 mustang and this feels as "mustangy" as that car. I actually think calling it a "Mach anything" is more the issue.... Mach has always been reserved for a sporty enhanced trim level. All this said, We love the car. Perfect for us at this point in our lives and more power and range than needed.

Isn't the Mach-E a play on the Mustang Mach 1?
