So if I try to tell everyone my son is a cat, that makes him a cat? ?‍⬛
Neither your son nor a cat are inanimate objects with no meaning other than the meaning people put on them.

Some say it’s not a Mustang, ford says it is. I think it’s a Mustang and that’s all that matters to me.

So if it’s a “II” or “Mach e” after the word Mustang, it not a mustang, but if it’s “Mach 1”, “Boss”, or “Shelby” after the word Mustang it is? I’m just trying to figure out the rules. Lol!

Actually, I liked the late 60’s Mustangs, but what I really wanted (and if I ever win the lottery will find and buy one) was its less famous sibling.

Yup.

One is a “model,” the other is a “trim.”

The Mustang II and Mustang Mach E are separate models from the “Mustang.”

Even Ford puts them in entirely different categories on their website.

So, is a Bronco Sport, not a Bronco?
My brother bought his wife a new Bronco. He made sure everyone knew and I admit that I was a bit surprised, since it didn't sound like a vehicle he or his wife would ever consider.

A couple of months later they arrived in their Bronco Sport for a family event.

I realize that I might be the only person there that knows that
he didn't buy his wife a Bronco.

But everyone loved it.
And she loves it.
And he gets to brag on being the man.

I never said a word.

I don't say it isn't a Mustang because it's an SUV, I say it isn't because it isn't. Also it's not really a SUV either.
I say it's a Mustang because Ford does. In the 70s, they made Mustangs with four bangers, 90 bhp and slushboxes. Still Mustangs.

Just really slow ones.

The Mustang SVO. THAT was a Mustang too. Lima-turbo.
It was!

Because “SVO” is a trim, not a model.

Make, Model, Trim.

Learn it, Love it, argue about it on the internet.

I think the difference is estates (station wagons here) have 4 doors. Shooting Brakes have 2. At least that's my opinion... The term is making a resurgence.

Mercedes and VW appear to be capitalizing on it and misusing it for their sporty wagons, but an overwhelming majority of cars called "shooting brakes " are 2dr sport wagons. Just check out Google images

There's even a Mustang concept lol

This prototype of a Mustang wagon was built in 1966 and Ford considered brining it to market, but decided the extra cost involved in making it would increase the sticker price too much.

It actually handled better than the regular Mustang because of the extra weight in the rear and an improved suspension to carry that weight.

So we can say Ford had ideas of a SUV-ish Mustang since early on in the first generation of the pony, it just took them 55 years to actually make it! I think it even pre-dated the Mach 1, Boss, and Shelby Mustangs.

In the three years I've owned the Mach-E I've never heard anyone say it's not a Mustang. Not once. Except in the online forums.

if they could do something even remotely like this audi RS, I'd be all over it (probably couldn't afford it tho)
